It is Deepika Padukones world and we are living in it. Deepika is one of the finest, highest paying actresses in Bollywood. after conquering the Indian cinema, she also made her Hollywood debut with a bang. However, to be who she is today, major credits could go to some of her impeccable and strong characters that shaped Deepika for in a gem of an artist. On her 37th birthday, lets see some of her iconic characters from some redefining Bollywood movies.
1. Deepika Padukone Characters: Veronica In CocktailCocktail was one such movie that redefined and reshaped Deepika Padukone. Breaking the girl-next-door image, the romance-drama opened many doors for her. Veronica, a damaged, destressed rich bitch 'accidentally' meets her best friend Meera (Diana Penty) and love of her life Gautam (Saif Ali Khan). Just when she thought she was enjoying being careless, life took a turn and her zest for having a family and falling in love stirred up at the wrong time.Cocktail is a classic example of boyfriends may come and go, but best friends are for life. From her bold dressing to unfiltered honesty, Veronica ate the movie and how.
2. Deepika Padukone Characters: Meera In Love Aaj KalAn underrated character that bought out the true beauty of Deepika Padukone. By beauty, we don't mean her physical features. We mean the raw, honest emotions. In a world full of uncertainties, find a Meera to your Jay who will believe in you and your dreams. "Meera, tum hamesha sach baat bol deti ho, jaaneman!"
3. Deepika Padukone Characters: Leela In Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-LeelaWant to know what a strong, independent, unapologetic, bruised in love woman looks like? Leela is the perfect example of that. Putting love in front of everything, she was a victim of age-old rivalry between the two cultures. Leela's bold and ceremonious character bought out the best of Deepika Padukone.
4. Deepika Padukone Characters: Piku In PikuOne may follow a process of getting into a complex character. But when it comes to playing a simple girl who is extremely attached to her father, getting into the skin of that ordinary character is where the challenge begins. Accepting it with open arms, Deepika Padukone aced it in Piku and how! Piku is a woman whom we'd meet anywhere and everywhere. A woman whose life revolves between her work, family, and occasional boyfriend is someone whom we all resonate with.Bringing life to this complex character is just a cakewalk for Padukone. Her focus on the character's simplicity and teeny-tiny details was what made this movie a blockbuster.
5. Deepika Padukone Characters: Tara In TamashaWhile some called it boring and complex, we call Tamasha a masterpiece. Tara, a simple girl in search of herself, finally meets someone who changes her life and how. If you think this is a stereotypical fairytale movie, that's where you're mistaken. Deepika Padukone got into the flesh of the character and conveyed a simple yet fundamental message - 'don't lose yourself in the process of finding who you really are.'While Tara bought out the best in Ved, we think it is Imtiaz Ali who brings out the best in Deepika. Be it Meera from Love Aaj Kal or Tara in Tamasha, we love how the actress can transform a three-hour movie experience into our little fantasy world.
