Widely regarded as the queen of Bollywood, Deepika Padukone is a diva who carries a distinct persona. Whether on-screen or off, she never fails to mesmerize audiences with her charm and elegance. Over the years, we have witnessed her incredible growth and transformation into a woman admired by the world.

While Deepika has been an inspiration to many women in various ways, it was the women on screen who inspired her to step into the world of entertainment.

"What inspired you to get into acting? How did the journey began?" Deepika replied to this saying, "You know, I think for me just as a young girl growing up, I grew up in a family full of sportsmen and athletes, and we didn't watch very many movies but few movies that we watched in a year, everytime we went into the cinema, I’d look at these amazing women and be inspired by them and sort of knew somewhere deep down inside as a child that, that is something I would be doing one day. I don't know how, I have no idea how I was going to go about it, but, I felt like that's where I belonged. And, so I started my career as a model first, that was my real passion and then I got discovered by Farah Khan, one of the few Indian directors, female directors and Ya, I debuted in 2017. And there's been no looking back since." It has indeed been very inspiring to hear Deepika speak about her journey. She is truly an epitome of a strong woman who has made her mark on a global level. Having recently embraced motherhood, she is excelling in that role as well.

While she was away from the cinema world for a while, we certainly missed her presence. However, she made an even stronger comeback, which speaks volumes about her strong aura.
