When it comes to fan devotion, Bollywood stars could teach even the biggest American entertainers a thing or two. That’s certainly the case with India’s top female actress, Deepika Padukone. The stunning 30-year-old, who gets mobbed wherever she goes in India, got the showbiz bug when she began modeling at 18, after having spent years as a top-level badminton player. Since making her film debut at 20, she has starred alongside most of India’s biggest male superstars, including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and John Abraham.
Last year, she appeared in Homi Adajania’s viral short film My Choice, which featured 99 Indian women talking about feminism and gender issues. She’ll be making her Hollywood debut next year in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, co-starring Vin Diesel, which means it’s only a matter of time before Deepika hysteria hits stateside.
