1. Biography
Deepika
Padukone,
born
5th
January
1986
in
Copenhagen,
Denmark,
is
an
Indian
model
and
actress
with
a
height
of
5’
8
½.
She
is
the
daughter
of
former
badminton
champion
Prakash
Padukone.
Her
mother
tongue
is
Konkani.
Deepika
has
a
younger
sister
named
Anisha.
She
has
been
modelling
appearances
in
print
and
television
advertising
campaigns
for
Liril,
Close-­‐Up
toothpaste
and
Limca,
receiving
many
prestigious
modelling
offers,
including
brand
ambassadorship
of
the
Jewels
of
India,
an
annual
jewellery
exhibition.
She
hit
the
international
scene
why
Maybelline
made
their
new
international
cover-­‐girl
face.
At
the
fifth
annual
Kingfisher
Fashion
Awards,
for
Indian
models
and
designers,
she
was
awarded
the
title
of
‘Model
of
the
Year.
Shortly
afterwards,
she
was
chosen
as
on
of
the
models
for
the
Kingfisher
Swimsuit
Calendar
for
2006,
thus
cementing
her
reputation
as
a
supermodel.
At
the
age
of
21,
Padukone
relocated
to
Mumbai
and
stayed
at
her
aunt's
home.
That
year,
she
gained
wider
recognition
by
featuring
in
the
music
video
for
Himesh
Reshammiya's
song
“Naam
Hai
Tera”.
Padukone
soon
began
to
receive
offers
for
film
roles.
Believing
herself
to
be
too
inexperienced
as
an
actor,
she
instead
enrolled
for
a
course
at
Anupam
Kher's
film
academy.
Following
much
media
speculation,
the
director
Farah
Khan,
who
had
noticed
her
in
Reshammiya's
music
video,
made
the
decision
to
cast
her
for
a
role
in
Happy
New
Year.
Padukone
announced
in
2006
that
she
would
make
her
film
debut
with
Aishwarya,
a
Kannada
film
directed
by
Indrajit
Lankesh.
By
the
end
of
2006,
Farah
Khan's
Happy
New
Year
was
shelved,
and
Khan
had
instead
cast
Padukone
for
the
reincarnation
melodrama
Om
Shanti
Om
(2007).
Bollywood
Hungama
reported
that
the
success
of
Om
Shanti
Om
proved
a
breakthrough
for
Padukone.
Her
latest
appearance
is
in
Farah
Khan’s
Happy
New
Year.
She
has
starred
in
a
total
of
22
Bollywood-­‐Hindi
films
excluding
her
special
appearances
in
songs.
