Happy Birthday, Deepika Padukone! She is the best, isn’t she? No seriously, I mean it. The entire office – and country, and world – loves her so much, and for good reason! She is one of the best things to happen in Bollywood (and so is Ranveer Singh, but more on him on HIS birthday). Why am I making such big claims on her greatness? Because I have 7 reasons to prove it. Check them out!
1) When she set the silver screen on fire with her double role in Om Shanti Om!
A double role in her debut movie? With Shah Rukh Khan? Where she was the one who got all the attention and accolades? Yes, yes and yes to all. Does that make her great? Yes, to that also!
2) When she gave us one of the best interviews on Koffee With Karan EVER!
‘Baba ke liye juice‘. Golden line from Season 3.
3) When she sizzled as Veronica in Cocktail
The Government was tempted to ban her because of her hotness. I didn’t say it, Yo Yo Honey Singh did!
4) When she sizzled even more as Leela in Ram-Leela
Leela jaisi koi nahi!
5) When she consistently gave back-to-back blockbusters in 2013 (and continued the trend in 2014)
Flawless.
6) When she had the guts to call out a leading daily for being sexist and pathetic
#IStandWithDeepika because she’s such a boss.
7) When she did a movie as off-beat and quirky as Finding Fanny
Because she has the guts to take the off-beat track at the peak of her career!
Basically it’s Deepika Padukone’s world and we’re all just living in it! Happy Birthday gorgeous, we love you!
