Deepika Padukone has been recognized as a disruptor for 2024 by the international publication Deadline. She is one of the few influential figures who are changing the face of the film industry today. Interestingly enough, Deepika is the only Indian actress on this list, and this cements her status as a trendsetter in the global arena too. She can now stand with some other celebrities such as Uma Thurman and Eva Longoria!
Deepika Padukone becomes only Indian actor recognised as a global disruptor in entertainment by Deadline
The recognition emphasizes how much Deepika has done to change entertainment on an international scale. Her successful films have dominated India’s box office for two years consecutively. Her journey from Bollywood to becoming an international icon was truly phenomenal: she presented at Oscars and BAFTAs, sat on Cannes’ jury, appeared on Time’s cover page; also, she was the first Indian to reveal FIFA World Cup trophy. This has never happened before.
This recognition points out that there is no border to limit what Deepika will achieve through art because she crosses over effortlessly into different cultures and places around the world.
Deepika’s contributions go beyond acting. She uses her voice to raise awareness about mental health problems among people globally. Consequently, Live Love Laugh Foundation – her organization – tackles head-on stigma associated with mental health conditions within India and across borders. Thus, it has earned her overwhelming respect from people all over the world.
