Fondly called the 'Queen of hearts', superstar Deepika Padukone turned 36 on Wednesday. Born in Denmark to the famous badminton player Prakash Padukone, the actor, who was raised in Bangalore, has managed to leave a strong imprint of her persona with her grace, dedication towards her work, and her humility. Promising her fans a maverick surprise each time she hits the public gaze, on and off-screen, Deepika established herself as one of India's most bankable stars. With her impeccable journey in the cinema industry, she made her way to the international platform and bagged a role in the American action drama 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage'. Following the success of her critically and commercially hit film 'Padmaavat', Deepika took some time off work to focus on her home and family. 

In 2018, she formed her own company, named Ka Productions. Her first production venture came with 'Chhapaak' (2020), a drama by Meghna Gulzar, in which she starred as an acid attack survivor (based on Laxmi Agarwal). As the actor turns a year older on Wednesday, let's revisit some of the diverse character portrayals that Deepika has put in front of the viewers.
