One of Indian cinema's most celebrated and recognised faces globally, Deepika Padukone has had an eventful 2023 with the success of her films Pathaan and Jawan. She also successfully completed filming for Kalki 2898 AD and Fighter. As the world embraces a brand new year ahead, the actress took to her Instagram to post her year-ender reel, reflecting upon how the year gone by treated her.
From presenting the highly-celebrated song Naatu Naatu from S.S. Rajamouli's RRR at the Oscars' stage to earning a spot in India's top 100 women achievers, Deepika has had a remarkable journey all through the year. Her homegrown skincare brand 82E also marked a year since its inception and 2023 witnessed a range of products being introduced for different functions. The 37-year old actress even held her head high when her well-intentioned revelations about her courtship with hubby Ranveer Singh and the many phases that she went through, on the Koffee With Karan Season 8 couch caused an unwarranted stir and brought a barrage of unsolicited judgements for her. Unpreturbed, DP continued doing what she does best. Working hard and silencing her detractors.
In her recent cinematic appearance, Deepika made a brief yet impactful mark in the Shah Rukh Khan-led film Jawan as Aishwarya Rathore. Her future projects include Fighter, her first collaboration with Hrithik Roshan under Siddharth Anand's direction. Additionally, she is set to portray the fierce cop Shakti Shetty in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. Another noteworthy project is Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas and Disha Patani in significant roles.
