New Delhi: Deepika Padukone has time and again proved herself as a versatile actor, a strong performer, and an impressive persona. We still remember the actress mesmerizing the audience with her debut movie Om Shanti Om alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

Well time flies and so is Deepika Padukone’s career graph. As the diva completes 15 years in the Bollywood industry, here are times Deepika impressed us with her acting skills.

Om Shanti Om

Although a rookie at that point, Deepika still gave us a glittery glimpse of stardom with glorious aplomb. Her introduction scene in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om was a decisive moment.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Deepika as Naina is not just a character but an emotion to which every girl-next-door can relate to. From hiding her tears to being too lovesick as the man she loves walks away- the actress was honest with her character.

Chennai Express

From her ‘Bokwas’ dictionary to ‘Thangabali’ dream scene, Deepika proved her whimsical energy and broad comedy in Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express.

Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela

Deepika’s thundering outburst, ‘Har cheez ka badla liya toh iska kyon nahi?‘ to Ranveer Singh leaves him ashamed and us is awe. She totally nails the character and the emotion that was required at that moment of time.

Cocktail

We surely loved the bold and intimidating Deepika in Cocktail. Her carefree irreverence gets an unexpected jolt and slips into a convincingly dark space after she learns about her best friend and boyfriend hooking up together.

Deepika Padukone in Bajirao Mastani

Deepika’s portrayal as a strong royal princess in Bajirao Mastani, gains much appreciation, especially in a scene where she silently nods at Bajirao’s poetically pronounced terms for their next meeting fully aware he is hinting to their tragic fate, bidding her one final goodbye.

We wish Deepika all the good luck for her career ahead and wish her career to rise and shine.
