Deepika Padukone always remains in controversy for her affairs, blockbuster movies, sports activities, and some other reasons. But the most important lesson to learn from the actress is how she reached the peak of her career as just a ramp model who was barely recognized by anyone.

Since her debut in “Om Shanti Om,” Deepika has gained a lot of popularity and has also done some Hollywood movies, such as XXX: Return of Xander Cage, where she starred opposite Vin Diesel.

This is not what Deepika Padukone is known for; she is also a good player and loves badminton. The actress played badminton with international badminton player PV Sindhu, who praises her.
