Bollywood’s reigning Queen Deepika Padukone is celebrating her 36th Birthday today and we’re letting this day be all about her!
Before her big Hindi debut beside Bollywood’s King of Romance Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika was already a household name in the modelling scene and was also a part of several ads.
Take a look at these 7 on-screen projects that DP was a part of before her B-Town debut in Om Shanti Om (2007)!
1. Liril (Advertisement)
One of Deepika’s first major advertisement breakthroughs was the Liril soap ad which got her immediate recognition.
2. Close-Up (Advertisement)
At the age of 19, Deepika ventured into the modelling business but soon after that, this Close-Up ad became one of her earliest endorsements.
3. Kingfisher Fashion Awards
For those who did not know, Padukone in 2006 had become one of the most recognised names in Kingfisher Calendar’s print campaign. Before that, she was also awarded the title ‘Model of the Year’.
