Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone turned 29 on January 5, 2015. Born to Konkani parents in Copenhagen and raised in Bangalore, Deepika was always a huge Badminton enthusiast, like her father Parkash Padukone and played in National Level championships. She later decided to take up modelling. She has several reasons to feel proud. Deepika is the star who perfected the formula for a Rs 100-crore movie. Two, she makes her smile universal, especially after the movie fans miss Aishwarya Rai Bachchan`s beautiful smile. She reins Bollywood. In a very short span, the star has been cast opposite all lead actors and all her films have done very well. The actress who made her debut in Bollywood with Farah Khan`s `Om Shanti Om` opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan is now the reigning queen.  2013 is considered Deepika Padukone year as she gave four back to back blockbusters and established herself as the “hero” of the Indian Film Industry. Starting with the multi-starrer `Race 2`, a sequel to the 2008 hit `Race`, Deepika romped home with success. Though `Race 2` didn`t quite manage to earn the critics` affection, the movies went on to gross more than Rs 100 cr at the Box Office. Then came `Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani` with ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor.
