Deepika Padukone has made it to The Shift’s powerful list of more than 90 women who are transforming global culture, a group that includes impactful names like Angelina Jolie, Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish, Amal Clooney, and Zoya Akhtar. The tribute is a salute to women across various fields of activism to the arts, who are changing the world through their voice, leadership, and vision. This season is especially significant as it celebrates 91 years of feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

In celebration of the milestone, Deepika went on Instagram to express her appreciation. “In honor of the one and only Gloria Steinem and her 91 years of fighting the fight, The Shift is celebrating 90 voices changing our future. Thankful for the privilege,” she captioned a picture, using the hashtag #TheShiftIsOn.

In her list profile, Deepika spoke about her changing notion of success. She insisted that for her, success is not only about professional achievements. It is about inner wellness, mental wellness, and being true to oneself. She wished that future generations would adopt qualities such as patience, emotional stability, and steady growth, instead of pursuing achievements outside.

Deepika keeps shattering ceilings for Indian talent on the international stage. Furthermore, just a month back she also was the first Indian to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Professionally, Deepika is next working on a big action-oriented pan-India film starring Allu Arjun, directed by Atlee and produced by Sun Pictures.

Trade observers are already labelling it one of the most awaited releases for the next year.

Deepika Padukone will also come back for Kalki 2898 AD’s sequel. According to reports 30–35% of the movie has already been filmed, and Deepika will be back playing the mother, though the story is likely to turn its focus towards Prabhas’s Karna and Amitabh Bachchan’s Ashwatthama.
