Deepu is in news again. No not for her acting abilities, but for her remuneration. Padukone “has also become something of a style icon” launching her own label for an Indian online shopping site.
The Indian actress DeepikaPadukone has made her debut among the world’s top 10 highest paid actresses with earnings of USD 10 million dollars in a list alongside Hollywood heavyweights Oscar-winner Jennifer
Lawrence, Julia Roberts and ‘Friends’ star Jennifer Anniston.Padukone, 30, is the only Indian actress and the sole newcomer in Forbes’ 2016 list of the ‘World’s Highest-Paid Actresses’, coming in on the 10th spot. Forbes said Padukone has scored box office gold in Bollywood movies such as Ramleela , ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Piku’.
While she earns less than her Hollywood counterparts for roles, Padukone “compensates with over a dozen lucrative endorsements”, which “have helped her hedge against a deep pay gap in Bollywood”.
