Deepika Padukone: The reigning queen of Bollywood and the elite Rs 100 cr club

Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone is not only tasting success, but literally basking in its glory and rightly so! The actress has been on a roll in the past few years, with almost each and every release including the recent release 'Happy New Year' making its way to the much-coveted Rs 100 crore club.

Her last three releases 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', 'Chennai Express' and 'Ram-Leela' have entered the elite Rs 100 crore club making her the Queen on Rs 100 crore club.

Deepika Padukone first made her way into this glitzy town with Farah Khan's 'Om Shanti Om' opposite none other than Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan. Not only did Deepika’s performance make fans and critics stand up and take notice of this new face, but the film was a huge commercial success.

Post her Bollywood debut, Deepika did see success with films like ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ and ‘Love Aaj Kal’. However, her career also faced a bit of a lull with releases ‘Lafangey Parindey’ and ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’.

It was Homi Adajania's 'Cocktail' that proved to be a turning point in her career. Her portrayal of the bold and beautiful Veronica, earned Deepika immense praise and several award nominations. The dimpled beauty showed us that she could be more than just Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes. ‘Cocktail’ was declared a Box office hit, both in India and abroad.

In 2013, Deepika Padukone appeared in multi-starrer ‘Race 2’ alongside Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Ameesha Patel and Jacqueline Fernandez. Though the critics weren’t very kind to it, the Bolylwood thriller was the first film to enter the 100 crore club that year.

The actress then romanced former boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerji's 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' that saw stupendous success. Though the duo had a somewhat messy parting, their chemistry had their fans intrigued and wanting more of the ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ couple. The film also made it to the 100 crore club in just six days of its release.
