Deepika Padukone, who made her debut in a grand style opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om has made sure that she didn’t let the great start fizzle out along the way through sheer hard work. On the occasion of her 29^th birthday, we list out 8 things that you can learn from the Finding Fanny actress:

Deepika is a fitness icon

Deepika is without a doubt one of the fittest actresses in India. Wondering what the secret to her sexy figure is? ‘She did four days of pilates and two days of functional training with one day’s rest. The sets could range from 2-4. The reps ranged from 15-2,.’ her trainer Yasmin Karachiwala was quoted by wonderwoman.intoday.in

Deepika was once a successful badminton player

Deepika Padukone wasn’t always into modelling. Her dad Prakash Padukone is a world-renowned badminton player and she had learned enough at his academy to compete at state-level tournaments. However, being the multi-talented girl she was, she chose modelling as her profession of choice. Read more about Deepika Padukone’s fitness secrets.

Deepika takes good care of her skin and hair

Like most Bollywood actresses, Deepika too looks extremely gorgeous and seems to be getting only better with time! Her beauty regime includes a moisturiser with SPF during daytime, and a hydrating cream after removing make-up at night.

Deepika is strong enough to deal with an extremely-public breakup

Everyone knew that Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were going out! Deepika even had RK tattooed on the back of her neck to show her love for the actor. However, she has bounced back in a fabulous manner and even did a superhit film with Ranbir Kapoor. ‘I cried a lot after my break-up. But I have become a better person and I thank him for that,’ she was quoted as saying by pinkvilla.com

Deepika doesn’t say no to any kind of food, just maintains a balanced diet

Considering Deepika’s slim figure, you would think that she makes a lot of sacrifices when it comes to food. However, that assumption is far from the truth. ‘I love that Deepika never starves herself and burns it all by busting her ass off in the gym. When she had to wear a bikini during the shoot, she would workout doubly hard for days in advance,’ Homi Adjania who directed her in Cocktail told wonderwoman.intoday.in

Deepika hasn’t let fame get to her head

‘My friends say that I’m still the same — that feels good. Why should fame change you? Just put your head down and keep working hard,’ she was quoted by wonderwoman.intoday.in. Such an attitude certainly deserves respect, and teaches us how humility is very important for success.

Deepika doesn’t fear taking on the media (TOI) and is righteous

A few months ago, Deepika Padukone blasted TOI on social media for focussing on her cleavage.

Definitely something that requires a lot of guts, considering the TOI’s huge standing in media as well at the moment.

Deepika Padukone supports health-related causes

In a recent tweet, Deepika had said, ‘Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.’ She has said that she’ll dedicate this year to Mental Health Awareness.

We wish the actress a very happy birthday, and hope that she achieves lot more success in her life.
