For this and much more, Deepika Padukone joined world leaders including scientists and CEOs, artists and activists, pop stars and politicians as 2022’s TIME100 Impact Awardee, recognition of leaders who, through sustained effort, have done extraordinary work to shape the future of their industries and the world at large.




Interestingly, this makes Deepika Padukone the first Indian actress to be honoured twice by Time Magazine.


A couple of years ago in 2018, the superstar was among TIME's 100 most influential people in the world. With this, she became the only Indian actress to feature on the list alongside names like Nicole Kidman, Gal Gadot, Greta Gerwig and Lena Waithe.
