Deepika Padukone has delivered a string of successful films in Hindi cinema since her debut. She is one of the few actresses with three films that have each grossed over 1000 crore at the box office. Recently, in a special IMDb report celebrating 25 years of Indian cinema, she was recognized as one of the most popular actresses of the century. Following this achievement, Deepika issued a powerful statement about her journey, which many are interpreting in the context of her recent exits from two major film projects. The IMDb report ranked Deepika fourth for the most popular film titles since 2000. With her 10 biggest films, she surpassed many industry giants like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Aishwarya Rai.
