She is one of the most discussed name in Bollywood today. She is tall and beautiful bollywood beauty and star of the movie ‘ Om Shanti Om’. Yes we are talking about Deepika Padukone, a 21 year old model-cum-actress and daughter of famous badminton player Prakash Padukone.
Earlier Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that he is fond of Deepika and would be happy to have girlfriend like Deepika but Deepika shocked everyone when she attended a birthday party with another cricket star Yuvraj Singh.
