Deepika Padukone becomes first Indian to receive Hollywood Walk of Fame star
Deepika Padukone is making history again. The Bollywood actress has been named as the first Indian celebrity to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The recognition will be made official next year, and places the Piku performer among a global roster of artists selected for their contributions to the entertainment industry. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recently announced the 2026 inductees, with Padukone named in the Motion Pictures category. Other honourees include Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, Demi Moore, Rami Malek, Timothee Chalamet and Stanley Tucci – reflecting a broad international presence across the arts. Padukone rose to fame with her Bollywood debut in 2007's Om Shanti Om, which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and established her as a leading actress. She has also built a strong presence on the international stage over the years. In 2017, she made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage alongside Vin Diesel. Beyond acting, Padukone has represented luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Cartier, and has been featured twice on the cover of Time magazine as a 'Global Star' and named among Time's 100 Most Influential People.
