Deepika Padukone: The only actress who didn’t need a Salman or Aamir to deliver hits!

Deepika Padukone: The only actress who didn’t need a Salman or Aamir to deliver hits!

In an industry like Bollywood where a movie with Salman or Aamir is considered a blessing, Deepika has managed all her journey single handedly and for this she gets a round of applause from us


Deepika Padukone: The only actress who didn’t need a Salman or Aamir to deliver hits!   
 

The actress who is one of the most successful actresses in B town has never had a single movie with either of the stars

Nine years ago, we had a really tall girl romancing the King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan in her debut venture. Such a big movie as first attempt obviously grabbed many eyeballs since she was someone who was nowhere related to the industry and was definitely not a star child. Many insiders felt that she won’t survive this cruel industry because of her sweet looks but they were severely mistaken. Her constant efforts and unlimited hard work got her a place in the Forbes list of top paid actresses around the world. Yes, we are talking about Deepika Padukone. No points for guessing that right!
Deepika was a director’s delight ever since the time she played ‘Shanti’ on screen. Her next movie was Bachna Ae Haseeno with her then beau Ranbir Kapoor and once again this hottie was praised to the skies. After that, there was no looking back for this actress. She successfully appeared in hit movies like Love Aaj Kal, Housefull, Cocktail and the recent one being Padmavati which hasn’t released yet but the actress has bagged the role and we are sure it will have a huge impact on her career. Her career graph has just been steep but in an upward direction. There was never a slight drop nor was her career on the wrong track. It seems that the actress has always made right choices by signing correct movies at correct times. However Deepika who has appeared in more than 25 films till date has not signed a single movie with Aamir Khan or Salman Khan.
It is like a dream for any actress to be seen besides Aamir or Salman in a movie, romancing them. Who wouldn’t want it? If it’s a Salman movie, there is an assurance that it will incur huge profits and with Aamir, you can guarantee that the movie will be unique and well treated. However Deepika’s journey so far has been without such movies and whatever the actress has achieved today, it is by her own efforts and yes Shah Rukh of course. While we do not mean that the actress doesn’t need Salman or Aamir to get successful, we are just praising DP, for achieving such great heights on her own. Salman in fact has always been known to give a push to any actor’s career but seems like Dippy was determined to make everything on her own. She is like Kangana Ranaut, who has made this big without the help of ‘Khan’s’ from the industry.

There have been numerous occasions in the past where Deepika was almost finalised to play a lead against Salman in a movie, however nothing has been materialised yet. She was supposed to star with Dabangg star in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo but she couldn’t allot her dates for the movie as she was shooting for Bajirao Mastani simultaneously. Post this there were also rumours about her doing Tubelight with the star but later Chinese actress Zhu Zhu was finalised and the dream to see DP and Salman together was left unfulfilled yet again.

But we believe rather than cribbing over the fact that she has been unlucky, we should in fact praise her for having achieved this stardom all by herself. Deepika’s filmograph has always seen her act besides actors like SRK, Ranbir, Ranveer and Saif and all her movies with them have been hits at the box office (Tamasha is an exception). She deserves this applause on our behalf to stand tall in the industry without any support which a usual actress gets. Take her contemporary industry friends like Anushka or Priyanka. Both the actresses have had movies with all three Khans and they are nowhere ahead than Deepika. Priyanka might be a bigger name than her in West but in Bollywood she is still considered on same level as Deepika and Anushka infact will be a step behind the Cocktail actress since her share of hit movies is less as compared to Dippy. So having a Salman or Aamir movie in your kitty may or may not do wonders to one’s career. If right choices are made, you can still hold all the aces.
Right from the endorsements to her Hollywood venture, Deepika seems to know all the tricks and plays them all at correct timings. Today the condition is such that she’s a brand in herself and stars wants to get paired with her. She was once called a 600 crore queen during the release of her Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie Goliyon Ki Rasleela- RamLeela  since till that time, her movie’s total estimated worth was accounted to be that figure. These are all the achievements which Deepika has managed single handedly.
The actress might be waiting to sign on the dotted lines of a Salman or Aamir movie but she doesn’t really have to be desperate about it. The fact is she has a packed schedule ahead of her with her Hollywood debut movie XXX releasing early next year and the shoot for Padmavati consuming her next few months. It is only after she wraps Padmavati that the actress can think of her next project and besides whom. The actress has definitely not lost on something huge by not appearing in a Salman or even an Aamir movie. To be honest, the actress has far less to offer in these actor’s movies and as a result the actress becomes a secondary character while the actor’s take all limelight.
Deepika’s choices have made sure that the actress’s role is as meaty and as important as her co-star’s and there can be no compromise on that. Even in a SRK movie, DP’s character has always been as important and as substantial as his. Also she is one such actress who never had any Godfather in this industry. Whatever she has today, has been made on her own and let’s not deny this. We are not suggesting that she should never do a movie with Salman or Aamir but are mere noticing the timeline of her career which has been successful so far without any such movies. We definitely want to see her getting paired with them in future. Lastly, we appreciate the fact that she didn’t go up in a blind alley and instead came up in the world.
