Her paternal grandfather, Ramesh, was a secretary of the Mysore Badminton Association. The family relocated to Bangalore, India, when Padukone was a year old. 

She was educated at Bangalore\\\’s Sophia High School and completed her pre-university education at Mount Carmel College. 

She subsequently enrolled at the Indira Gandhi National Open University for a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, but later dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with her modelling career.

Padukone has said that she was socially awkward as a child and did not have many friends. The focus of her life was badminton, which she played competitively from a young age. 

In describing her daily routine in a 2012 interview, Padukone said, \\\”I would wake up at five in the morning, go for physical training, go to school, again go for playing badminton, finish my homework, and go to sleep.\\\” 

Padukone continued to pursue a career in badminton throughout her school years and played the sport in national-level championships. 

She also played baseball in a few state-level tournaments. While concentrating on her education and sporting career, Padukone also worked as a child model, first appearing in a couple of advertising campaigns at the age of eight. In the tenth grade, she changed focus and decided to become a fashion model. 

She later explained, \\\”I realised that I was playing the game only because it ran in the family.\\\” So, I asked my father if I could give up the game, and he wasn\\\’t upset at all. 

In 2004, she began a full-time career as a model under the tutelage of Prasad Bidapa.

Early in her career, Padukone gained recognition with a television commercial for the soap Liril and modelled for various other brands and products. 

In 2005, she made her runway debut at Lakme Fashion Week for designer Suneet Varma and won the \\\”Model of the Year\\\” award at the Kingfisher Fashion Awards. 

Padukone\\\’s fame increased when she appeared in a highly popular print campaign for the 2006 Kingfisher Calendar; the designer Wendell Rodricks commented, \\\”Since Aishwarya Rai, we haven\\\’t had a girl as beautiful and fresh.\\\” 

Rodricks had spotted her at a Ganjam jewellery class he was teaching and signed her up with the Matrix agency. 

At the age of 21, Padukone relocated to Mumbai and stayed at her aunt\\\’s home. That year, she gained wider recognition by featuring in the music video for Himesh Reshammiya\\\’s song \\\”Naam Hai Tera.\\\”

Padukone soon began to receive offers for film roles. Believing herself to be too inexperienced as an actor, she instead enrolled in a course at Anupam Kher\\\’s film academy. 

Following much media speculation, the director Farah Khan, who had noticed her in Reshammiya\\\’s music video, made the decision to cast her for a role in Om Shanti Om. Fashion designer Wendell Rodricks also takes credit for helping her get the role. 

Farah Khan was looking for a model to star in her next film and got in touch with Malaika Arora. Rodricks, for whom Padukone had been modelling for roughly two years then, recommended her to Arora, a close friend of his, who in turn recommended her to Khan in 2007.

Film breakthroughs and career struggles (2006–2011)
Padukone announced in 2006 that she would make her film debut with Aishwarya, a Kannada film directed by Indrajit Lankesh. 

RG Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com was appreciative of Padukone\\\’s screen presence but added that \\\”she needs to work on her emotional scenes.\\\” 

By the end of 2006, Farah Khan\\\’s Happy New Year had been shelved, and Khan had instead cast Padukone for the melodrama Om Shanti Om (2007). 

Set against the backdrop of the Hindi film industry, the film tells the story of a struggling actor in the 1970s who dies soon after witnessing the murder of the woman he loved and is reincarnated to avenge her death. 

Shah Rukh Khan starred as the protagonist, and Deepika Padukone featured in dual roles as a leading actress of the 1970s and later, an aspiring actress. 

In preparation for her role, Padukone watched several films of actresses Helen Mirren and Hema Malini to study their body language. Her voice was dubbed by the voice artist Mona Ghosh Shetty. 

For one of the songs in the film, \\\”Dhoom Taana,\\\” Padukone drew upon Indian classical dance and, according to Dorling Kindersley, \\\”mesmerized audiences\\\” by using hasta mudras (hand gestures). 

Om Shanti Om was a commercial success and emerged as the highest-grossing film of the year, with a global revenue of 1.49 billion (US$19 million). 

Taran Adarsh of the entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama opined that she had \\\”all it takes to be a top star,\\\” and she was awarded the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award and received her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination. 

Bollywood Hungama reported that the success of Om Shanti Om proved to be a breakthrough for her.

Padukone next played the role of one of star Ranbir Kapoor\\\’s love interests in Yash Raj Films\\\’ romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008). The film was a financial success, but Namrata Joshi of Outlook wrote that Padukone\\\’s performance was disappointing: \\\”She is mannequin-like and utterly lacks fire and zing.\\\” 

Her first release of 2009 came alongside Akshay Kumar in Nikhil Advani\\\’s kung fu comedy Chandni Chowk to China, in which she portrayed dual roles of Indian and Chinese twin sisters. Produced by Warner Bros.

It had one of the widest international releases given to an Indian film. Padukone learned jujutsu and performed her own stunts. 

Despite the hype, Chandni Chowk to China was a financial failure, failing to recoup its $800 million (800 million) budget. 

Following an item number (for a song called \\\”Love Mera Hit Hit\\\”) in the drama Billu, she appeared alongside Saif Ali Khan in the romantic drama Love Aaj Kal from the writer-director Imtiaz Ali. 

The film documented the changing value of relationships among the youth and had Padukone play the part of Meera Pandit, a headstrong career woman. 

With a worldwide gross of 1.2 billion (US$15 million), \\\”Love Aaj Kal\\\” proved to be the third highest-grossing film of 2009.

Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis said that Padukone \\\”delivers the best of her four performances so far.\\\” At the 55th Filmfare Awards, Padukone received a nomination for Best Actress.

Padukone had five film releases in 2010. Her first role was in the psychological thriller Karthik Calling Karthik, where Padukone was cast as the supportive girlfriend of a depressed man (played by Farhan Akhtar). 

Derek Elley of Variety found the film to be \\\”thinly plotted\\\” but considered \\\”the uncomplicated ingenuousness of Padukone\\\” to be the film\\\’s highlight. Commercially, the film performed poorly. 

Her most financially profitable film that year was Sajid Khan\\\’s ₹1.15 billion (US$14 million)-grossing comedy film Housefull in which she featured alongside an ensemble cast headlined by Akshay Kumar. 

Raja Sen described the film as a \\\”festival of bad acting\\\” and attributed Padukone\\\’s poor performance to her \\\”plasticky expressions.\\\”

Pradeep Sarkar\\\’s 2010 drama Lafangey Parindey starred Padukone as a blind girl determined to win a skating competition. In preparation, she observed the interactions of blind people and rehearsed scenes while blindfolded. 

Writing for The Hindu, Sudhish Kamath was particularly impressed by the \\\”considerable restraint\\\” with which she played her part. Her next role was opposite Imran Khan in the romantic comedy Break Ke Baad. 

CNN-IBN\\\’s Rajeev Masand found the film to be \\\”watchable largely for the performance of its leading lady.\\\” Padukone\\\’s final release of 2010 was Ashutosh Gowariker\\\’s period film Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey opposite Abhishek Bachchan. 

Based on the book Do or Die, the film is a retelling of the 1930 Chittagong army raid. Bachchan starred as the revolutionary leader Surya Sen, and Padukone played Kalpana Dutta, his confidante. 

Padukone said that she was unable to research her role as there was very little information on Dutta and relied on Gowarikar\\\’s direction. It did not perform well commercially.

Padukone began 2011 with an item number in Rohan Sippy\\\’s Dum Maaro Dum. She referred to it as \\\”the wildest song any actress has done.\\\” The song\\\’s sexual content attracted controversy, including a court case for indecency. 

Her next film was Prakash Jha\\\’s socio-political drama Aarakshan, which dealt with caste-based reservations in India. Trade journalists had high expectations for the film, which ultimately flopped at the box office. 

The critical reaction was largely negative, though Pratim D. Gupta mentioned Padukone as the most \\\”refreshing thing\\\” about it. 

Her final appearance that year was in Rohit Dhawan\\\’s comedy-drama Desi Boyz alongside Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, and Chitrangada Singh, a role that failed to propel her career forward. The series of poorly received films led critics to perceive that Padukone had \\\”lost her sparkle.\\\”
