"alltoptens.com"
Deepika Padukone is an actress and model in Bollywood film world. She has established a successful career in Hindi films, and is cited in the media as one of the most popular and attractive Indian celebrities.
This 28 year given several blockbuster movies such as Om Shanti Om, Love aaj kal, Cocktail and very recent Chennai Express.
From ruling the ramp as a Supermodel to being hand-picked by the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan to play dual roles in the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om, she made optimum usage of all the opportunities and shone as Sandy and Shantipriya. A new superstar was born the day OSO released in 2007 and there was no looking back for this stunner.
She was born in Copenhagen, Denmark,( January 5, 1986) Deepika’s father, ace badminton player Prakash Padukone moved back to Bangalore with his wife Ujjala when Deepika was just a year old.
Playing badminton was one of the first things she learnt. “I’d wake up at about five in the morning, go for training, go to school, return and go to play again. I was a very outdoor person, but I didn’t have a big circle of friends. Life was pretty simple,” She is 5' 9" (1.74 m) Deepika says. “Well, borderline boring,” she laughs...

The culture at home reflected a disciplined sportsman’s nature. Late-night parties or typical ‘teenage’ behaviour were not appreciated. “Dad didn’t understand why a party needed to start so late at night – the time one should go to bed! Dad would come to pick me sharp at 10, my deadline, if at all he allowed me to go anywhere!” So, even though they grew up as Prakash Padukone’s daughters, Deepika and her younger sister Anisha (now a national-level golf player) had completely ‘normal’ childhoods. “There were no unnecessary indulgences. Getting `5 as pocket money on a Wednesday and eating ice-cream or dosa in school with that money was a big deal.”
It was the same discipline that Deepika followed when she travelled for her badminton matches. No air tickets. Often, not even a train berth. She slept on the floor with her teammates if last-minute reservations were made.

Happy Birthday Deepika Padukone. There are more hearts lost deep into your dimples than the rupees all three Khans' movies make combined.
Mumbai Film Industry...Bollywood
Mumbai, India's entertainment capital and home to Bollywood, is one of the most prolific centers of film production in the world. Yet there are so many misconceptions about the industry in the minds of even hardcore cinephiles that before describing what is Bollywood, it becomes an imperative to describe what is not Bollywood.
Bollywood is not a name for the Indian filmmaking industry; it is a name for the country's Hindi film industry. Films are made in various other languages in India, and each language's industry carries its own name (such as "Tollywood" and "Kollywood").
Claims are often made that Bollywood is the biggest filmmaking industry in the world, which is incorrect. The Indian film industry is the biggest in the world, with the American counterpart placing third — behind Nollywood, Nigeria's equivalent. According to India's censor board, more than 1600 films were produced in the country in 2012. Even in India, Bollywood is not the biggest industry in terms of output. Last year, more films were produced in Tamil (262) and Telugu (256) than in Hindi (221).
Nevertheless, when it comes to global presence, box-office sales and far-reaching influence, Bollywood's might exceeds that of India's other film industries, and Mumbai's of other cities. To understand the true scale of this dominance, it is useful to look at the past and present of Mumbai.
Mumbai has long been one of India's foremost centers for arts and culture, being one of the biggest sites of the country's theater scene in the 19th and early-20th centuries. However, the reach of theater was limited in India in that era, and still is. The limited mobility of the performers -- and their acts with them -- ensured theater was never a mass phenomenon. Literature was handicapped in trying to penetrate the populace too; the high rate of illiteracy combined with segmentation of the few literates into different languages meant it was hard for a book or novel to serve as a binding fabric.
Thus, cinema -- not bound by the constraints of mobility or literacy -- reached and satisfied the Indian public in a way no prior medium had. From that time to today, cinema has been the most popular platform of mass media in the country. (Thanks to IndieWire)

# 2 Katrina Kaif 2014....
British Indian film actress and model. She is primarily known for her work in Bollywood films.
She started her Bollywood career with 'Boom' and saw success with 'Sarkar' and also appeared in Telugu and Malayalam films.
She won many awards to say a couple The Filmfare Award, she also won the Best Female Style Icon at IIFA Awards.
Her sensual and flirtatious look would have won her the most searched Indian Celeb on Google.
This was Bollywood’s heyday, a time when director Ramesh Sippy gave his iconoclastic Sholay (1975). The film, which has been internationally acclaimed, also clinched the title of ‘superstar’ for Amitabh Bachchan, who already had well over 30 films under his belt by then.
The 1980s saw the rise of several woman directors such as Aparna Sen, Prema Karnath and Meera Nair. It was also the decade when sultry siren Rekha wooed audiences with her stunning performance in Umrao Jaan (1981). Thanks to bollywoodtourism.com
