24 Hours With Deepika Padukone

What does a regular day in the life of an A-list actor look like? From beauty rituals to cheat meals, Bollywood‘s golden girl gives Trisha Chawla a peek into her no-frills routine.

When you think of classic beauty, nobody owns it better than Deepika Padukone. But now, in just her second year as brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, the actor has broken out of her signature style. Case in point: the ruffled gown and rockstar eye make-up she sported at the red carpet at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Her career, too, is on a meteoric rise. With blockbusters like Padmaavat and xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, in recent times, she has consolidated her power on home turf while stalking into the limelight globally. Last month, she went from Bollywood icon to Hollywood diva to red carpet connoisseur in the span of a week. How does she manage it all? A trusted team, an easy-going routine and a tonne of feel-good remedies are her super powers, it turns out.
