Actress Deepika Padukone has made it to Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World list, sharing space with Nicole Kidman, Gal Gadot, Greta Gerwig and Lena Waithe among others. Interestingly, she is the only Indian actress to be featured this year. Industry colleague Priyanka Chopra, who was on the 2016 list, took to Twitter to congratulate the Padmaavat star and Indian captain Virat Kohli, who has also been featured this year.
“So happy and proud to see my friends @deepikapadukone and @imVkohli on the #Time100 list. Big congratulations and so well deserved #DesiPower #Represent (sic),” wrote Priyanka.
Meanwhile, Deepika’s xXx: The Return of Xander Cage co-star, Vin Diesel, also wrote in praise of the actress, “Deepika is the best Earth has to offer. She’s not just here to represent India; she’s here to represent the world.”
