Padukone, the daughter of the badminton player [[Prakash Padukone]], was born in [[Copenhagen]] and raised in [[Bangalore]]. As a teenager, she played badminton in national level championships but left her career in the sport to become a fashion model. She soon received offers for film roles and made her acting debut in 2006 as the title character of the [[Kannada film]] ''[[Aishwarya (film)|Aishwarya]]''. Padukone then played a dual role opposite [[Shah Rukh Khan]] in her first Bollywood release, the romance ''[[Om Shanti Om]]'' (2007), which won her the [[Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut]]. Padukone received praise for her starring role in the romance ''[[Love Aaj Kal (2009 film)|Love Aaj Kal]]'' (2009), but this was followed by a brief setback.
 
The romantic comedy ''[[Cocktail (2012 film)|Cocktail]]'' (2012) marked a turning point in her career, and she gained further success with starring roles in the romantic comedies ''[[Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani]]'' and ''[[Chennai Express]]'' (both 2013), the heist comedy ''[[Happy New Year (2014 film)|Happy New Year]]'' (2014), [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]]'s period dramas ''[[Bajirao Mastani]]'' (2015) and ''[[Padmaavat]]'' (2018), and the [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] action film ''[[XXX: Return of Xander Cage]]'' (2017). She also received critical acclaim for playing a character based on [[Juliet]] in Bhansali's tragic romance ''[[Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela]]'' (2013) and a headstrong daughter in the comedy-drama ''[[Piku]]'' (2015), winning two [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress|Filmfare Awards for Best Actress]]. Following a short hiatus and two commercially unsuccessful productions under her own company Ka Productions, Padukone starred in her highest-grossing Indian film, ''[[Pathaan (film)|Pathaan]]'' (2023).
 
Padukone is the founder of [[The Live Love Laugh Foundation]], which creates awareness on mental health in India. Vocal about issues such as [[feminism]] and depression, she also participates in stage shows, has written columns for a newspaper, designed her own line of clothing for women, and is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products. Her other ventures include startup investments and a self-care brand. Padukone is married to her frequent co-star [[Ranveer Singh]].
