Deepika Padukone has become the first Indian actor to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor was named as one of the honourees for the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026 in the Motion Pictures Category.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce unveiled a list of celebrities whose names will be added on the popular sidewalk in Los Angeles. It includes international stars like Demi Moore, Rachel McAdams, Emily Blunt, Timothe Chalamet, Rami Malek, and Stanley Tucci.
All the honourees were selected by a panel on June 20 from more than hundred nominations. It was later approved by the Chamber’s board of directors. Selections were made across five categories: motion pictures, television, live theatre and live performance, recording and sports entertainment.
Deepika’s name was announced over a live-stream as she became the first Indian actor to receive the honour. She made her Hollywood debut with the 2017 actioner, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, which also starred Vin Diesel.
On the work front, she was last seen in the sci-fi actioner, Kalki 2898 AD. She will be seen next in Atlee’s directorial.
