Indian actress Deepika Padukone is set to make her mark at the 95th Oscars ceremony as one of the presenters alongside a star-studded lineup. The Academy made the announcement on their official Instagram account on Thursday, confirming that the 37-year-old actress will join the likes of Emily Blunt, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael B. Jordan on stage at the prestigious event.
This is not the first time an Indian celebrity has been chosen as a presenter at the Oscars. Indian model Persis Khambatta was the first to achieve the feat in 1980, followed by Priyanka Chopra in 2016. However, this is a significant milestone for Deepika, who is only the third Indian to present an award at the Oscars.
Other presenters at the upcoming event include Dwayne Johnson, Janelle Monáe, Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Connelly, Riz Ahmed, and Melissa McCarthy, among others. The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and will air live on ABC on Sunday, March 12, 2023 (March 13 early morning, as per Indian Standard Time).
Deepika’s inclusion in the presenter lineup comes as no surprise, given her recent achievements and her international recognition as a talented actress. Last year, she was the only Indian on the Cannes Jury for the 75th Cannes Film Festival and went on to unveil the FIFA World Cup trophy. Additionally, she has been signed as the face of Louis Vuitton, who will be designing her Oscars outfit for the big night.
The actress has been making waves in the film industry with her latest release, Pathaan, which went on to make box office history, earning over Rs 1000 crore worldwide. Fans are eagerly awaiting her next film, Fighter, opposite Hrithik Roshan, scheduled for release on January 25 next year.
Deepika’s journey from a successful Bollywood actress to a globally recognized talent has been nothing short of remarkable. Her hard work and dedication have earned her a legion of fans both in India and overseas. With her growing popularity and influence, she has become a role model for many young women in India and around the world.
Deepika’s achievements are a testament to the fact that with talent, hard work, and determination, anything is possible. As she takes the stage at the Oscars ceremony next month, she will undoubtedly inspire millions of young people around the world to pursue their dreams and strive for success. We wish her all the best for her future endeavors and hope that she continues to make India proud on the global stage.
