Deepika Padukone became the highest paid actress in Bollywood after charging 13 cr for her titular lead role in this film, more than her male counterparts in the film which set an example in an industry plagued with pay gap issues.
Character-driven slow-paced films became mainstream in Bollywood with Shoojit's Sircar's Piku, where Deepika commendably essayed the titular character and was backed by the acting legends Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan.
Deepika had the dreamiest launch in a film that was a fitting tribute to the glory of Indian Cinema but it also achieved a remarkable feat of bringing together maximum actors in a single song. The film is now fondly remembered for its meta storyline and performances of Deepika and SRK.
In the past, the party-loving, carefree girl in films were often shown to have a poor character, like homebreakers, cheaters, etc. But Veronica in Deepika's breakthrough film Cocktail made us sympathise with her feelings and her pain.
The Imtiaz Ali film was a refreshing take on the changing dynamics in relationships, from the olden to the modern era. Sparks of Deepika's talent were noticed in her performance in this film.
The film flopped at the box-office but became a cult hit on the internet with modern moviegoers. Fans related to Ved and seeked for a Tara in their lives.
YJHD is the go-to film of most people for its story that revolves love, life and friendship. The characters in the film will remind you of your friends' group. Deepika as Naina was the soul of the story.
