Deepika Padukone has earned a place on The Shift’s prestigious global list of 90+ Women Shaping Culture. She joins an impressive line-up that includes Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie, Billie Eilish, Amal Clooney, and filmmaker Zoya Akhtar. The list celebrates women who are influencing global culture through creativity, activism, leadership, and long-term impact.

This year’s edition is a special tribute to feminist icon Gloria Steinem, marking her 91st birthday. The Shift honoured 90 influential women to symbolise 91 years of her activism. Deepika shared her gratitude on Instagram, writing, “In tribute to the one and only Gloria Steinem and her 91 years of activism, The Shift is honoring 90 voices shaping our future. Grateful for the honour… #TheShiftIsOn.”

In her profile, Deepika Padukone spoke about redefining success beyond fame or career milestones. She said, “To me, success isn't just about professional achievements but also about well-being, where mental health and self-care matter as much as discipline, dedication, and determination. I hope to inspire a generation that values patience, balance, consistency, and authenticity.”

Her inclusion highlights her growing influence beyond the film industry. Deepika Padukone’s mental health initiative, The Live Love Laugh Foundation, continues to break barriers in India by encouraging conversations around emotional wellness. The foundation has been instrumental in creating awareness around depression and anxiety, particularly among the youth.

While Deepika Padukone is known worldwide for her performances, this recognition underscores her impact as a changemaker. She’s not just using her celebrity status for endorsements or red carpet appearances—she’s using her voice to shift narratives about self-worth, emotional health, and identity.

Adding to her global milestones, she’s also set to become the first Indian celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026. This honour proves that Deepika’s reach now extends far beyond cinema—into cultural leadership that resonates on a global scale.
