When Deepika Padukone came in to read for one of the Fast and the Furiousfilms, I knew instantly I was in the presence of someone very special. As soon as she entered the room, there was a synchronicity, a synergy, a chemistryit promised great things to come. Her schedule didn't work for that movie, but I never gave up. She was the first role we cast in xXx: Return of Xander Cage. She said, "I want to do this movie, but if I do, you have to come to India. Thank God I made that deal.

Making that movie, Deepika took committed to a whole other level. That's who she is as a performer. She wants the whole movie to shine, which is a rare thing. Anyone could talk about how beautiful she is, and anyone could tell you about her unmatched comedic timing. But she isn't just a star. She's an actor's actor, dedicated to the craft.

So often in the entertainment industry we deal in stereotypes, and people get stuck in certain markets. Deepika is the best Earth has to offer. She's not just here to represent India; she's here to represent the world.

Diesel stars in the xXx and Fast and the Furious franchises.

Are you serious?! THIS IS HUGE and she doesn't even have the Hollywood clout Priyanka does. Wow. This woman is truly loved. And am pretty sure her influence on the mental health mindset of Indians here and abroad and her dedication to TLLL foundation played a major part in her being on this list! Wow! Is Priyanka there too? She also deserves it just as much. Am so proud of these two people. Shining examples of outsiders who made it big by sheer hardwork.

no, no. Priyanka's already been on TIME 100 two years ago... she was actually one of the 5 people to be on the cover. You missed all this? This year she wrote the article for Meghan Markle.
