He is very influential, he was ranked world no.1 and had achieved major honours for the sport, he was well known sports figure around the world, that was before cricket became a big sport in India. He has also achieved national honours including Padmshri. The perception created by her pr that she is an outsider is fake, her family have major connections politically as well as professionally.
The political angle might be correct & that might have got DP into Bollywood....no idea. But being a recognised badminton player isn't enough to influence other fields. Especially something as big as Bollywood🤔
If Prakash Padukone was so influential, he would have got himself a Bharat Ratna award which Sachin Tendulkar got. Even Lata Mangeshkar was awarded a Bharat Ratna. Being ranked world's no.1 player is quite an achievement, but he got only Padma Shree which most of the recognised cricketers earn. Certainly not influential enough.
But well....DP belonged to a well off & recognised family for sure. And before entering bollywood she had a successful modeling career. If forumnews is to be believed, she never cried sob stories about outsider's struggles either. So..... it's ok I guess.
If you dig deeper almost everyone will become an insider😆
