Deepika Padukone has yet again proved why she’s ahead of everyone in the game. The Indian star was recently featured in TIME magazine for bringing Indian culture on the world map.

Donning oversized beige pants with a matching blazer, Deepika exuded boss lady vibes. The actress kept her hair in her classic beachy waves, with her dewy skin glistening and her makeup nailed to perfection. The actress, who is currently riding high on the success of Pathaan and gearing up for a series of interesting lineup of films like Project K and Fighter, was recently seen attending the Oscars as a presenter.

With this, Deepika Padukone gets added to the list of the rare Indian actors to be on the cover of TIME, as she joins the club of global figures like Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey and other influential personalities who’ve had the honour of featuring on the cover. It is not her first association with TIME since last year the actress was awarded ‘The Time100 Impact Award’ for her achievements in cinema and for her work in mental health advocacy. She was also the only Indian to be honoured twice by TIME.
