For
any
actor,
it
is
a
huge
feat
for
their
characters
to
be
remembered
by
their
name
and
stay
lingering
with
the
audience.
Such
is
the
impact
of
Deepika
Padukone's
portrayals.
While
there
is
no
denying
that
Deepika
is
one
of
the
leading
actresses
of
the
country,
the
impact
of
her
work
is
so
deep
that
people
remember
most
of
her
characters
by
name.
Here
are
some
of
her
most
loved
characters
that
people
fondly
remember
from
her
different
movies:
1.
Piku
-
Deepika's
performance
in
Piku
was
lauded
by
many.
Her
portrayal
of
a
simple
architect
who
spends
most
of
her
time
working
and
taking
care
of
her
father
won
hearts
all
over.
Piku
became
synonymous
with
every
loving
daughter.
2.
Naina
Talwar
-
One
of
Deepika's
most
iconic
characters
is
none
other
than
Naina,
a
girl
next
door
and
relatable
character
in
Yeh
Jawani
Hai
Deewani.
Both,
the
film
and
Deepika's
character
Naina
Talwar
have
etched
a
permanent
place
in
the
hearts
of
millions
around
the
world.
The
glasses
she
wore
in
the
film
also
became
quite
a
rage
among
her
fans.
3.
Veronica
-
Deepika's
portrayal
of
Veronica
in
Cocktail
was
something
the
audience
hadn't
witnessed
before.
That
role
changed
Deepika's
career
forever,
for
the
best.
Veronica
was
a
complex
character
with
multiple
layers
to
her
personality,
something
that
was
the
opposite
of
Deepika
in
reality
but
the
actress
stunned
everyone
with
her
performance.
She
had
transformed
on
screen.
4.
Meenamma
-
Chennai
Express
saw
Deepika
play
a
unique
and
comical
character.
Meenamma
with
all
her
quirks
and
her
heavy
southern
accent,
stole
the
spotlight.
We
just
pronounced
Meenamma
in
THAT
tone,
in
our
heads!
It
is
not
easy
perform
comedy
and
it
wasn't
Deepika's
forte
but
she
nailed
it.
Everyone
definitely
remembers
the
Thangabali
scene.
5.
Mastani
-
Portraying
the
role
of
Mastani
in
the
epic
drama
Bajirao
Mastani,
Deepika
proved
her
stance
as
the
leading
lady
of
Bollywood.
Her
strong
and
fierce
character
received
praises
from
her
fans
and
industry
were
alike.
6.
Leela
-
Ram
Leela
was
an
adaptation
of
the
classic
love
story
Romeo
and
Juliet
and
saw
Deepika
play
Leela
who
was
fearless
and
her
beauty
was
enchanting
to
say
the
least.
7.
Padmavati
-
Her
first
look
as
the
Queen
itself
had
created
a
roar
among
the
audience
where
her
fierce
eyes
spoke
louder
than
words.
Without
saying
much,
she
communicated
so
much
with
her
eyes.
8.
Malti
-
Deepika's
most
recent
outing
was
more
than
just
a
film.
Inspired
by
the
story
of
Laxmi
Agarwal,
Deepika
played
Malti,
a
victim
of
acid
attack
in
Chhapaak
which
highlighted
the
struggles
of
acid
attack
survivors.
Deepika
carried
the
character
with
sheer
dedication
and
brought
about
the
nuances,
unforgettably.
