A national-level badminton player, Deepika Padukone entered the world of fashion and modeling. Little did she know back then that she would become one of the best Bollywood actresses. After doing a music video with Himesh Reshammiya, she was signed by Farah Khan for Om Shanti Om. She started her career with a Blockbuster movie, but the road ahead wasn’t easy.
She was ridiculed for her acting skills but this hard-working actress proved everyone wrong with Homi Adajania’s 2012 romantic comedy Cocktail. Deepika as Veronica was the heart and soul of this movie and was nominated for many Bollywood Awards. (Watch Cocktail for free online only on the Mzaalo app by Xfinite)
The year 2013 proved golden for her career. Her breezy and girl-next-door act from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was appreciated. But it was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela that made everyone take Deepika as a serious actor. She swept away all Best Actress Awards that year.

Deepika Padukone surely has given the biggest Bollywood hits in the last 8-9 years but she has also missed many big Bollywood movies. Here is a list of such movies that were rejected by Deepika Padukone: –
Sultan (2016)
Helmed by the Yashraj Banner and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sultan was the story of two wrestlers in love. Deepika showed her desire to work with Salman Khan but she rejected this opportunity. Maybe she didn’t get what she was looking out for.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)
This was Yash Chopra’s last movie and he wanted Deepika Padukone as one of the actresses opposite Shah Rukh Khan. But this stunning leading lady of Bollywood turned down this offer. It would have been great watching her alongside Anushka Sharma too on screen.
Dhoom 3 (2013)
Well, it seems like the Yashraj Productions have showered Deepika Padukone with multiple roles. Dhoom 3 was also rejected by Deepika Padukone and later Katrina Kaif ended up playing Aaliya in the movie.
Kick (2014)
Both Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone wanted to collaborate on a movie. But both have different trajectories now. Although Kick was the highest-grossing movie of 2014, Deepika by then knew that she cannot remain just an arm-candy in a hero-oriented movie. Maybe that’s why she rejected this Salman Khan Hit too.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)
Yes, Deepika Padukone was offered the role of Maithili, a princess from a royal family. The makers Rajshri Productions thought Deepika would be the perfect fit for this role seeing her in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. But she declined this one too. Looks like she has declined from all Salman Khan movies! Well, this role later went to Sonam Kapoor that worked wonders for her career in Bollywood.
Fast and Furious 7 (2015)
Well, it’s not only Bollywood movies that Deepika Padukone has rejected. She has rejected a successful Hollywood franchise film too. Owing to her prior commitments towards Bollywood movies, she had to let this one go.
