Joining the prestigious Class of 2026, Deepika will be honoured alongside global icons such as Emily Blunt and Timothée Chalamet—marking a major milestone for Indian cinema’s global recognition.
Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has etched her name in history by becoming the first Indian actress to be selected for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The announcement came via a live press event at Ovation Hollywood, and she has been included in the Motion Pictures category for the Class of 2026, alongside high-profile names such as Emily Blunt, Timothée Chalamet, Rachel McAdams, Rami Malek, Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore, and Miley Cyrus.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed that Deepika was chosen from hundreds of nominations, with the selection ratified by the board on June 25.
She now has a two-year window to schedule the unveiling ceremony and secure her place — otherwise, the honour must be re-nominated.
Deepika expressed her joy and humility via her Instagram Story with a single word: “Gratitude.." Her selection spotlights her international influence, bolstered by roles such as in xXx: Return of Xander Cage alongside Vin Diesel, red-carpet appearances at Cannes and the Met Gala, and recognition on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People list.
While a Walk of Fame star is symbolic, it involves significant costs. Once selected, the honouree or sponsors must pay an $85,000 fee (around ₹73 lakh), which covers production, installation, and maintenance. There’s also a $275 application fee (~₹23,500) calculated every two years.
