Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone has earned a prestigious spot in The Shift’s “90+ Women Shaping Culture” list, a global recognition celebrating influential women across fields. Deepika was honored for her continued advocacy in mental health awareness and women empowerment—causes she has championed for years.
The announcement came on July 27, with The Shift, a cultural publication, releasing its tribute in honor of Gloria Steinem’s 91 years of activism. The curated list includes trailblazers who are impacting culture, sparking conversations, and inspiring change around the world. Deepika shares the spotlight with global icons such as singer-actor Selena Gomez, Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie, and music sensations Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
Deepika took to Instagram on Sunday to express her gratitude. “In tribute to the one and only Gloria Steinem and her 91 years of activism, The Shift is honoring 90 voices shaping our future. @theshiftison grateful for the honour… #TheShiftIsOn,” she captioned the post.
Over the years, Deepika has used her platform not only to showcase cinematic brilliance but also to normalize discussions around mental health through her Live Love Laugh Foundation. Her openness about her own struggles with depression has been praised for breaking the stigma in Indian society. Moreover, her strong stance on gender equality and women’s rights continues to inspire young women across the globe.
This international recognition marks yet another milestone in Deepika’s journey as both an artist and an advocate. Being featured among such globally renowned names highlights her growing influence beyond cinema, positioning her as a true cultural leader on the world stage.
