It's a moment of pride for India as Deepika Padukone has been selected as a recipient of the Hollywood Walk of Fame star in the coming year. This should come as no surprise given her versatile career since 2005.

Deepika made her debut in cinema with the Kannada-language film ‘Aishwarya’ in 2006, after which she starred as a double role in Bollywood hit ‘Om Shaanti Om’ alongside fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan.

On Wednesday, Deepika's name along with other renowned personalities from the worlds of recordings, motion pictures, television, live theatre/live performance and sports entertainment, were announced at a live press conference from Ovation Hollywood, Billboard reported.

Miley Cyrus, Timothee Chalamet, Hollywood actress Emily Blunt, French actress Cotillard, Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, Italian actor Franco Nero, and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay will also be honoured with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

Notably, she has also been featured in TIME's 100 most influential people list and Variety's International Women's Impact Report.

She has also made remarkable appearances at the Cannes Film Festival and Met Gala in previous years.

The honourees were selected by the Walk of Fame selection panel of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce from "hundreds" of nominations at a meeting on June 20.

The selections were ratified by the Chamber's board of directors on June 25.

"We are excited to announce the newest selections of 35 esteemed individuals who will be enshrined on the Walk of Fame as part of the prestigious Class of 2026," Peter Roth, former CEO of Warner Bros. Television and chairman of the Walk of Fame selection committee, said in a statement.
