Sabyasachi talks about taking Deepika Padukone for Sabyasachi event

Deepika Padukone, one of the biggest heroines in Indian cinema, has firmly cemented her place as the box office queen, with an impressive track record of successful films. She has earned the prestigious title of the ₹10,000 crore heroine, a testament to her dominance in both the Indian and global box office markets.

As a trailblazer and disruptor, Deepika has gained worldwide admiration and continues to represent India on the global stage.

Her global influence was marked by becoming the first Indian to be signed by luxury fashion giants Louis Vuitton and Cartier, paving the way for other Indian celebrities to break into the global luxury scene.

Recently, she graced the Louis Vuitton Fall 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, further solidifying her position in the global fashion world. She also walked the ramp for Sabyasachi’s 25th anniversary show, putting India firmly on the global map and furthering the country's rise in the luxury brand space.

Deepika’s return to the runway for Sabyasachi after welcoming her baby, Dua, with husband Ranveer Singh was a monumental moment in the fashion world. In a recent interview, Sabyasachi revealed why Deepika was chosen for the special occasion.

He praised her as the embodiment of elegance and global appeal, stating that she represents "Brand India," blending tradition with modern sophistication.

Sabyasachi made it clear that Deepika’s inclusion was an exception, as he typically does not feature Bollywood stars in his showcases.

He explained, “I have never really used Bollywood on my runway. Deepika was the only exception and I told her that when I was doing my 25-year show, this is probably the first and the last time that I will use a Bollywood star because this was a special moment. We’ve had a great relationship, personal relationship together, and I truly think in so many ways she represents Brand India.”

Despite being a mother, Deepika has returned to the limelight with grace, continuing to collaborate with top international brands. Her global stature has only grown, and she remains a shining symbol of Indian elegance and sophistication on the global stage. The world truly missed this queen’s presence, and now, she is back, making dazzling appearances at prestigious events.
