Supergirl Deepika Padukone has added another feather to her cap by bagging the 10th position in the list of Top ten highest paid actresses in the world, according to Forbes. The actress is the only Indian on the list with earnings of $10 million. The list is headlined by Jennifer Lawrence, with total earnings of $46 million.
While everyone was expecting Priyanka Chopra's name in the list, it came as a surprise for Dippy's fans as the actress is the only Indian in the list. Forbes said the Bangalore-bred Deepika, who made her Bollywood film debut in 2007 with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Om Shanti Om', has "since starred in several films that have crossed the $150 million or 100 crore mark "a barometer for box office success in India". Deepika "has also become something of a style icon" launching her own label for an Indian online shopping site.
Together, the world's 10 highest-paid actresses tallied a combined $205 million between June 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016, before management fees and taxes, Forbes said.
The estimates include earnings from movies, TV and endorsements from cosmetic and other companies.
