'83
Deepika essayed the role of former Indian cricket team captain Kapil Dev's wife Romi Dev in the film that was a retelling of India's iconic world cup win in 1983. Padukone's entry scene at the airport had us all looking at her the way Ranveer Singh's character did in the film
Billu
Deepika who made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om also had one of her first cameos opposite the superstar. The actress was seen as a part of the song sequence of SRK, Irrfan Khan, and Lara Dutta starter Billu
Raabta
Deepika Padukone had all heads turning with her smoking hot look for the title song of the Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon starter Raabta. Padukone grooved like a dream in the soft, melodious song
Dum Maaro Dum
In many ways, the remix version of the title song featuring Deepika served as a teaser to her film Cocktail which was released in the following year. Padukone's character Veronica from Cocktail showed her in a different light and we can see similar shades in her performance in Dum Maaro Dum
Zero
Deepika sure has a strong professional connection with King Khan. She made a cameo in Khan's last big screen outing, Zero as herself. Her calming presence sure worked like a charm for the scene. For Khan's big-screen comeback with Pathaan, Deepika will be seen opposite him in a full fledged role
