Deepika Padukone is about to become a mommy for the very first time this year, but she still keeps excelling in her profession. Here is what she has achieved now in 2024!

Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone is eagerly awaiting the release of her sci-fi thriller Kalki 2898 AD. As anticipation builds for her new role, the actress has just reached another milestone in 2024, surpassing actresses like Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, and Priyanka Chopra. According to a new list, Deepika Padukone is the highest-paid actress in India in 2024. Check out who made the top 10 here!

The list, which features the highest-paid actresses in India, crowned Deepika Padukone as the queen of profitability. According to the list (and it is pertinent to mention it did not include South Indian actresses), Deepika Padukone is the highest earner among her contemporaries, with a reported fee of INR 15 crores to 30 crores per movie.

The list was compiled by Forbes in collaboration with IMDb. Close behind Deepika, there is Kangana Ranaut with her fees of INR 15 crores to 27 crores for per film. In the number 3 spot, we have Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her reported fee of INR 15 crores to 25 crores.

This 2024 list was featured in Business Insider India. In the list, Katrina Kaif took the no. 4 spot with an INR 15 crores to 25 crores fee per movie, and Alia Bhatt landed in the no. 5 spot with an INR 10 to 20 crores fee.

The top 10 list also included Kareena Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Check it out here!

However, according to a GQ India report, Priyanka Chopra charged around INR 40 crores for Citadel. However, this is not a fee for an Indian film.

On the other hand, Deepika Padukone has been awaiting a personal milestone as she is due to give birth to her first baby with Ranveer Singh in September. As she becomes the highest-paid Bollywood actress, how much remuneration she gets in the future will also be dictated by how well her impending release of Kalki 2898 AD does.

Deepika has long established herself as one of the most prolific actresses in Bollywood, and it comes as no surprise that she is the highest-earning actress in India.
