Deepika named among 90 women shaping future
Sharing the moment on Instagram on Sunday, Deepika wrote, "In tribute to the one and only Gloria Steinem and her 91 years of activism, The Shift is honoring 90 voices shaping our future. Grateful for the honour… #TheShiftIsOn."
In the feature, Deepika reflected on her philosophy of success: "To me, success isn't just about professional achievements but also about well-being—where mental health and self-care matter as much as discipline, dedication, and determination. I hope to inspire a generation that values patience, balance, consistency, and authenticity."
Her inclusion on the list highlights her impact beyond cinema, particularly her work in mental health awareness through her Live Love Laugh Foundation, which has helped normalise conversations around emotional wellness in India and globally.
Deepika's latest outings
Deepika Padukone continues to make history, becoming the first Indian to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026.
Deepika is now gearing up for her next big-screen venture—a high-octane pan-India action film directed by Atlee and backed by Sun Pictures. Tentatively titled AA22xA6, the film features Allu Arjun in the lead and marks Deepika's first collaboration with him, and her second with Atlee after Jawan. The project is already generating buzz for its powerhouse cast and promises to be one of the most anticipated releases in the coming year.
Deepika is also set to return for the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, with production expected to begin in December 2025. According to producers Priyanka and Swapna Dutt, about 30–35% of Kalki 2 has already been filmed, and Deepika will continue to appear as the mother in parts of the sequel.
While Nag Ashwin has confirmed the scripting is complete, the film is expected to focus more on Prabhas's character Karna and his dynamic with Amitabh Bachchan's Ashwatthama.

Matt Rife's Annabelle doll purchase prompts ominous warning from psychic: ‘Should never be awakened'
Comedian Matt Rife may have landed himself in supernatural trouble after acquiring what is believed to be the world's most haunted doll, Annabelle. His plans to exhibit the doll to the public have raised alarm, especially within the paranormal community. The news came after the death of Dan Rivera, who passed away while on the US tour with the doll. However, no foul play was detected in his death, and he died of 'natural causes'. Comedian Matt Rife faces warnings from psychic medium Matt Fraser after acquiring the haunted doll Annabelle. (mattrife/Instagram) Psychic medium Matt Fraser has now issued a chilling warning as he told the Daily Mail that Rife's move could unleash 'dark, aggressive energy.' Also Read: Elton Castee net worth: What to know as YouTuber buys Annabelle doll's haunted home Matt Fraser's warning to comedian Rife about Annabelle Fraser told the Daily Mail, 'Because of all the hype surrounding the Annabelle doll, from naming her to interacting with her and now putting her on display, people are unintentionally breathing life into something that should never be awakened.' The TV personality known for Meet The Frasers explained, 'The energy builds with every mention, every photo, and every attempt to provoke a reaction. This is not just an old doll, it is a vessel tied to dark, earthbound energy.' He continued, 'Dolls do not just become possessed on their own. A spirit must be invited in, often through dark rituals or intentional acts of black magic." He warned that Rife's plans to welcome the public to Ed and Lorraine's home and their well-known museum, filled with what are claimed to be haunted artefacts, and which was closed in 2019, can endanger him and others. Fraser shared, 'That is how the soul became attached in the first place,' Fraser warned. 'Spirits that have not crossed over feed off attention, and the more fascination there is, the more active and aggressive the energy becomes.' He continued, 'It is like dealing with a bully. You can yell, push back and try to assert control, but in the end you are left drained while the bully feels stronger. That is exactly how dark energy works. It pulls from your strength, your peace of mind, and your spiritual protection.' Fraser added, 'The more it is acknowledged, the more power it gains. This is exactly why Ed and Lorraine Warren never wanted the Annabelle doll to be glorified or used for entertainment.' He also believed that the late couple truly 'understood the danger' that possessed Annabelle. Fraser said that 'People think they are just observing something creepy, but what they are really doing is inviting chaos.' He described the possessed items as 'spiritually active' and said that these are 'tied to dark, earthbound souls that never crossed over.' Also Read: Matt Rife buys Annabelle doll: What is comedian's net worth? How did Matt Rife become the owner of Annabelle? In a shocking move, Rife revealed last month that he purchased the Warrens' home and Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut. Thus, he became the owner of Annabelle. The infamous haunted doll's disturbing behaviour dates back to the 1970s. However, when Ed and Lorraine took ownership of the doll, they locked it in a glass case, which was placed in their museum. The special glass case was to ensure that the "evil evil-spirited entity" was contained and warned that she should never be moved.
