Why Deepika Padukone will pay ₹73 lakh a year to maintain her Hollywood Walk of Fame star? All about the costly honour
Actor Deepika Padukone became the first woman from India to get a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday. Deepika, who is known in the West for her appearance in XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, was among the new inductees at the Walk of Fame, unveiled in Hollywood on Wednesday evening. While many reports claimed that stars can 'buy' a spot on the Walk of Fame, the reality is that the inductees are selected by a selection panel each year. The celebs do have to shell out money after that, but only for the maintenance of their coveted spot. Deepika Padukone will be the first Indian woman to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an iconic walkway on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. It is lined with over 2700 stars on the ground, each dedicated to a celebrity. In short, anyone can be nominated, provided they are considered a celebrity. While there is no official criterion, the star on the Walk of Fame is considered a big honour. The general consensus is that 'has-beens' and 'where-are-they-nows' do not get a spot on the Walk of Fame. To get a star, you need to be one. The Walk of Fame Class of 2026 includes names like Emily Blunt, Timothee Chalamet, Marion Cotillard, Stanley Tucci, Rami Malek, Rachel McAdams, Demi Moore, Chris Columbus, Tony Scott, Greg Daniels, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Deepika Padukone. Who picks the inductees for the Hollywood Walk of Fame? The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the official organisation that administers the Hollywood Walk of Fame, receives 200-300 nominations each year. A selection panel appointed by the organisation then selects a number of inductees each year. Each star honours artists from the worlds of film, television, music, radio, and live performance for their impact on popular culture.

The induction and selection do not involve any fees or payment. It is a decision made by the selection panel of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. However, there is a sponsorship fee of $85000 (roughly ₹ 73 lakh) that the inductee needs to agree to pay. This annual fees is for the maintenance of the star. According to the official website of the Walk of Fame, "The fee is used to pay for the creation and installation of the star, as well as maintenance of the Walk of Fame." The price is subject to change.

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has been recognized as one of the 2025 inductees to the esteemed Hollywood Walk of Fame, as revealed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday evening. Deepika, who gained international fame for her performance in Vin Diesel's 'XXX: The Return of Xander Cage', will soon have her own star on the famous boulevard. While this news generated excitement and pride in India, some incorrectly claimed she is the first Indian to receive this honor. However, that distinction actually belongs to a largely forgotten Indian-origin teen star from over 60 years ago. Actor Sabu Dastagir Here, we are talking about the renowned Hollywood actor Sabu Dastagir, who was born in 1924 in Mysore, the son of an elephant mahout. He was discovered by American filmmaker Robert Flaherty and made his film debut in 'Elephant Boy' (1937), a movie inspired by Rudyard Kipling's writings. Sabu moved to Hollywood shortly after and quickly became a sensation with leading roles in major films such as 'The Drum', 'The Thief of Bagdad', 'Arabian Nights', 'White Savage', and 'Cobra Woman'. As a teenager, he became one of the most recognizable actors in Hollywood, particularly known for his roles in fantasy and adventure films. Sabu Dastagir's Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame In 1944, Sabu became a citizen of the United States and even served in the US Army during World War II. However, his fame diminished after the war. In the 1950s, he mostly appeared in lesser-known European films. On October 19, 1948, Sabu tied the knot with lesser-known actress Marilyn Cooper, who had an uncredited role as Princess Tara in the 1949 film Song of India. Together, they had two children. Their marriage continued until his passing. Their son, Paul Sabu, formed the rock band Sabu in the 1980s. Their daughter, Jasmine Sabu, who passed away in 2001, worked as an animal trainer in the film industry. Sabu Dastagir Was Offered Lead Role In… He was once considered for the lead role in legendary director Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' (1957), but was unable to obtain a work permit.

Sabu passed away young in 1963 at the age of 39, having never acted in an Indian film.
