People around the world have been showering love and wishes on global star as she is the only Indian actress to feature in the Time 100 Influential People in the World.
Priyanka Chopra took to Twitter to congratulate the 'Padmaavat' star and Indian captain Virat Kohli, who has also been named in the list this year.
"So happy and proud to see my friends @deepikapadukone and @imVkohli on the #Time100 list.. Big congratulations and so well deserved #DesiPower #Represent," wrote Priyanka, who was among the 100 most influential people list in 2016.
Deepika's 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage' co-star, Vin Diesel, who wrote her piece in the feature, said, "So often in the entertainment industry we deal in stereotypes, and people get stuck in certain markets. Deepika is the best Earth has to offer. She's not just here to represent India; she's here to represent the world."
The list, now in its fifteenth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world's most influential individuals. Other actresses to make it to the list this year are Nicole Kidman, Gal Gadot, Greta Gerwig and Lena Waithe among others.
