Indian actors taking centre-stage in the global cultural space has become one of the most notable shifts in recent years. Indian representation across luxury fashion, entertainment, and international campaigns has grown significantly, placing homegrown talent firmly in global conversations. By being the first ever Indian to be signed by global luxury fashion houses for Louis Vuitton and Cartier, she set the stage for the country’s growing influence globally and has further paved the way for other Indian celebrity faces to join the wave in subsequent years. The pioneer, Deepika has been instrumental in shaping India’s growing representation across global luxury brands as ambassadors.
Deepika Padukone cheers for Alia Bhatt and Ananya Panday as they make a splash with luxury brands: “It feels like we’ve arrived collectively”
Leading this movement are three prominent faces representing three of the biggest luxury brands in the world: Deepika Padukone for Louis Vuitton, Alia Bhatt for Gucci, and Ananya Panday for Chanel.
In a recent conversation discussing the idea of a “global Indian” identity, Deepika Padukone was asked about what this growing global presence means to her, both personally and professionally. Her response remained rooted in perspective and cultural confidence, emphasising the significance of collective recognition rather than individual spotlight.
Reflecting on her earlier campaign with Louis Vuitton, where her images were displayed on hoardings in Los Angeles, she said, “For me, ‘global Indian’ is about being proud of who we are, not apologising for it, and taking that to the world. When Louis Vuitton put up those hoardings in LA with my campaign, I didn’t feel it was my personal victory. I felt we were finally being seen. And now, when I see Alia with Gucci, Ananya with Chanel — all these girls with global brands — it feels like we’ve arrived collectively. I feel proud of us, not just for me.”
This collective moment comes at an interesting time for all three actors, each navigating different phases of their careers. Deepika Padukone, who continues to maintain a strong presence both in India and internationally, is currently working on her upcoming film with Atlee and Allu Arjun. Alia Bhatt, meanwhile, has a robust slate ahead with projects like Love & War and the action thriller Alpha. Ananya Panday, the youngest of the three, has been steadily expanding her footprint across entertainment and fashion, with upcoming projects including Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, Chand Mera Dil, and Call Me Bae 2.
The simultaneous global visibility of these three actors marks an important cultural shift, one that reflects not just their individual achievements but the broader evolution of Indian representation on the world stage. Their presence at the forefront of luxury fashion highlights a moment where Indian identity is increasingly recognised, acknowledged, and celebrated globally.
