'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 Chopra, who was among the 100 most influential people list in 2016.
Deepika Padukone'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.'
Deepika and Priyanka co-starred in the 2015 film Bajirao Mastani, which also starred Ranveer Singh. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film was a critical and commercial success and went on to garner several awards.
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.
