Birthday gift ideas for the Queen of Bollywood Deepika Padukone,

At Express LOL, we think that gifts are always better than wishes. Here are a few ideas for gifts that you can actually give the girl who has the Indian movie world at her feet:

Memory erasing potion: So she can forget that Kochadaiiyaan ever happened, and erase the memories of the one CGI artist in the world who could actually make Deepika look ugly. Rajinikanth might like a dose of the potion as well, to forget both his 2014 box office turkeys.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Because she has discovered, patented and perfected the formula for a 100 crore movie. This might have to be shared with Rohit Shetty.

Freedom from tabloid rumours: 51% of the Indian gossip writer’s life is spent talking about where Ranbir and Katrina are. The other 49% is filled with speculation on Ranveer and Deepika’s impending nuptials, even though they have never talked about them. For one day, at least, she deserves her privacy..


Making her smile universal: Since Aishwarya Rai isn’t seen much any more, the most beautiful smile in India should also become the universal symbol of the smiley. It’s got to look better than a colon symbol and a bracket, anyhow.

Getting away from it all: Wherever a Bollywood celeb goes, there’s usually a gaggle of desi tourists who will fill precious vacation time with autograph requests.

Continued success: Where do you go after you’ve acted with SRK and Rajinikanth in the space of a year, and sold more movie tickets than Harry Potter? We don’t know, but we’re sure Deepika will show us!
