Deepika Padukone is making headlines thanks to her appearance on the cover of the iconic TIME Magazine. The actress' interview and photos are already earning her praise. Given that it is a big moment for Bollywood, several fans also went down memory lane and revisited the previous covers of the magazine that feature Bollywood stars. A Reddit page dedicated to Bollywood has shared the covers in questions. The first appearance of a Bollywood star on the TIME cover was by Parveen Babi nearly 50 years ago in 1976 as per the post. This is followed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 2003, Shah Rukh Khan in 2004, Aamir Khan in 2012 as well as 2013, Priyanka Chopra in 2016 and now, Deepika Padukone in 2023. The post has been shared with the caption, “Bollywood actors and actresses on the cover of TIME Magazine throughout the years,” elicited a bunch of responses from the users.
Replying to the post, one user said, “The mothers are mothering! Parveen [Babi] was a pioneer.” Another user said, “So Parveen [Babi] was the first one to appear? She probably was a very big name back then. Also, Deepika is going places. So happy for her.”
Referring to SRK's cover, another comment reads: “Same, SRK is channelling peak Mohan Bhargav from Swades energy in that picture.” About Aamir Khan, a user wrote: “Aamir has an interesting face.”
