Deepika Padukone is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall (that's about 173 cm).

She's actually quite tall compared to many other Bollywood actresses, which definitely contributes to her striking presence on screen! Her height has been a real asset in her modeling career too - she started as a fashion model before transitioning to films.

What's interesting is that she often wears heels in public appearances, which makes her appear even taller. But in barefoot measurements, it's consistently reported as 5'8" across multiple reliable sources.
