With a massive social media following of 80 million, Deepika has now achieved yet another significant milestone in the digital space.
Deepika Padukone recently shared a reel in collaboration with a hotel chain as part of a paid partnership, which has received an overwhelming response on social media. The promotional reel has reportedly amassed an astonishing 1.9 billion views, potentially making it one of the most-viewed reels on Instagram at present.

First time I’ve seen a billion views.” Others celebrated the milestone with comments like, “It’s Instagram history to hit 2 billion views in a month,” and “Most-watched Instagram reel in the world right now — and the FIRST to hit 2B views. Guys, this is just an ad. Imagine that! If Deepika’s ad can go this viral, just think how iconic she really is.”
The reel has surpassed previously popular content, including cricketer Hardik Pandya’s BGMI collaboration (1.6 billion views), the “Flex Your New Phone” reel (1.4 billion), and even Cristiano Ronaldo’s viral clip (around 500 million views).
With approximately 80 million followers on Instagram, Deepika has successfully leveraged her global appeal not only through her film career but also via premium brand endorsements and lifestyle content.
In another remarkable milestone, Deepika is set to become the first Indian actress to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as part of the Class of 2026. She will join international luminaries such as Emily Blunt, Timothée Chalamet, Rachel McAdams, Rami Malek, Stanley Tucci, and Demi Moore.
