Levi's MD - south Asia & MENA Sanjeev Mohanty said, "We are absolutely thrilled, Deepika’s personality shines through a balance of being bold, authentic, true and uncompromising that perfectly fits with our brand values. She is not only a style icon but also an inspiration to the youth and women globally. With her on-board, we are confident of strengthening the brand further especially when we are strongly focusing on leading the women’s category.” 

Padukone added, “Authenticity, originality and honesty are values that the brand has been built on and are values I identify with the most.

I am absolutely honoured and delighted to be associating with one of the world’s most iconic brands-Levi’s.”

For Levi’s, this year will be about statement-making shapes like high-rises, on-trend loose fits, and the runway returning wide-leg bottoms.
