I find it strange that Indians are so obsessed with her and label her as one of the greatest indian actresses. She is nowhere near that title. Everything about her is way way overrated. Her acting was horrible when she started out. Now it is ok but not great. Her looks are below average. There have been many actresses who are a lot more beautiful than her. She is just over-hyped by everyone.
Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

shareI've never really heard or read anything about her spectacular acting ability to be honest. I always felt she was liked do to her style/appearance. Her acting is about average to below average.

Not only that, her fans proclaim her to be a "classical beauty"
She is fugly as hell.

Thank you! I have nothing against her, but I do find it ludicrous the way she is presently being hailed as this divine acting talent. Queen of the Box Office I can understand, but that is something entirely different from actually being a good actor.
Going on the work she has done so far, Deepika Padukone is an average actress. She isn't terrible, but she isn't what I would call "one of the greatest indian actresses", as you have so rightly pointed out.
I haven't seen Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (apologies if the spelling is wrong), but as for the other two, she gave solid performances but I didn't find them to be exceptional.
I was outraged, in fact, when Deepika Padukone walked off with all the awards. I thought Sonakshi Sinha's performance in Lootera was far more deserving. I'm hoping Ms Sinha will grow out of her fondness for window-dressing roles in hero-oriented action flicks. Indian cinema will be far more interesting if she decides to really tap into the potential we got a glimpse of when she played Pakhi Roy Chaudhary.
But the actresses I am really impressed with at present are Kangana Ranaut and Anushka Sharma. I think they both have the potential to be game changers in the industry. Kangana has already established herself as not only a credible actress, but an individual performer who can hold her own independent of a big star or production banner's backing. And I think Anushka's time is coming soon too. Very interested to see what kind of work these two go on to do.
