Rumors of Deepika’s pregnancy gained traction, especially after her return from the BAFTA Awards earlier in the month. Observers noted a possible bump as she sported a vibrant blue athleisure ensemble, topped with a lengthy trench coat. While some interpreted it as a telltale sign, others speculated it might have been a mere illusion created by a bulging front pocket. Notably, Bollywood’s tradition of hiding baby bumps with oversized attire further fueled the speculation. Amidst the ongoing debate, one consensus emerged: Deepika exuded her trademark casual chic style.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh exchanged vows in 2018, following a courtship of a few years. Their nuptials included a lavish destination wedding in Italy, followed by grand receptions in Mumbai and Deepika’s hometown, Bengaluru. The power couple has previously collaborated on cinematic ventures such as “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela,” “Bajirao Mastani,” and “Padmaavat.” Their chemistry was also showcased in a much-talked-about episode of Karan Johar’s talk show, “Koffee With Karan.”
In terms of work, Deepika’s recent project was “Fighter” alongside Hrithik Roshan, and her upcoming projects are two highly anticipated films: “Kalki 2898 AD” with Prabhas, and “Singham Returns,” where she joins Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. Ranveer Singh, on the other hand, will feature in “Singham Returns,” reprising his role as Simmba Bhalerao. His last appearance was in “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” a performance that garnered widespread acclaim.
