Deepika Padukone visited Madhya Pradesh to mark 10 years of her foundation, Live Love Laugh, ahead of World Mental Health Day.

Actor Deepika Padukone has been making headlines for the last few months for various reasons. The actor shared an emotional note on teaming up with Shah Rukh Khan for King, weeks after it was announced that she would not be a part of Kalki 2898 AD sequel. She was also replaced by Triptii Dimri in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit. The actor also heralded a debate on long working hours on sets with these reports.

Deepika Padukone will soon start working on Atlee’s next film, which is tentatively-titled AA22xA6.

The actor, who has been an advocate for mental health, visited Madhya Pradesh to mark 10 years of her foundation, Live Love Laugh, which continues to spread awareness and support for mental health across India.

What Deepika said

At the event, when she was asked if she ever thought she would have to pay a price for asking what she believes is fair, Deepika replied, “I have done this on many levels, this is not new to me I think even as pay is concerned you know I have had to deal with with whatever comes with you know I don’t… I don’t even know what to call it but I am someone who always fought my battles silently, and for some strange reasons, sometimes they become public, which is not the way I know and not the way I’ve been brought up but yes to fight my battles and to do it silently and in a dignified way is the way I know.”

Deepika made her acting debut in Bollywood with Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Directed by Farah Khan, the film was released in 2017.

Deepika was last seen in Singham Again, helmed by Rohit Shetty. The film also starred Ranveer, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff among others. It was released in theatres last year. She is working with Shah Rukh Khan on his next film, King.

Deepika Padukone Faces Backlash Over Abu Dhabi Tourism Ad Attire, Fans Comes To Rescue

by jummy84 October 9, 2025
written by jummy84

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone found herself embroiled in social media controversy after appearing in a promotional video for Abu Dhabi tourism alongside her husband, Ranveer Singh. The actress drew criticism and was trolled for wearing a hijab and abaya in a segment of the advertisement, which quickly ignited a debate online.

The ad, which unveiled Deepika and Ranveer as brand ambassadors for “Experience Abu Dhabi,” showcased the couple exploring various landmarks in the city. Padukone was seen dressed in traditional Arab attire, including the abaya and a head covering, while visiting a mosque. This sartorial choice sparked a wave of negativity from some users on social media, accusing her of various things.

However, the trolling was immediately met with strong support and a swift defense from her loyal fanbase, who mobilized across various platforms to clap back at the negativity and shield the actress.

Fans Come To Support Deepika- Ranveer

Deepika’s supporters lauded her for displaying respect for another culture and took immense pride in her gesture. Many pointed out the clear context for the attire, stressing that covering one’s head and wearing modest clothing is a requirement for tourists, both male and female, when visiting religious sites like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

“Let me clarify every tourist who visits Sheikh Zayad Masjid both males and females have to wear decent clothes and women to cover their heads. Many Christian celebrities, too, cover their heads. So stop making issue,” one fan explained, dismantling the basis of the criticism.

Another user drew a parallel to cultural expectations within India: “As Indians we need not show insecurity about everything. She is covering her head just like we would expect foreign tourists to wear decent clothes in our temples.” This sentiment was echoed by those who highlighted that the couple has always dressed appropriately when visiting Indian places of worship, such as the Siddhi Vinayak temple. “Mosque is a worship place just like temple so obviously she would wear clothes appropriately??” a comment read, suggesting the backlash was baseless.

Many fans focused on the professional context of the ad, arguing that as actors, Deepika and Ranveer were simply doing their job, which involved portraying cultural experiences relevant to the region they were promoting. One supporter declared, “In the tourism commercial she is wearing what is appropriate for that culture. You should be proud of someone who can go to any country and be respectful.”

The broader consensus among her defenders was that the backlash stemmed from a desire to spread negativity and hate against a successful individual. Some users dismissed the uproar as a “controversy” manufactured by “lame-a** people criticising her because she’s successful,” and declared that “No hate train can ever make me hate you.”

Other fans simply expressed admiration for the star’s look, with one writing, “She’s definitely the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in hijab,” and another sharing, “Their respect for Arab cultures and her wearing the hijab increases my love for her.”

Abu Dhabi Partnership Details

The tourism campaign was officially launched on a Monday, announcing both Deepika and Ranveer as the new faces of “Experience Abu Dhabi.” In a statement about the partnership, Ranveer said, “Abu Dhabi is the ultimate family hotspot… I now get to experience this journey with my wife who joins in as a brand ambassador, Deepika.”

Deepika herself expressed her enthusiasm, adding, “Travel is always more meaningful when it is with the people you love… I cannot wait to travel, explore, and experience everything this beautiful city has to offer.” The couple’s appearance in the ad, including Deepika’s brief wearing of the traditional attire, was part of showcasing the diverse experiences Abu Dhabi provides.

Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh Reignite On-Screen Magic In New Ad

written by jummy84

The magnetic force between actors, known simply as chemistry, is an aspect of cinema that cannot be manufactured; it either exists organically or it does not. One Bollywood pair that has consistently proven this to be true, both on-screen and off, is Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. After enchanting audiences with their magical pairing in cinematic hits like Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013) and Bajirao Mastani (2015), the beloved couple, often referred to as ‘DeepVeer,’ cemented their real-life fairy tale by tying the knot in 2018. Fans have been eagerly awaiting their joint return to the screen, and that wish was partially granted this week when the parents of Dua Padukone Singh reunited for a new advertisement, sending waves of excitement across social media.

The celebrated duo came together for a tourism advertisement that has left netizens gushing over their royal demeanor and, more importantly, their undeniable chemistry. The ad masterfully captures the essence of their real-life dynamic, starting with a scene where Ranveer is seen admiring an ancient piece of art, praising its intricate detailing. He then playfully muses, “Kabhi kabhi sochta hun mera putla ban gaya toh pose kya hona chahiye (Sometimes I wonder what my pose should be if a statue of me were ever made).” Deepika, known for her signature wit, delivers the perfect retort: “You definitely deserve to be in a museum.”

The advertisement seamlessly transitions into a romantic sequence where the two dance around gracefully, culminating in a tender moment where Ranveer gently brushes a strand of hair away from Deepika’s face. This simple gesture successfully makes viewers fall in love with their pairing all over again. They look breathtakingly beautiful, fitting together perfectly like two complementary pieces of a puzzle, reaffirming their status as a visually stunning couple.

Netizens Demand a “Criminal” On-Screen Comeback

The release of the tourism ad has immediately led to netizens manifesting and demanding a full-fledged cinematic reunion for Ranveer and Deepika. Fans flooded the comments section under the viral advertisement, gushing over their palpable, breathtaking chemistry. The sentiment across the platforms was clear: an ad is simply not enough.

One fan passionately pointed out: “It’s criminal that they’ve not done a normal romance movie together. The chemistry .” This comment reflects the widespread feeling that the industry has overlooked a golden opportunity by not leveraging their effortless romantic rapport in a contemporary love story. Another comment highlighted the perceived superiority of their chemistry over other industry pairings: “Whenever people say RK and Dp have insane chemistry, i always sigh! RS and Dp are so much better (on screen).”

Agreement was swift and fervent, with a fan writing, “They have insane chemistry,” and another netizen sharing a comment that emphasized their enduring appeal: “This is charming, nostalgic & cute, simultaneously!! Their star-power is just UNMATCHED by the new ones!!! ❤️.” The collective voice of the fans underscores the unique magic that the two actors create together, a blend of passionate romance and genuine off-screen comfort that translates powerfully to the screen.

Upcoming Projects for Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh

Despite the fan demands for a joint feature film, both Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have busy solo schedules in the pipeline. Ranveer Singh is currently gearing up for his upcoming film, Dhurandhar, an eagerly anticipated project that will see him in a fresh role.

Deepika Padukone, on the other hand, has made headlines recently for having exited two major film projects, Spirit and the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. However, her film slate remains packed with high-profile ventures. She is set to make her significant comeback to the screen alongside superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming film King. Additionally, Deepika Padukone has secured a role in director Atlee and actor Allu Arjun’s next big film, provisionally titled AA22xA6, further solidifying her dominance in the Indian film industry across various regions.
While fans await the official announcement of a new film starring both Ranveer and Deepika, this latest advertisement serves as a beautiful, albeit brief, reminder of the magic they weave together.

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were recently caught at the Mumbai airport, and a short but endearing encounter between the two has gone viral on the internet. In a now-famous video, the ex-beau couple are seen leaving the airport, Deepika slightly ahead. Ranbir shouts after her, utters, “Deepika, bye, I’ll see you around,” and hugs her warmly before parting ways.

This shocking twist has left viewers nostalgia-stricken about their legendary on-screen chemistry. Social media was abuzz with tweets by fans wishing for the on-screen reunion of the duo. One of them posted, “Bunny and Naina… Don and Mona darling,” while another wrote, “Ek hi dil hai, kitni baar jitoge!” Others called them the “best on- and off-screen jodi ever in Indian cinema” and asked for a new movie together, posting, “Do a movie together, plz… RK DEEPU!”

Deepika and Ranbir have appeared together in three iconic films — Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), and Tamasha (2015). Their chemistry as characters such as Bunny-Naina and Ved-Tara made them one of Bollywood’s most loved on-screen couples.

In the meantime, Deepika Padukone has made news recently due to her exits from big projects. It was recently announced that she will not be featured in the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD. Rumor has it that the move was made due to unsatisfied demands, which included a salary increase, fewer working hours, and special provisions for her crew.

Likewise, her walkout from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit was unconventional. Reasons given included her asking for sharing of profits, a reduced daily work schedule, and an exorbitant hike in salary.

All this notwithstanding, there’s still hope for the Deepika-Ranbir on-screen reunion among fans.

written by jummy84

Red sarees? Yes please. Bollywood’s girl gang is making a strong case for them, again! Whether it is festivals, weddings or grand receptions, our favorite stars are draping themselves in six yards of fiery elegance. From sindoori silks to sequinned organza, these ladies are proving that red isn’t just a color, it is a vibe.

And guess what? They’re not playing it safe. Think plunging necklines, gold embroidery, dramatic buns and a whole lot of bling. From Anushka’s bridal Benarasi throwback from her reception to Alia’s dreamy Durga Puja moment, the red saree is having its red-hot renaissance. So, if you’re looking for inspiration for that next big function or just want to stalk some fab fashion, you’re in the right place. Let’s take a trip through the best red saree moments that totally stole the spotlight and maybe even a few hearts along the way. Warning: You might want to buy a red saree for your upcoming festivals after this.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone looked absolutely stunning draped in a red saree adorned with intricate Bandhani detailing. The saree’s bodice was beautifully accented with delicate embroidered points. Not to mention, the detailing added a touch of elegance. She paired it with a matching high-neck blouse featuring half sleeves and exquisite embroidery. The back design of the blouse pefectly complemented her dramatic ensemble. The entire look was pure perfection. For her makeup, Deepika chose eyeliner-heavy eyes and defined brows. She kept her hair in a bun with a gajra tied around.

Katrina Kaif

Red sarees

Katrina’s red and gold saree at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding captured everyone’s attention for months. She walked confidently in a red Sabyasachi saree adorned with delicate buti motifs and a detailed scalloped border. The hem featured unique gold floral embroidery, which made the outfit appear truly special. Staying elegant and traditional, she paired it with a solid red blouse that had full sleeves and a high, round neckline. Interestingly, the structure of the blouse offered a fresh change from the more common sweetheart or plunging necklines.

Janhvi Kapoor


Janhvi Kapoor’s recent look for Ganpati celebrations was stunning and vibrant. She wore a beautiful red saree adorned with large flower detailing throughout. She paired it perfectly with a contrasting orange blouse. Her accessories included elegant golden earrings and a delicate nose ring. Janhvi’s makeup complemented her outfit flawlessly. She opted for a soft, glowing base with subtle contouring. Yes, she went on with a warm-toned eyeshadow, thick lashes and pink lips. The actress looked graceful as she sought blessings from Ganpati.

Anushka Sharma

Red sarees

Anushka Sharma’s reception ensemble from 2017 remains unforgettable and still quite talked about! She perfectly balanced tradition with a modern touch. The saree was designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. It reflected exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful artistry. For her reception, Anushka chose a magnificent red and gold Banarasi silk sari. Anushka was clear about going all out on a traditional look for her special day.

The saree was crafted by skilled artisans from the Peeli Kothi area of Benaras. They showcased intricate handwoven motifs that celebrated the age-old weaving techniques of the region. The fabric featured a thick and ornate zari border alongside another delicately embroidered border. Anushka paired this stunning drape with a half-sleeved and high-neck blouse. The look was a masterful tribute to Indian craftsmanship while also reflecting Anushka’s personal fashion.

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Red sarees

Kareena recently stunned in a red Ritu Kumar saree. Interestingly, the Red Villa saree from Ritu Kumar’s collection featured delicate zari gold embroidery and lace accents in soft silk Chinon fabric. The delicate craftsmanship of the saree elevated her overall aesthetic. She paired the saree with multi-layered necklace with green stones. She kept her makeup soft and dewy with nude glossy lips and heavily kohl-ed eyes. For her hairstyle, she kept it open and free-flowing, which complimented her toned silhouette.

Vidya Balan

Red sarees

Vidya Balan shared photos of herself wearing a sindoori red silk saree paired with gold jewelry for a photoshoot. Her saree featured a broad patti border and detailed gold brocade embroidery. She draped the six-yard saree in a traditional style, with the pallu neatly placed over her shoulder and the pleats falling gracefully at the front. The look was completed with a matching red silk blouse. The blouse had a wide plunging neckline, gold brocade work, half sleeves, a fitted bust and a cropped hem.

For her accessories, Vidya chose a small red bindi, ornate gold jhumkas, patterned bangles and a bold statement ring. Her hair was styled in a sleek bun with a center part. The makeup included darkened brows, subtle eyeshadow, mascara and a bold red lip. She also wore a dewy base with blushed cheeks and light contouring. The entire look was elegant and perfectly balanced!

Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt had caught everyone’s attention when she visited the North Bombay Sharbojanin Durga Puja pandal last year. She had worn a beautiful sindoori red saree by Torani. The saree was elegant and featured detailed gold sequins, zardozi and mirror work. It was made of organza and Alia draped it traditionally. She let the pallu fall over her shoulder.

She matched the saree with a silk blouse that had a plunging sweetheart neckline. The blouse was decorated with gold gota embroidery on the straps and zardozi work on the bust. Alia styled her hair in a messy bun. Her makeup featured pink eyeshadow, a small bindi and glossy lips. She completed the look with gold jhumkas from Amrapali Jewels.

There you have it, seven stars and seven red sarees. Oh and zero dull moments! Whether it was Deepika’s Bandhani elegance, Kareena’s Ritu Kumar glam or Janhvi’s festive floral flair, each diva brought her own spice to the classic red look. These aren’t just outfits. They are style statements with serious desi drama.

And can we talk about the makeup and accessories? Glossy lips, smoky eyes, heavy jhumkis, gajras and more. Each look was curated to perfection and yet totally personal. So next time you are wondering how to style your red drape, just channel your inner Bollywood goddess. Go bold, add a bindi maybe throw in a bun. You know, you should own that red because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it is that red never goes out of style. And neither do our queens.

Deepika Padukone Doesn’t Like Instagram Wishes? Farah Khan Reveals The Truth Behind Their Unconventional Friendship | Glamsham.com

Director Farah Khan is making headlines once again, but this time, it is not due to her films. It is because of her entertaining and endearing cooking vlogs with her cook Dilip. The web can’t have enough of the two’s real chemistry and sense of humour as they jump from one celebrity house to the next, mixing up meals and giggles in equal proportions. Their latest trip to actor Rohit Saraf’s house, who plays the lead role in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, was no exception until a harmless joke raised unexpected controversy.

In the episode, Farah jokingly made a mention of Deepika Padukone’s oft-discussed 8-hour working day preference, which supposedly had the actress walking out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie Spirit. After the going-viral video, speculations started doing rounds that Farah had dropped Deepika and her husband Ranveer Singh from her social media following list, fuelling the gossip.

Farah has now cleared the controversy in an interview with Pinkvilla, putting things in place. “To start with, we were not following each other earlier, too!” she clarified. As per her, at the time of shooting Happy New Year in 2014, she and Deepika had a mutual decision to not use Instagram for communication. “We had made a pact… we don’t even give birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it,” she stated.

Regarding the controversial 8-hour remark, Farah asserted it was just a joke. “It was not a jibe; it was to get Dilip to speak and say that he will work 8 hours now when actually he works only for 2 hours!” she chuckled. She also divulged that she was among the earliest to drop by Deepika’s place after the arrival of her daughter, Dua, and added, “Not everything is Instagram-and-pap done.”

Farah also responded to another social media-driven rumour between her and Karan Johar supposedly snubbing Aayush Sharma at the premiere of Homebound. She denied the rumor, clarifying that they had already met Aayush prior to walking the red carpet. “It can actually create issues between people,” she stated regarding such online rumors. “Fortunately, I take up the phone and call them before it escalates further!”

Rani Mukerji weighs in on flexible work hours amid Deepika Padukone's 8hr-shift demand: 'When Adira was 14 month old...'

Rani Mukerji weighs in on flexible work hours amid Deepika Padukone’s 8hr-shift demand: ‘When Adira was 14 month old…’

by jummy84 October 1, 2025
written by jummy84

As the film industry continues to discuss Deepika Padukone’s reported request for an eight-hour workday, a demand said to have led to her exit from Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas, actor Rani Mukerji has weighed in with her perspective, drawing from her own experience of balancing career and motherhood.

Rani Mukerji noted that while flexibility in working hours is essential, the pressure on women remains significantly different from their male counterparts.

Rani recalled her schedule when Adira was a toddler

Speaking to ANI, Rani recalled the filming of her 2018 movie Hichki, which took place when her daughter Adira was just 14 months old.

“When I did Hichki, Adira was 14 months old, and I was still breastfeeding her. I had to pump the milk and leave early in the morning to shoot at a college in town. From my home in Juhu to the shoot location, it would take almost two hours due to traffic. So I’d leave by 6:30 a.m. after expressing milk. My first shot was at 8 a.m., and I’d wrap up by 12:30 or 1 p.m. My team and director were very organised. I’d reach home by 3 p.m., before the traffic worsened. That’s how I completed the film.”

She stressed that conversations around flexible working hours in cinema aren’t new but are gaining visibility today because they’re being publicly acknowledged. Rani also highlighted the double standards faced by women in the industry, pointing out that female actors often have to pause or adapt their careers after motherhood, while their male counterparts rarely face the same expectations.

Rani talks about juggling work with motherhood

“These things have always existed. It’s just that now people are openly talking about it. In any profession, if the producer agrees to shorter hours, you go ahead with the project. If not, you opt out. It’s a mutual choice; nothing is forced. Men don’t have to go through a physical transformation. Women, on the other hand, go through both physical and emotional changes after becoming mothers. But I’m very happy being a woman,” she said.

Rani Mukerji recently earned the Best Actress award at the 71st National Film Awards for her performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs. Norway. The film, based on the real-life story of Sagarika Chakraborty, follows a mother’s emotional and legal battle to reclaim her children from the Norwegian foster care system.

Deepika, on the other hand, is busy shooting Shah Rukh Khan’s King which also stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Arshad Warsi.
