Deepika Padukone is once again in the spotlight after returning from the Cape Town shoot schedule of her upcoming film King. The actress, who is expecting her second child, was spotted at Mumbai airport in a relaxed yet stylish look that quickly went viral. Her appearance sparked a wave of fan reactions, praise, and also unexpected online trolling.
Deepika had recently completed shooting for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer King in South Africa, where leaked set photos from the film had already created a buzz online. The airport sighting added more attention to her journey, especially as fans continue to follow updates from the highly anticipated action thriller directed by Siddharth Anand.
While many praised her effortless style and pregnancy glow, one comment triggered controversy by linking her appearance to a “PR move” narrative involving actor Alia Bhatt.
Deepika Padukone’s Airport Look Goes Viral
Deepika Padukone was seen at Mumbai airport on Thursday morning as she returned from the Cape Town schedule of King. She greeted the paparazzi with a warm smile and walked towards her car, drawing attention for her calm and confident presence.
She wore an oversized blue co-ord set paired with bright yellow sneakers. The look was completed with brown sunglasses, a handbag, and neatly tied hair. Interestingly, she was seen wearing the same outfit she had earlier chosen while leaving for the shoot in April, adding a casual continuity to her travel style.
Fans quickly filled social media with admiration. One user wrote, “My lovely Queen Deepika.” Another commented, “She’s so stunning.” A third added, “Ohh look at that glow.”
However, not all reactions were positive. A social media user, apparently an admirer of Alia Bhatt, commented, “Oh no, Deepika Padukone is walking through the airport. It’s obviously a PR move to make sure all the attention stays on her instead of Alia Bhatt.”
King Shoot Leaks Add To Buzz Around Deepika Padukone
The viral airport moment comes shortly after leaked pictures from the King shoot in South Africa surfaced online. The images showed Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan walking together, reportedly during a song sequence.
The photos were widely shared on social media after an X user posted them, claiming they were from the Cape Town schedule. Fans praised the duo’s chemistry, calling it one of the most exciting on-screen pairings in recent times.
Director Siddharth Anand later reacted strongly to the leak and urged fans not to circulate unofficial images from the set. The film also marks the big-screen debut of Suhana Khan, adding more anticipation to the project.
Deepika Padukone Pregnancy Announcement
Deepika Padukone recently announced her second pregnancy with husband Ranveer Singh through a heartfelt Instagram post. The announcement featured a family moment with their daughter Dua and quickly went viral across platforms.
The couple, who married in 2018 in Italy, welcomed their first child in September 2024. Since then, they have kept their daughter away from the public eye while continuing to share selected personal milestones with fans.
