Deepika Padukone Cradles Her Baby Bump As She Steps Out for Dinner With Ranveer's Family | Watch

Deepika Padukone made a stylish appearance in Mumbai on Tuesday evening, stepping out for a family dinner with Ranveer Singh’s parents and sister. The actress, who is in the final trimester of her pregnancy, exuded effortless elegance in an oversized black blazer paired with matching wide-legged trousers. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders, adding to the chic and relaxed vibe of her outfit. As she stepped out of the car, Deepika gently cradled her baby bump, a gesture that quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike.

Bollywood paparazzo Viral Bhayani shared a video of the actress arriving at the restaurant, where she was greeted by Ranveer’s father, mother, and sister, all dressed in coordinated black outfits. The family’s stylish monochrome ensemble made for a striking visual, with Deepika’s glowing presence at the centre of it all.

Deepika, who announced her pregnancy in February this year through an Instagram post, has been the subject of much discussion since then. While her announcement was met with an outpouring of love and well-wishes from fans, some netizens have been fixated on the size of her baby bump, leading to unnecessary speculation. However, the actress has chosen to rise above the noise, maintaining her grace and poise in the face of such scrutiny.

As Deepika prepares for the arrival of her first child in September, she has also made significant adjustments to her professional commitments. A source revealed to Times Now that the actress has turned down the opportunity to join the third season of “The White Lotus,” opting instead to focus on her family. “Deepika loves children and is determined to be a hands-on mother. She’s not someone who would rely on nannies; she plans to be fully involved in parenting,” the source added.

On the work front, Deepika was last seen in the much-anticipated film “Kalki 2898 AD,” directed by Nag Ashwin. In the film, she portrayed a pregnant woman, a role that now feels particularly poignant as she awaits the birth of her own child. Deepika is set to return for the second part of the film, though her primary focus remains on her growing family.
