Deepika Padukone has a hilarious take on turning 40. Although the actress has already turned 40 this year on 5th January, she has reflected on how she is embracing the major milestone.

Instead of dreading the big 4-0, Deepika Padukone chose to laugh about it, sharing a relatable and funny post with her fans.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Deepika Padukone posted a meme inspired by Friends, capturing the dramatic energy of Ross Geller.

The caption read, “POV: 1986 babies thinking about their 2026 birthday."

Fans loved how openly she embraced the idea of ageing, proving once again that even global stars have the same thoughts as everyone else.

The light-hearted moment comes shortly after Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh made their first public appearance together following reports of an extortion threat.

The couple attended a special event featuring Deepika Padukone’s father, badminton legend Prakash Padukone.

Seated in the audience alongside Ranveer Singh’s mother, Anju Bhavnani, the two looked calm and supportive. Photos from the event showed Ranveer Singh clapping proudly, while Deepika Padukone smiled warmly as her father spoke — a touching family moment that did not go unnoticed.

At the same time, speculation about Deepika Padukone’s international projects continues to build. According to Deccan Chronicle, she is reportedly being considered for The White Lotus season 4. However, nothing has been officially confirmed.

HBO recently announced new additions to the cast, including Helena Bonham Carter and Chris Messina, along with several other well-known names. Filming is expected to take place between April and October 2026.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Deepika Padukone has been linked to the series. Back in 2024, rumours about her joining season 3 surfaced after Ranveer Singh’s mother ‘liked’ a post suggesting her involvement.

When asked about it during the Fighter press conference, director Siddharth Anand playfully said, “Lotus 3… Where’s the space now? Lotus 3 is coming." Deepika Padukone simply laughed, offering no clear answer.

On the work front, Deepika Padukone will next be seen in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan, directed by Siddharth Anand. She is also set to star opposite Allu Arjun in a major project directed by Atlee.
