Deepika Padukone, one of Bollywood's most beloved actresses was recently spotted in Mumbai, proudly showing her baby bump. Expecting her first child with husband Ranveer Singh, Deepika exuded a radiant pregnancy glow as she stepped out on Thursday, leaving a modern European restaurant in a vibrant and effortlessly chic outfit.
The actress was captured in an oversized green kurta with big floral prints in shades of pink, purple, and cream. The loose silhouette of the dress provided the comfort she needs during her final trimester, while the bright colors added a refreshing touch to her look. Paired with soft waves in her hair and minimal makeup, Deepika's natural beauty shone through, making her the epitome of maternal elegance.
As she exited the restaurant, Deepika graciously paused to interact with fans, taking a few selfies despite her busy schedule. Her appearance was shared widely on social media, with Viral Bhayani posting a video of her on Instagram.
The post was captioned, "Mumma to be Deepika Padukone flaunting her beautiful baby bump...Wearing extremely comfy yet fashionable outfit as she papped in town." Fans responded warmly, flooding the comments section with love and admiration. One user wrote, "I never saw a pregnant woman like our Queen. Her pregnancy glow is the best ever."
However, amidst the overwhelming positivity, a small section of netizens has engaged in unwarranted speculation, with some even accusing Deepika of faking her pregnancy. True to her nature, the actress has maintained her grace and poise, choosing not to respond to the baseless rumors.
Deepika, who is due in September, has been keeping a low profile recently, avoiding public events and red carpets. According to a report by Times Now, she is determined to be a hands-on mother. A source close to the actress revealed, "Deepika loves children and wants to be there for her baby. She’s not someone who would rely on nannies; she plans to be fully involved in parenting." In line with this, Deepika has reportedly turned down the third season of The White Lotus to focus on her family.
