Actor and host Karan Patel shared a seemingly shady Instagram story directed toward India’s win in the T20 World Cup, Deepika Padukone’s baby bump and the General Elections.

The actor took to his social media and wrote, “Ok, so now that the general elections are over, India has won the T20 world cup, Deepika Padukone’s Cutest Baby Bump has also been revealed, Congratulations to the new mommy and daddy. Now, can we get back to work please, and let me know if anyone’s casting.”
A few weeks ago, Deepika captured everyone's attention when she appeared at a pre-release event in Mumbai for the Hindu mythology based science fiction adaptation film, 'Kalki 2898 AD.' She proudly showcased her baby bump in a sleek, black, figure-hugging dress. Prior to the event, she posted pictures of her outfit on social media with the caption, 'Okay enough…Now I’m hungry!' Deepika and Ranveer Singh had joyfully announced their pregnancy in a joint Instagram post on February 29, 2024.
This is not the first time an actor has asked for work online. Renowned actress Neena Gupta also took to her X account in 2017 and wrote, "I live in mumbai and i am working and i am a good actress koee kam hai toe batao."

Meanwhile, Karan Patel has made his mark in the television industry, having acted in numerous serials and participated in reality shows such as 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' in 2013 and 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10' in 2020, where he finished as the runner-up. His most recent appearance was in 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2,' which concluded in October 2020.
Deepika's portrayal of Sumathi in 'Kalki 2898 AD' is garnering widespread acclaim. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this film also features Prabhas as Bhairava, a bounty hunter, and Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Aswatthama. Since its release on June 27, the movie has amassed an impressive Rs 302.4 crore nett in India across all language versions.
