Mumbai: Bollywood’s beloved power couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, made a head-turning appearance at the Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at their residence, Antilia, on Wednesday, August 28. In one of their first public sightings since the birth of their daughter, Dua, last year, the couple radiated elegance in complementing ethnic ensembles.
Videos and pictures from the puja went viral on social media, showing the couple offering prayers and enjoying the festivities. The couple also posed for a picture with singer Harshdeep Kaur and her husband, Mankeet Singh, who shared the moment on Instagram.
A return to the classic ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ look
While Deepika’s grace was admired, it was Ranveer’s striking transformation that stole the spotlight. The actor, who had been sporting a heavy beard and long hair for his upcoming film Dhurandhar, appeared in a clean-shaven look that reminded fans of his earlier, classic movie appearances.
- Deepika’s ensemble:Â The actress looked resplendent in a golden-brown embellished anarkali kurta and pant set. Her festive look was completed with a neat bun, matching kadas, statement rings, traditional jhumkas, and smoky eye makeup.
- Ranveer’s matching outfit:Â Twinning with his wife, Ranveer wore a mustard-colored kurta set featuring intricate embroidery and brocade panels, which perfectly complemented Deepika’s outfit.
A much-anticipated public appearance
Fans were delighted to see the couple together, especially after they have maintained a low public profile since welcoming their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, on September 8, 2024. The couple, who are fiercely protective of their daughter’s privacy, made a conscious decision to keep her away from the public eye.
This festive outing follows a recent incident where a video of their daughter was leaked online without their consent, sparking outrage among fans who came to the couple’s defense. The celebratory appearance was a breath of fresh air for fans who had been missing the couple’s coordinated public outings.
The festive season seems to have marked a joyous return to the public eye for Deepika and Ranveer, as they celebrate the arrival of Lord Ganesha and continue to embrace the joys of parenthood.
