Deepika Padukone at an award show in Mumbai.
New Delhi:
Actress Deepika Padukone posted a picture of a gift she received recently, presumably one of several tokens she appears to have been given after her new film "Padmaavat" released. The actress revealed nothing in her Instagram post - not what the gift was (it looks like a dark gold sari) nor who it came from. Deepika captioned her post simply '#guesswho?' - so her followers did. The verdict was - actress Rekha, possibly on the strength that it seems to be a sari of the sort Rekha would pick and because she's believed to have gifted Deepika Padukone a sari once before this. Guesses on Deepika's post read: "Rekha ji" I guess..."love her" and "It's a sari and it's definitely given by Rekha ji."
Deepika Padukone's post:
Social media probably guessed right. Indian Express quotes a source as saying, "Deepika was elated to receive a handwritten note along with a gift from Rekha ji. It was a heart touching letter from the veteran actress who expressed her awe and appreciation towards Deepika's performance in "Padmaavat".
Rekha, who watched a special screening of "Padmaavat" recently, is also reported to have given Deepika Padukone this pink sari that she wore to a friend's wedding some months ago and then again to a "Padmaavat" event.
"Padmaavat" is speeding ahead at the box office and while reviews of the film have verged on unimpressed, critics agree that Deepika's performance as Rani Padmavati is to die for.
After the film opened two weeks ago, Deepika also got flowers and a note from ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor's parents Neetu and Rishi Kapoor. "Excellent work. So very proud of you... Love Neetu and Rishi Kapoor," the handwritten note read. Deepika shared a picture of the bouquet and card on Instagram and captioned it: "It was so lovely seeing both of you yesterday. Thank you, for all the love and appreciation."
And this is what Deepika got from Amitabh Bachchan, her co-star from the film Piku.
Wonder when we are going to spot Deepika Padukone in her new sari. She's been wearing a whole bunch of saris recently so hopefully soon.
