Deepika Padukone, who has made her international presence stronger in the last couple of years, will reportedly skip Met Gala 2024. A source close to the development revealed, Deepika will give the fashion extravaganza a miss due to her work commitments. A highly-placed source (as quoted by Pinkvilla) revealed, "Deepika Padukone has been a regular on the Met Gala Red Carpet. It is only natural for fans to anticipate her appearance at this year's Met Gala, especially considering she is one of India's biggest global brand ambassadors. However, Deepika is in the midst of filming for Singham 3 which is slated to release later this year along with Kalki 2898 AD which is slated to release in May, both of which coincide with this year's Met Gala. She will therefore not be attending this year's event."
On the personal front, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are expecting their first baby. The couple shared a simple post with the due date - September 2024 - and baby-related icons at the end of February. Take a look:
