Bollywood star Deepika Padukone is making headlines for her rumored role in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King, though no projects are confirmed. Since the birth of her daughter, Dua, Deepika has been absent from the screen, while Ranveer Singh is busy shooting for his next ventures. On April 30, a viral video showed the power couple partying with Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, in Mumbai. This event has drawn attention against the backdrop of India banning Instagram accounts of Pakistani celebrities, fueling speculation about the timing.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri shared a photo, captioning it, “Met the amazing power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in Bombay, enjoyed fantastic food and great company.” Deepika playfully commented, “What happens in Bombay stays in Bombay!” while Ranveer wrote, “Good times!” The couple’s dinner date saw Deepika in a casual look, her Louis Vuitton shoulder bag worth lakhs stealing the spotlight. Fans are eager to know which film will mark her comeback, with rumors suggesting she may soon start work on Kalki 2. The high-profile meet has sparked curiosity about Bollywood’s growing influence on global tech platforms.

Meanwhile, the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed several innocent lives, has ignited nationwide outrage. In response, the Indian government has taken stringent measures, including banning the Instagram accounts of Pakistani stars like Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar, Sanam Saeed, Bilal Abbas, Iqra Aziz, Ayeza Khan, Imran Abbas, and Sajal Aly. Their content is no longer accessible to Indian audiences, potentially causing significant financial losses. The contrast between these bans and the glitzy Mumbai gathering has stirred public discourse, highlighting tensions and glamour in equal measure.
