Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is expecting her first child with actor-husband Ranveer Singh. Amid her pregnancy, the actress is also making sure to abide by her work commitments. Recently, a series of commercial photoshoots for a high-end jewellery brand featuring the actress went viral on social media. Deepika found the right balance between elegance and charm with her million dollar smile, while flaunting her baby bump.

Have a look at the photos:

Right from embracing power dressing in smart casuals to donning dresses, Deepika looked effortlessly glam. She radiated her pregnancy glow, as the shutterbugs captured her.

Deepika was recently trolled when she stepped out to cast her vote, where a section of netizens called her baby bump ‘fake’. The actress then gave a witty reply to the trolls with a bundle of happy photos, in a bright yellow maxi dress, flaunting her baby bump. The actress also made a strong case for maternity fashion. She was a complete vision to behold and looked breathtaking from every angle.

Amid the ongoing trolling of the actress on social media, a senior journalist, Faye D’Souza, penned a strongly-worded post on her official Instagram account and showed her solidarity with Deepika.

In her post, Faye wrote, “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.” Alia was quick to like the post. In fact, Alia’s sisters, Pooja Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, and her mother, Soni Razdan, liked the post too.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika is working through her pregnancy. The actress is currently shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. In the film, she will be playing the role of a ruthless police officer. Besides this, Deepika will also be seen in Kalki 2898 AD in which she will be sharing the screen with Jr NTR and Amitabh Bachchan.

Legendary French luxury-goods conglomerate Cartier has unveiled its new Nature Sauvage High Jewellery collection and, as part of its promotions, released a new advertisement featuring Bollywood icon Deepika Padukone. In the commercial, she appears radiant and elegant in five different outfits of varied shades, each adorned with Cartier jewellery inspired by various animals.

Despite being only 15 seconds long, the commercial has gone viral on social media, with many praising the Fighter actor’s stunning appearance and the way she exudes charm wearing the ornaments. Soon after the commercial appeared on Reddit, numerous fans flocked to the comment section to commend the actor for effortlessly showcasing the pieces.

One user noted that an Indian remake of the 2015 American comedy-drama The Intern, with Deepika reprising the lead character originally played by Anne Hathaway, would be a good idea as she looks so powerful in suits. “DP > diamond jewellery,” one Redditor wrote, while another mentioned, “She looks gorgeous. Mother mothering.”

The brand’s global ambassador since mid-last year, Padukone recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar India about the new collection. “DP > diamond jewellery,” one Redditor wrote, while another one mentioned, “She looks gorgeous. Mother mothering.”

The brand’s global ambassador since October, 2022, Padukone recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar India about the new collection. “The collection presents a theatre of apparitions, where precious animals are parading. It is almost as if the different animal characters in the collection are the actors of the collection, playing with graphics and optical illusions in an imaginary world,” she said.

“It reveals a variety of animals from Cartier’s previous collections, but I didn’t discover (them) before. One of the pendants can be transformed into a turtle brooch. It is very playful; the pieces have some incredible craftsmanship and exceptional stones,” she mentioned.

“My favourite piece is the Koaga necklace, inspired by the zebra. The zebra really comes to life by the stylised lines of the design and the black and white are contrasted by an impressive pear-shaped rubellite,” Padukone added.
