Deepika Padukone pregnancy and career

Entities: Deepika Padukone · Sun Pictures · Atlee · Allu Arjun · Raaka

Overview

In early July 2026, Deepika Padukone appeared in a Hilton hotel advertisement while four months pregnant, proudly displaying her baby bump and drawing widespread praise on social media. The ad coincided with the public announcement of her second pregnancy and promotion for upcoming film projects, including the Bollywood‑Hollywood crossover *King*.

By mid‑July, now seven months pregnant, Padukone was filming demanding night‑shift action sequences for the sci‑fi fantasy *Raaka* in Mumbai, insisting on an eight‑hour workday and a work‑life balance ahead of her planned maternity leave.

In early August, the *Raaka* production confirmed that Padukone’s schedule had been adjusted so she can wrap her portions by early September, before commencing maternity leave. The makers dismissed speculation that her pregnancy would reduce her role or delay the film, stating that her character remains central and the project stays on track.
