Deepika Padukone is currently preparing for the release of her upcoming film Fighter, which also features Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, and Karan Singh Grover. The first song from the movie, Sher Khul Gaye, is set to be released tomorrow. Prior to its launch, Deepika, accompanied by her sister Anisha Padukone, made a brief visit to the Tirumala temple in Andhra Pradesh this evening.
Deepika Padukone and Anisha Padukone pray at the Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh
This Thursday, Deepika Padukone, accompanied by her sister Anisha Padukone, visited the Tirumala temple to offer their prayers to Lord Venkateswara. Accompanied by robust security, the sisters made a brief yet solemn visit to the sacred site. Before stepping onto the temple grounds, they chose to walk barefoot – a humble gesture before the divine deity. Keeping it simple and comfortable, both sisters wore pullovers with leggings. Deepika opted for an all-black ensemble, while Anisha chose a combination of orange and black for her attire.
Take a look:
Nestled in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Tirupati is renowned for hosting the revered Lord Venkateshwara Temple, standing as a prominent pilgrimage destination globally. Known interchangeably as Tirumala Temple, Tirupati Temple, and Tirupati Balaji Temple, it claims a position among the world’s most affluent religious sanctuaries.
Perched atop Tirumala, one of the seven hills that grace Tirupati, the primary temple is believed to be the manifestation site of Lord Venkateshwara in the form of an idol. This sacred abode is dedicated to the worship of the deity Govinda. With its roots tracing back to ancient times, Tirupati holds significance in numerous venerable Vedas and Puranas, solidifying its place as a city steeped in spiritual history.
The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani star is more than just an occasional visitor to the temple; she’s a steadfast devotee. Whether it’s celebrating her father’s birthday, marking a wedding anniversary, launching a new movie, or just seeking blessings, she makes regular and meaningful trips to Tirumala. Let’s take a look at her visits to Tirumala over the past few years:
Deepika Padukone’s work front
Padukone has certainly enjoyed a phenomenal year. It started with her stellar performance in Pathaan, a blockbuster that featured heavyweights Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. The year continued to be a highlight reel for her as she took the stage at the Oscars, making the country proud. Beyond the silver screen, Deepika also secured partnerships with prestigious international brands, solidifying her global presence.
Jawan added another feather to her cap, with her impactful extended cameo becoming the talk of the town alongside SRK.
Looking ahead, the actress is gearing up to portray Squadron Leader Minal Rathore in the upcoming film Fighter. It marked her first on-screen collaboration with Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie’s teaser received an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.
She is also set to don the role of cop Shakti Shetty in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, a star-studded affair featuring Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Additionally, the diva is slated to appear in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, sharing the screen with Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan.
She also has The Intern on the horizon which will probably go on floors next year according to reports.
