Who is Deepika Padukone’s childhood best friend? Actress keeps her promise made to her bestie. Meet New York–based Sneha Ramachander

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh recently made a quiet trip to New York, but it didn’t take long for the internet to notice.

In the pictures, Deepika was seen sitting beside the bride, sparking curiosity among fans about the woman who clearly holds a special place in her life.

That bride is Sneha Ramachander, Deepika Padukone’s childhood best friend. The wedding, held in New York, was an intimate affair attended by close friends and family. While Ranveer Singh was also present for the celebrations, it was Deepika’s role as a bridesmaid that truly stood out. From pre-wedding events to the main ceremony, she was seen supporting Sneha every step of the way. It shows how some friendships remain unchanged despite fame and time.

For the unversed, Sneha Ramachander is a New York–based actress, television anchor and advertising executive. She has appeared in the 2017 film Mirror Game, which is currently streaming on Netflix, and also featured in the short film India Calling, released in 2015. While she has largely stayed away from the limelight compared to her superstar friend, Sneha has carved her own professional path in the US.



What makes their bond special is its longevity. Sneha, Deepika and another close friend, Divya Narayan, have been inseparable since their teenage years. Over the years, Deepika has often shared glimpses of this friendship on social media, throwback pictures from their good ol' days, childhood memories of eating curd rice together, and more moments like travelling abroad or attending concerts, including a U2 show. These posts have repeatedly shown a side of Deepika that fans relate to: grounded, loyal and deeply connected to her roots.

Interestingly, Deepika has even played stylist for her friends on occasion, something she has fondly mentioned in past posts. At Sneha’s wedding, however, she stepped into an even more meaningful role.

Sneha Ramachander tied the knot with Chris Rossi, who also shared a picture from the wedding featuring Deepika Padukone. Throughout the celebrations, Deepika was seen participating in both formal rituals and celebratory moments, while Ranveer Singh was spotted mingling with guests and enjoying the festivities.
