The dinner was also attended by Ranveer’s family. Deepika’s father, Prakash Padukone, has been a key mentor and coach to Lakshya Sen. During his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sen revealed a unique strategy employed by his coach, Prakash Padukone, to help him stay focused during the Games. "Prakash Sir had taken away my phone during the matches, saying I wouldn’t get it back until the competition was over," Sen explained.
Sen’s Olympic journey was marked by both triumph and heartbreak. He made history as the first Indian shuttler to reach the semifinals in men's badminton at the Olympics. With notable victories over top players like Jonatan Christie of Indonesia and HS Prannoy, Sen’s path to the semifinals was filled with impressive achievements. Despite his stunning win against Chou Tien-chen in the quarterfinals, he narrowly missed out on a medal after losing to world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are expecting their first child, with the couple announcing the news on Instagram on February 29. They shared that the baby is due in September.
In her recent work, Deepika Padukone starred in Kalki 2898 - AD alongside Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. She will appear in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again and the Hindi remake of The Intern, where she will also work with Amitabh Bachchan. Earlier this year, she was seen in Fighter with Hrithik Roshan.
