In a heartwarming display of spousal support, Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone turned a fan celebration for herself into a platform to champion her husband Ranveer Singh's monumental success. During an intimate pre-birthday gathering with her admirers, the actress enthusiastically shifted the spotlight to Singh's recent cinematic triumph, the blockbuster 'Dhurandhar'. The candid moment, captured on video, has since taken the internet by storm, showcasing the couple's mutual admiration.
A Viral Moment of Wifely Pride
The interaction took a delightful turn when Deepika, in a cheerful and open mood during a Q&A session, directly asked her fans, “How many of you watched ‘Dhurandhar’?” The room erupted in loud cheers and applause. An elated Padukone raised both hands in victory, adding a playful hair flip to her celebration. When the host humorously noted they weren't expecting to discuss other films, Deepika was quick to retort with a smile, “It’s all in the family,” emphasizing the close-knit nature of their professional and personal lives.
Sequel Announcement and Box Office Dominance
The excitement escalated as fans expressed their love for the film and their anticipation for a sequel. To a resounding “Yes!” from the crowd, Deepika stepped in to provide a crucial update. Countering a hint that the wait might be long, she clarified, “It’s March! It’s already announced.” This confirms the official timeline for 'Dhurandhar Part 2'. The original film, released on December 5, has been a box office juggernaut. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, after one month in theatres, it amassed approximately ₹772.25 crore in net collections in India. Its India gross stands at around ₹925.5 crore, with overseas markets adding roughly ₹275 crore. This brings the film's current global earnings to an estimated ₹1,201.5 crore.
Deepika's Consistent Support for Ranveer's Project
This public endorsement is not the first time Deepika has praised 'Dhurandhar'. Following its release in December, she took to Instagram to laud Ranveer Singh's performance. Her post read, “Dhurandhar has been watched, and it is worth every minute of those 3.34 hours. So do yourself a favour and get to a cinema hall NOW! So incredibly proud of you @ranveersingh! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew.” Her actions at the fan event perfectly mirror this earlier sentiment, proving her to be Ranveer Singh's biggest cheerleader both online and offline.
The event, meant to celebrate Deepika Padukone's birthday with fans, ultimately became a testament to the power couple's united front and the staggering success of 'Dhurandhar'. With the sequel now confirmed for March, the frenzy surrounding the franchise is set to continue, fueled in part by the genuine and viral enthusiasm of one of Bollywood's most beloved stars.
