Bollywood's beloved star couple, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, are ringing in her birthday with intimate celebrations far from home. Currently holidaying in New York City with their families, Ranveer kicked off the festivities for his wife a day early with a heartwarming and homely gesture.
A Taste of Home in the Heart of New York
Ranveer Singh treated the birthday girl to a comforting Indian vegetarian meal at the popular Annapurna Bhavan restaurant, located in Hell’s Kitchen near Times Square. The eatery is renowned for its authentic South Indian cuisine, offering the couple a perfect slice of home during their extended festive season stay abroad. This pre-birthday dinner set a cozy and personal tone for Deepika's special day.
Photos from the evening, which quickly circulated online, captured the couple's joyful spirit. Deepika was seen warmly hugging Ranveer as they posed happily with the restaurant's staff after their meal. The delighted team also got the couple to sign their menu card, a memento they proudly showcased on their social media handles.
Celebrations Spanning Continents
This New York celebration follows closely on the heels of Deepika's pre-birthday fan event in Mumbai. Just before flying out, the actress hosted an intimate gathering for her fans, where she opened up candidly about her life, experiences with motherhood, and her upcoming film projects. The couple has been making the most of their time in the Big Apple, having been spotted at various local pubs, Christmas markets, and restaurants throughout the holiday season. They famously rang in the New Year 2024 together at a popular spot, with videos of their midnight kiss capturing fans' hearts worldwide.
Annapurna Bhavan expressed their excitement on social media, posting: “It was a pleasure serving Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh today. Thank you for the ‘loads of love’ and for being such wonderful guests. Our kitchen is still buzzing from the excitement!”
On the Professional Front
While celebrating personally, both stars have major professional milestones on the horizon. Ranveer Singh is riding high on the colossal success of his recent film 'Dhurandhar', which has stormed past the Rs 1,200 crore mark at the global box office. The anticipation for its sequel, expected to release in March, is already building.
Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone has a powerhouse line-up awaiting release. She stars next in the much-anticipated film 'King' alongside Shah Rukh Khan, which is gearing up for a big theatrical release in 2026. Additionally, she has a sci-fi project in the works with director Altee, keeping her schedule packed in the coming years.
