In a heartwarming sight, parents-to-be Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were seen at a Mumbai polling station on Monday morning to cast their votes during the 5th phase of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The couple, dressed in matching white shirts and light blue jeans, made a stylish appearance as they fulfilled their civic duty. Deepika, whose baby bump was subtly visible beneath her loose shirt, held Ranveer’s hand tightly as they walked towards the voting booth.
This public appearance comes after the couple was spotted in Mumbai a few weeks ago, sparking widespread interest on social media. Several videos captured their outing, but not all interactions were welcomed by the soon-to-be parents. In one particular clip that went viral, Deepika can be seen shielding herself from the camera, signaling her desire for privacy. The video, shared by a paparazzo account on Instagram, was captioned, “Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in a mischievous mood with fans as they get clicked in Mumbai recently.”
However, the video did not sit well with many fans who voiced their concerns in the comments section, urging the paparazzi to respect the couple’s privacy. One fan wrote, “Why are you posting it when we see that she doesn’t want to be photographed?” Another commented, “DP (Deepika Padukone) doesn’t seem happy to be papped! Respect her privacy!” A third added, “Leave her alone during pregnancy. It’s her wish to get photographed or not.”
Despite the mixed reactions online, Deepika and Ranveer’s recent appearance at the polling station highlights their commitment to participating in the democratic process, even as they prepare for the arrival of their first child.
