Deepika Padukone Birthday Blowout: Flies 50 Fans to Mumbai and Gifting Luxury Hampers

New Delhi, january 05, 2026: Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone celebrated her 40th birthday on January 5, 2026, in a way that has left the internet in awe. While she is currently spending time with husband Ranveer Singh and family in New York, details from a “secret” pre-birthday fan meet held in Mumbai have surfaced, showcasing her legendary generosity.

The event, titled “A Day of Gratitude,” was an intimate gathering where Deepika went above and beyond to honor the people she calls her “biggest strength.”

The Ultimate Gift: Flights and Luxury Hampers

Deepika didn’t just invite her fans; she ensured they got there in style. Reportedly, the actor personally paid for the round-trip flight tickets of over 50 fans who traveled from various parts of India to attend the Mumbai meet.

Once they arrived, the pampering continued:

• Gourmet Experience: Fans were treated to a top-tier lunch featuring Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines.
• Exclusive Hampers: Each attendee received a massive 5 kg gift hamper valued at approximately ₹15,000, filled with luxury goodies and personal favorites of the star.
• Dream Come True: In a viral moment from the event, one fan mentioned their dream was to visit Paris. Moving beyond just a “thank you,” Deepika’s team reportedly took the fan’s details to help make that dream a reality.

Flexing Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ Success

While the day was about her, Deepika couldn’t help but celebrate her husband’s massive professional milestone. Ranveer Singh’s latest espionage thriller, Dhurandhar, has become a historic blockbuster, recently crossing the ₹1,200 crore mark at the global box office.

During the fan meet, when asked about the film’s “victory,” Deepika flashed a proud smile, flexed her muscles, and playfully flipped her hair. When fans joked about the film’s dominance, she laughed and said, “It’s all in the family, guys,” signaling her immense pride in Ranveer’s record-breaking streak.

Motherhood and the 2026 Comeback

The interaction also got deeply personal. Deepika, who recently welcomed her daughter Dua, spoke candidly about the challenges of motherhood. She revealed that she is a very “hands-on” mother and prefers to do everything for her daughter herself despite having professional help.

The most exciting news for cinephiles? The actor confirmed she is ready for a full-fledged cinematic comeback starting in 2026, with major projects like King (opposite Shah Rukh Khan) and Atlee’s next venture on the horizon.
