Deepika Padukone has returned to Mumbai after completing a major shooting schedule of her upcoming film King, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan. The actress, who is currently expecting her second child, was spotted at Mumbai airport in the early hours of Thursday, looking cheerful as she greeted paparazzi with a bright smile. Interestingly, she was seen wearing the same cobalt blue co-ord set she had been spotted in while departing India on April 28.
In the airport visuals, Deepika kept her travel look stylish yet comfortable, pairing an oversized cobalt blue outfit with sunglasses and striking yellow sneakers. Despite the long international shoot schedule in Cape Town, she appeared relaxed and happy, acknowledging photographers with a warm smile. Reports suggest she had been filming key portions of King in South Africa, including a major romantic sequence with Shah Rukh Khan that recently went viral through leaked behind-the-scenes clips.
The circulating BTS footage from the Cape Town schedule shows the pair shooting emotional and romantic scenes, with Shah Rukh Khan reportedly being attentive toward Deepika between takes, ensuring her comfort during the physically demanding shoot. Despite her pregnancy, Deepika has continued to balance her professional commitments, showcasing her dedication to the project and her craft. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Gauri Khan, along with Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
King features a star-studded ensemble cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan, and Jaideep Ahlawat, and is currently slated for a Christmas 2026 theatrical release. The action thriller has already generated strong buzz due to its casting and scale, making it one of the most anticipated films of the year.
On the personal front, Deepika and her husband Ranveer Singh recently announced that they are expecting their second child. The couple shared the joyful news through a heartfelt social media post featuring their daughter Dua holding a pregnancy test kit. Deepika and Ranveer, who married in November 2018 at Lake Como in Italy, first met and fell in love during the filming of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, later collaborating in films like Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat.
