Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has recently made a surprising move by stepping into the world of gaming. The actress, who is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming action spectacle 'Singham Again', announced her collaboration with the gaming brand BGMI.

The Indian gaming industry, which stands at a staggering US$740 million with more than 300 million gamers, is one of the top five mobile gaming markets in the world as of 2021. This collaboration signals a new dawn for the superstar who is basking in the success of her recent hits like 'Pathaan', 'Jawan', and 'Kalki 2898 AD'.

Deepika's Instagram post read, "The wait is over, Gamers! I'm super excited to reveal my collaboration with BGMI! Step into the battlegrounds with exclusive Deepika Padukone-themed outfits, skins, and surprises! Ready to dominate in style? Then get ready to #SlayTheGame".

The announcement has created a buzz in the gaming community, with fans eagerly waiting to experience the exclusive Deepika Padukone-themed outfits, skins, and surprises in the game.

Deepika's Personal Milestones

However, it's not just her professional life that's been making headlines. On the personal front, Deepika welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with her husband Ranveer Singh last month. The couple, who got married in a private and intimate ceremony at Lake Como in November 2018, announced her pregnancy in February 2024 with an Instagram post.

The post read, "September 2024" with cute motifs of baby clothes, baby shoes, and balloons. This marked a significant milestone in their personal lives, adding to their joy amidst her professional successes.

Deepika and Ranveer's journey as a couple has been nothing short of a fairy tale. They first met on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic drama film 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela' and later also starred in 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Padmaavat'. Their chemistry on and off-screen has been the talk of the town ever since.

In the upcoming Rohit Shetty directorial 'Singham Again', both Deepika and Ranveer will be seen sharing the screen. While Deepika is a new entrant into Shetty's cop universe, Ranveer will be seen in a cameo avatar as Simmba. This is not the first time the couple will be seen together on screen, but it is certainly a much-anticipated event for their fans.

Deepika's Journey into Motherhood

Deepika's journey into motherhood has been closely followed by her fans and the media. Despite the quiet departure from the hospital after the birth of her daughter, a few videos captured glimpses of the newborn as the couple drove away in their luxurious Mercedes-Maybachs.

In another update, Deepika changed her Instagram bio to reflect her new role as a mother. Previously reading Follow Your Bliss, her bio now states, "Feed. Burp. Sleep. Repeat." This change highlights her shift in focus towards her newborn, as she opts to take a hands-on approach in caring for her daughter, reportedly choosing to forgo a nanny.

Deepika's collaboration with the gaming brand and her recent entry into motherhood are significant events in her life. They not only mark new beginnings but also reflect her versatility as an individual who can seamlessly transition between different roles - be it as an actress, a gaming icon, or a mother.

As she continues to break new ground in her professional and personal life, her fans eagerly await her next move 'Singham Again'.
