Dips, who is due to welcome her first child in September, looked radiant in a black bodycon dress, paired with an oversized matching blazer.
Lakshya recently made headlines for his remarkable performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he reached the semi-finals but ultimately fell to Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in the bronze medal match.
Ranveer had supported him and posted on social media at the time: ‘What a player! What endurance, what agility, what a range of shots, what focus, what grit, what smarts. Scintillating badminton on display! It’s difficult to encapsulate just how brilliant he’s been at the Olympics. Missed out narrowly in a game of extremely small margins. But he’s only 22 and he is just getting started.’
Deepika’s father Prakash Padukone, the first Indian to win the All England badminton title, was a key mentor for the Indian badminton contingent at the Olympics.
