Deepika Padukone's stylist shares insights into actress's bold fashion choices and hairstyles
Deepika Padukone is known for her elegant looks and her signature sleek hair bun. But according to her longtime stylist, Shaleena Nathani, the hairstyle is not always a go-to. Instead, it depends on the entire outfit. Truth behind the sleek hairdo In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Shaleena explained that the sleek bun is chosen only when it fits the overall look. 'It's not something we force,' she said. 'She has such a beautiful face, so what better way to highlight it?' Shaleena added that while Deepika has gorgeous hair and can leave it open, sometimes the hairstyle just doesn't suit the outfit. When Deepika chopped her hair, many thought she would stop doing the sleek bun. But that didn't stop her or the team. They went ahead with the look anyway. 'I don't know why people have a problem with the sticky bun. I think it's fantastic,' Shaleena said. Deepika hates wearing this one color When asked if Deepika has any strict fashion rules, Shaleena revealed one thing the actress usually avoids—yellow. 'We thought maybe if Sabyasachi designed a yellow outfit, she would wear it. And she did, but she accused us of doing it on purpose!' Shaleena laughed. She explained that if the shade is right, yellow can actually look great on Deepika. Watch the full conversation here: Open to experiments Deepika is always open to trying new styles. 'She never says no unless she wears something and it turns out to be a disaster,' Shaleena shared. That's when they all agree to drop the look. Ranveer Singh's influence When asked about Ranveer Singh 's impact on Deepika's fashion sense, Shaleena admitted that he may have had some influence. 'Sometimes she says, 'This is inspired by my husband' or 'We're doing more bright colors now.'' Shaleena also praised Ranveer for his bold fashion sense. 'No one can carry clothes the way he does,' she said. Chhapaak promotions and personal style During promotions for Chhapaak, Deepika chose simple and comfortable outfits. Shaleena said the goal was to reflect authenticity and support the film's message of inclusivity. 'She didn't want to feel pressured. She just wanted to be herself,' she said. Getting ready for Cannes and the Met Gala When it comes to international events like Cannes or the Met Gala, Deepika and her team start prepping months in advance. 'Nothing is left for the last minute,' Shaleena said. She praised Deepika for being organized and involved in every step of the process.

Hrithik Roshan Joins Forces With Hombale Films, Dipika Kakar Diagnosed With Liver Cancer
Last Updated: Hrithik Roshan teams up with Hombale Films. Dipika Kakar diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Deepika Padukone replaced in Spirit. Hrithik Roshan has teamed up with Hombale Films for a new movie that's already got fans excited. The makers say the film will be filled with strength, big visuals, and powerful moments. They've promised a mix of strong emotions and fresh, creative storytelling. TV actress Dipika Kakar has shared a sad and emotional update with her fans — she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Best known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, Dipika posted the news on Instagram, revealing that it all started with severe stomach pain. When she went to the doctor, they found a tumour in her liver, about the size of a tennis ball. Tests later confirmed it was cancer. Deepika Padukone is once again making headlines, this time over rumours that she was dropped from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next film, Spirit. Reports suggest that Deepika was replaced after she allegedly asked for a higher fee and wanted to work only 8 hours a day. In contrast, Triptii Dimri was brought in for the role at a lower fee. In the middle of all this, an old clip from the promotions of Chhapaak (2020) has gone viral again. In the video, Deepika, who also produced the film, firmly addressed rumours that her husband Ranveer Singh was funding her projects. 'Excuse me, yeh mere khud ke paise hain. Kisne bola yeh? Yeh meri khud ki mehnat hai," she said. Read story here: Tamannaah Blames Instagram For 'Liking' Deepika Clip, Fans Recall Virat Kohli-Avneet Kaur Row Just days after singer Kenishaa Francis filed a legal complaint over the online abuse and defamation she faced regarding actor Ravi Mohan's separation from his wife, there's a new twist in the story. Ravi Mohan has now taken legal action himself — this time against his wife Aarti Ravi and mother-in-law Sujatha Vijaykumar. According to reports, the actor has sent them a legal notice over their social media posts, which he claims have been defamatory and caused serious harm to his reputation. Kannappa is turning out to be one of the biggest films to look forward to, with a massive star cast and a grand scale. Vishnu Manchu, who plays the lead role, recently revealed a heartwarming detail about the film's making. Big stars like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar are part of the project. He said that Prabhas and Mohanlal didn't charge a single penny from him for their role in the film. These were the newsmakers of the day. First Published: May 28, 2025, 21:46 IST

Tamannaah Bhatia blames Instagram algorithm for liking Deepika Padukone's post amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row
The alleged spat between actor Deepika Padukone and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga over his Spirit has sparked a series of cryptic exchanges between the duo. However, neither of them has explicitly called out each other's name in public, but Deepika's exit from the film has sparked a buzz online. Amid the ongoing row, actor Tamannaah Bhatia, subtly and cryptically, came in support of Deepika by liking an Instagram reel of Padukone from the promotions of her 2020 film Chhapaak, which she now blames on the mistake of the Instagram algorithm. The video featuring Deepika clapping back at a journalist who stated that her husband Ranveer Singh's money was also invested in the film is now doing the rounds on social media. On Wednesday, netizens noticed that the Lust Stories 2 actress liked the post, leaving netizens speculating about her support for Deepika. Tamannaah Bhatia blames the Instagram algorithm amid an ongoing row The video that Bhatia liked on Instagram highlighted the key issues that women stand against, including gender pay gaps, working overtime, unprofessionalism and misogyny, leaving the internet confused. However, the actress has now shared another post on her Instagram story claiming that she did not 'like' the post, but it was the algorithm that did it on its own. 'Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own? cause random people are making this news and I really have work to do,' shared the Stree 2 actress. Not the first time the Instagram algorithm sparked confusion Tamannaah Bhatia is not the celebrity who fell prey to the algorithm. Earlier this year, cricketer Virat Kohli also blamed an algorithm when fans noticed he liked a post of social media influencer and actor Avneet Kaur. After the incident, Virat Kohli issued a statement that read, 'I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.' Know about Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Deepika Padukone's controversy The controversy between director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Deepika Padukone started after Vanga shared a post on his X (formerly called Twitter), where he shared a note that spoke about the dirty PR games being played by an unnamed actor. When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for ?
