Deepika Padukone Heats Up Bazaar Shoot With Effortless Glam and Straight Talk

Deepika Padukone is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just her striking Bazaar photoshoot grabbing attention. In her candid conversation with the magazine, she revisited her long-standing stance on maintaining an 8-hour work shift—something she has stuck to even when it meant walking away from major projects. According to her, people often confuse burnout with dedication, and she’s determined to keep calling it out.

The cover shoot captures Deepika in a mood that’s both minimal and magnetic. One standout look features her in a monochrome mini outfit, a simple black-and-white combination that highlights her tall frame and clean aesthetic. It’s effortless yet bold exactly the kind of understated drama she’s known for pulling off with ease.

Another look softens the vibe: a cozy winter sweater with white and brown sleeves, paired with oversized gold earrings that instantly draw the eye. Her signature winged eyeliner and calm, unshaken gaze add to the quiet confidence she brings into every frame. No theatrics just presence.

Recently, Deepika found herself in the middle of unnecessary trolling for wearing a hijab in a travel commercial shot in Abu Dhabi. Despite the noise, she hasn’t let the chatter derail her focus.

On the work front, she’s keeping things busy and balanced. She is currently shooting for Allu Arjun’s big project AA22XA6 , and preparations are underway for King alongside Shah Rukh Khan one of the most anticipated collaborations of the coming year.

With her grounded mindset, bold fashion choices, and a schedule packed with high-profile films, Deepika proves once again that she knows exactly how to hold the spotlight on her own terms.
