In recent months, speculation has been growing about whether Deepika Padukone’s career in Bollywood is coming to an end. Since the birth of her daughter, Deepika’s presence on the big screen has noticeably reduced, leading to gossip about her professional slowdown. Adding fuel to the fire, her reported fallout with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has created a wave of industry chatter, with several Bollywood figures allegedly turning against her.
The conversation intensified when Deepika opted out of The Intern, the Hindi remake starring Amitabh Bachchan. This decision further sparked rumors that she might be stepping back from the limelight.
However, looking at the bigger picture, Deepika is still one of Bollywood’s most bankable and influential actresses. She has two massive projects lined up — the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD and a big-budget film alongside Allu Arjun. Both films are expected to be high-profile releases, and their success could easily silence critics and prove that her career is far from over.
In an industry where rumors spread faster than facts, Deepika’s situation serves as a reminder that a temporary pause or selective project choices should not be mistaken for the end of a star’s career. With the right projects, she has every chance to make a strong comeback and reaffirm her position as one of Bollywood’s leading ladies.
