Mumbai: Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone was spotted enjoying a warm and joyful evening in Mumbai, as she dined with her husband Ranveer Singh’s family and Indian Olympian badminton player Lakshya Sen.
The Tuesday evening was made even more special when Deepika was seen sharing a heartfelt hug with Lakshya Sen outside the restaurant where they had their meal.
Deepika, who is due to welcome her first child in September, looked radiant in a black bodycon dress, paired with an oversized black blazer. Her long wavy hair cascaded freely, and she accessorized with a black handbag, epitomizing effortless elegance.
During the outing, Lakshya Sen was also seen with Ranveer’s sister having a warm conversation.
