Deepika Padukone turned 40 on November 5, 2026. This year, the actress celebrated her birthday in advance with her fans by organising a special meet and greet. Many photos and videos from her pre-birthday celebration have been surfacing on the internet, where fans can be seen interacting with the actress, playing games and clicking pictures. One similar video went viral on the internet, where a fan and his mother also attended the event. The woman got teary-eyed as she got on the stage to give a special gift to the actress and take a picture with her. This sweet gesture by the actress left fans touched as they praised her for creating a warm bond with her admirers.
In the video from Deepika Padukone's 40th birthday, it can be seen that the fan's mother offered Deepika handmade Puran Poli. As she accepted this sweet gift, Deepika asked her to sit with her and pose for a photo. Along with the video, the fan also wrote an extensive paragraph which read, "18.12.2025 Universe, my stars, or my good karma — whatever you call it — Deepika Padukone invited me once again for a very special, intimate meet & greet. This happened for the 4th time, yet jitna mile, utna hamesha kam hi lagta hai."
Recalling his mother's experience of meeting Deepika for the first time, he said, "This time, I took my mom along with me. Staying with me, she also slowly became a fan of Deepika. When I told her that we were going to meet Deepika, she said, “Chal, khota bolu nakos” (Don’t lie), “Evdhya vela bhetalas, mala kadhi nahi nelas”(You met her so many times, but never took me along). But when she actually met Deepika, she was completely stunned.
"She was almost in tears when DP held her hand. She was literally lost in that moment — and when Deepika thanked her for the gift, my mom couldn’t hold back her emotions (My mom had gifted Deepika special handmade Puran Poli)," he stated.
He concluded his post and said, "Thank you for everything, and Happy Birthday @deepikapadukone. This is a moment that my mom and I will never forget."
