Deepika Padukone marked her 40th birthday with a special fan celebration in Mumbai and is now enjoying a New Year getaway in New York with Ranveer Singh.
Deepika Padukone marks a milestone as she turns 40 on January 5, 2026, and moments from a heartfelt celebration with her fans have now taken over social media. While the actress is currently enjoying a quiet birthday getaway in New York with husband Ranveer Singh and close family members, it was her earlier gesture for fans that truly captured attention.
Ahead of her birthday, Deepika hosted an intimate yet grand fan gathering in Mumbai last month as a way to personally thank those who have supported her journey over the years. The celebration took place on December 18, 2025, at the Mahalaxmi Race Course, where fans from different parts of the country were invited to spend a special day with the actress.
As visuals from the event began circulating online, fans were seen sharing moments that reflected warmth, gratitude, and genuine connection. Deepika personally met attendees, posed for pictures, and spent time interacting with them in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. One of the most talked about moments from the event was when she cut a large chocolate cake while fans sang for her, creating an emotional and memorable scene.
For the celebration, Deepika chose a simple yet elegant look, wearing a plum toned sweater paired with matching trousers, keeping her style understated and graceful. The venue was beautifully arranged, with thoughtful decorations and a well planned spread of food, glimpses of which were also shared online by attendees and later discussed on Reddit.
The event was titled A Day of Gratitude with Deepika Padukone, perfectly reflecting the purpose behind the gathering. Rather than a traditional celebrity event, it felt more like a personal thank you from an actor to the people who have stood by her through every phase of her career.

Shortly after the fan celebration, Deepika and Ranveer travelled to the United States for their year end break. The couple welcomed Christmas and New Year 2026 in New York, and their holiday pictures quickly became a talking point online. They were also spotted enjoying an NBA match at Madison Square Garden, watching the New York Knicks take on the Atlanta Hawks.
During the same trip, Deepika made a stop in Las Vegas, where she reunited with her close friend Sneha Ramchander. The two were seen having a lively time together, including attending a Backstreet Boys concert, adding more cheerful moments to her birthday season.
On the professional front, Deepika Padukone has an exciting lineup ahead. She is set to appear alongside Shah Rukh Khan in King, one of the most anticipated projects. She is also part of director Atlee’s ambitious pan India film with Allu Arjun, currently titled AA22 x A6, which has already generated massive buzz.
As Deepika steps into a new decade, the love from fans and the warmth of these moments highlight not just her stardom, but the strong bond she shares with her audience, making her 40th birthday truly special both on and off screen.
