Deepika Padukone Parts Ways with 'The White Lotus' - Here's Why!

Deepika Padukone has reportedly parted ways with HBO's hit series 'The White Lotus', and it's not because she wasn't offered the role. According to sources, Deepika wasn't keen on auditioning for the show, which led to her passing on the opportunity.

This news has come as a surprise to fans, who were eagerly awaiting her potential debut in the Emmy-winning series. Deepika was previously rumored to join the cast of Season 3, but opted out due to her pregnancy. Now, it seems she won't be part of Season 4 either, which is set to film in France with an ensemble cast, including Helena Bonham Carter and Chris Messina.

The White Lotus is known for its satirical take on wealth, privilege, and human relationships, and Deepika's involvement would have been a significant coup for the show. While her decision may disappoint fans, she's currently focusing on her Bollywood projects, including her upcoming film 'King' with Shah Rukh Khan.

The show will still premiere its fourth season, likely in late 2026 or early 2027, with a fresh cast and setting in Saint-Tropez, France.
