It has been a busy year for Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone. From promotions of her now-blockbuster ‘Pathaan’ to being a presenter at the 95th Academy Awards, the actress had her hands full.
Basking in the glory of the success of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, the 37-year-old decided to take some time off for some me-time. She was on a special tour to Bhutan for her much-deserved break.
Several media reports suggested that the actress was touring Bhutan with her family, but there was no sign of her actor-husband Ranveer Singh or her businesswoman-sister Anisha or parents – Prakash and Ujjala Padukone.
Social media is flooded with pictures of the ‘Piku’ star posing for selfies with her fans.
According to reports, the actress was in the Kingdom of Bhutan, last week, sightseeing and visiting popular cafes.
Padukone visited the popular Your Cafe of Neyphug Heritage – the 3-story complex that is a part of the Neyphug Monastery. Sharing selfies of the actress with fans and the chef, the cafe’s post on its official Instagram profile read, “Thank you so much for your visit to Neyphug Heritage, Your Cafe, Bhutan. It’s been a great pleasure to serve you and your family! Such a down-to-earth soul.”
Playing the perfect tourist, she was also spotted touring the Tiger’s Nest in Taktsang, Paro. A fan, who was bowled over by Padukone’s graciousness, took to Instagram to share a selfie.
The woman, who goes by the Instagram handle @mrajasegaran, wrote in her caption, “This deserves its own post. I respected her wishes for privacy and gracious as she is on screen she is gracious off the screen and came up to me when she was ready for a pic.”
The verified page of Padukone’s Malaysia fan page also shared a picture of a couple happily posing with the actress in Bhutan. Padukone wore a nude-coloured co-ord set with an oversized winter jacket, pair of black sunglasses and a pair of white sneakers.

On the work front, Padukone has a packed work calendar. She is currently working on ‘Project K’, alongside Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan. Set for January 2024 release, she will also be seen in ‘Fighter’ with Hrithik Roshan. A bunch of her home productions are also expected to go on floors soon.
