She is perhaps the first global actor to do so in the history of FIFA. On Friday, she was snapped at the Mumbai airport, flashing the biggest smiles for the paparazzi. She was on her way to Qatar.
Meanwhile, several Bollywood celebrities are currently in Qatar for the match. Among them are Karisma Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan, Mohanlal and others.
Deepika will be next seen in Pathaan, alongside Shah Rukh Khan who promoted the film only hours ago, prior to the beginning of the match. He joined Wayne Rooney for a live chat and equated his film to the footballer.
He told Wayne, “I’m not saying this because you are here. Honestly I will tell you who Pathaan is. Pathaan is the guy you call last minute when you are all tied up and you can’t find a solution. For me, if you don’t mind me saying, if Pathaan is to be equated to any footballer in the world, before or after or later, it will always be you. You are the tough guy.” Pathaan is an action flick, directed by Siddharth Anand. It is slated to release in January next year.
