In a move that has effectively silenced social media critics, Deepika Padukone has subtly reaffirmed her support for husband Ranveer Singh by reacting to a viral revelation about his unparalleled acting dedication.
On Friday, April 10, 2026, netizens noticed Deepika “liking” a clip of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap praising Ranveer’s extreme methods. Kashyap recalled a harrowing incident from the 2013 film Lootera, where Ranveer secretly used a paper clip on his stomach to simulate the physical agony of a gunshot wound during the climax.
The actor was eventually hospitalized but refused to halt production until he was physically unable to move—a level of commitment that has also been visible in his recent ₹1000 crore blockbuster, Dhurandhar 2.
This digital endorsement comes shortly after Deepika shut down trolls who had accused her of giving the “silent treatment” to Ranveer’s recent box-office success.
Addressing a comment about her lack of public celebratory posts, she sharply reminded fans that she had watched the film “way before any of you did,” effectively ending the narrative of a rift. The couple’s bond remains a focal point of the industry, especially as Ranveer Singh continues to dominate headlines, recently celebrating his success at an NMACC gala and joining the Ambani family for Anant Ambani’s spiritual birthday celebrations in Jamnagar.
The anecdote shared by Kashyap also highlighted the physical toll of Ranveer’s latest role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, noting that he and co-star Arjun Rampal frequently sustained real injuries during their intense face-offs. While the action epic continues to rule the Hindi markets—even outperforming the opening day of the newly released Dacoit—Deepika is preparing for her own high-octane projects. She is set to star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in King and will join Allu Arjun in the highly anticipated Raaka.
As the entertainment world buzzes over this “Reddit-viral” moment, the broader news cycle reflects a mix of political and technological milestones. While President Donald Trump applauds the Artemis II crew for their historic Moon flyby, the Assam Assembly Elections are seeing high voter turnouts, and Blue Dart has successfully contained a minor cyber incident. Amidst Mumbai’s rising summer heat and the IPL 2026 fever, Deepika’s subtle “like” serves as a powerful reminder that her support for Ranveer exists far beyond the performative nature of social media grids.
