Dips,
who
is
due
to
welcome
her
first
child
in
September,
looked
radiant
in
a
black
bodycon
dress,
paired
with
an
oversized
matching
blazer.
Lakshya
recently
made
headlines
for
his
remarkable
performance
at
the
Paris
2024
Olympics,
where
he
reached
the
semi-finals
but
ultimately
fell
to
Malaysia’s
Lee
Zii
Jia
in
the
bronze
medal
match.
Ranveer
had
supported
him
and
posted
on
social
media
at
the
time:
‘What
a
player!
What
endurance,
what
agility,
what
a
range
of
shots,
what
focus,
what
grit,
what
smarts.
Scintillating
badminton
on
display!
It’s
difficult
to
encapsulate
just
how
brilliant
he’s
been
at
the
Olympics.
Missed
out
narrowly
in
a
game
of
extremely
small
margins.
But
he’s
only
22
and
he
is
just
getting
started.’
Deepika’s
father
Prakash
Padukone,
the
first
Indian
to
win
the
All
England
badminton
title,
was
a
key
mentor
for
the
Indian
badminton
contingent
at
the
Olympics.
