The actor took to social media platform and re-posted a series of Instagram stories by fans, which included her pictures, video montages and even letters to mark the occasion.

Her next film is with Kapoor & Sons director Shakun Batra and it also feature actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. The film was scheduled to go on floors in Sri Lanka but got pushed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film also featured Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. It was produced by Karan Johar. In 2015, Deepika and Ranbir would again come together on screen for Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha.
