Deepika Padukone To SKIP Attend MET Gala 2024 Due To Singham 3, Kalki 2898 AD Schedules

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City hosts the prestigious MET Gala every year to celebrate moments in fashion. For three consecutive years, Deepika Padukone has graced the Gala red carpet as a Global Ambassador from India. However, seems like she is giving the MET a miss this year due to scheduling issues, as per sources.

Sources close to the development have revealed that Deepika Padukone is currently busy with the shoot of Singham 3 and the launch of Kalki 2898 AD, which is slated for May. Although Deepika is expecting her first child with Ranveer Singh, fans wanted Deepika to make a grand appearance at the MET.

A highly-placed source shared, “Deepika Padukone has been a regular on the MET Gala Red Carpet. It is only natural for fans to anticipate her appearance at this year’s MET Gala, especially considering she is India’s biggest global brand ambassador. However, Deepika is in the midst of filming for ‘Singham 3’ which is slated to release later this year along with ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ which is slated to release in May, both of which coincide with this year’s MET Gala. She will therefore not be attending this year’s event.”

Deepika Padukone made her MET Gala debut in 2017 in a sleek slip gown by Tommy Hilfiger, marking the beginning of her journey as India’s global ambassador at the renowned fashion fundraiser gala. In the following years, we saw her donning extravagant ensembles, including a stunning red creation by designer Prabal Gurung in 2018 and a custom pink lurex Jacquard gown embellished with 400 three-dimensional embroidered pieces by Zac Posen in 2019.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika Padukone will soon be seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham 3 with Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar. She will also be seen in Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Hasaan starrer Kalki 2898 AD.
