Deepika Padukone gives Met Gala a miss to do this; fans ask why

Chandigarh, May 3

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has disappointed some of her fans by skipping Met Gala 2022. Instead of being at the fashion extravaganza, she chose to spend the day with a friend, donning a ‘naturalist’ cap. Vinita Chaitanya, an interior designer, shared a happy photo with Deepika on her social media.

In the picture, both the friends (Vinita and Deepika) are standing among tecoma shrubs, admiring the beauty of yellow bells as they enjoy being in nature. The two are also twinning in similar outfits in ivory colour. Sharing the post, Vinita captioned it as “Twinning, this morning, with a fellow naturalist #worklife #interiordesigner”

The moment this photo reached the internet, Deepika’s fans has a lot to say. While most appreciated her time in natures, some even expressed disappointment for not seeing her at this year’s Met Gala event.

A fan commented, “She’s not attending the Met Gala this year ???,” and another one asked, “Why isn’t she at MET?”

In 2019, Deepika Padukone dressed in Zac Posen’s bubblegum pink strapless gown with sculpted details left everyone in awe. She looked stunning and many even compared her to Barbie doll.
