Deepika Padukone returns to the runway as Sabyasachi’s first Bollywood muse for his 25th anniversary show
Commanding the spotlight: Deepika Padukone becomes Sabyasachi’s first Bollywood muse at his milestone showcase
Deepika’s return to the ramp was beyond just a fashion moment. It was her first runway appearance since the birth of her daughter, Dua, and her presence was nothing short of a showstopper: striking, unforgettable, and full of intent. Effortlessly elegant, she opened the show with the grace and stature that have come to define her, not just as an actor but as one of India’s most recognisable global icons.

Over the years, Deepika has steadily shaped her place on the world stage. She became the first Indian to represent Louis Vuitton and Cartier, breaking barriers in the international luxury space and opening the door for others to follow. Just recently, she attended Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, continuing her association with the world’s top fashion houses.
Her appearance at Sabyasachi’s show felt like a homecoming of sorts. The designer and actor share a long-standing friendship, but this moment was also about something larger. As Sabyasachi put it, “She is, in so many ways, Brand India.”

For someone who has consciously kept film stars away from his catwalk, Sabyasachi’s decision to have Deepika lead his milestone show speaks volumes. And if the response is anything to go by, the audience agreed she was missed, and now she’s back.

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes
Their discussion touched on how different cultures view on-screen sexuality. Kareena pointed out that Indian audiences and filmmakers are still cautious when it comes to openly discussing or portraying sex and female desire. “We’re just not as open about it,” she said, contrasting the Indian film industry with Western cinema, where such themes are more common and often treated with frankness.
Even without intimate scenes, Kareena has taken on challenging roles. She played a sex worker in Chameli, a performance that marked a significant turning point in her career. “It was a role that helped me understand my own sense of confidence and sensuality,” she recalled. That character didn’t require explicit content to convey depth or complexity.

While Kareena’s early career featured a few bold moments in films like Kurbaan and Fida, she has since drawn clear boundaries. She believes respect for the portrayal of sexuality on screen should come from a genuine understanding of its human aspect, not just for shock or spectacle.

Is Sadie Sink joining Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 as Jean Grey?
Sadie Sink, known for her breakout role as Max in Stranger Things, is stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reports say she’s set to star alongside Tom Holland in the next Spider-Man movie. Filming is expected to begin later this year, with the movie slated for release on July 31, 2026. Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will be behind the camera, while Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige are producing.
Fans speculate: Will Sadie Sink play Jean Grey or a classic Spider-Man character?Getty Images
While Marvel and Sony are keeping quiet about who Sink will play, the internet is already full of theories. Some fans believe she might take on the role of Jean Grey, possibly hinting at an X-Men crossover. Others think she could appear as a new version of Mary Jane Watson, especially since Zendaya’s MJ no longer remembers Peter Parker after the events of No Way Home. One thing is clear though, Sink’s character is expected to be a major part of the story.
At the end of No Way Home, Peter Parker chose to have everyone forget who he was in order to save the multiverse. With that reset, familiar characters like MJ and Ned might take a backseat, making room for new faces like Sink. Holland is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and will reportedly move straight into Spider-Man 4 after that wraps up.

This casting comes at a big moment for Sadie Sink. She recently finished shooting the final season of Stranger Things, which is set to premiere later in 2025. Sink is also branching out into other projects. She stars in the musical film O’Dessa, which premiered at SXSW and will stream soon on Hulu. In April, she’ll make her Broadway debut in John Proctor Is the Villain.
Fans of both Stranger Things and Spider-Man are eager to see how Sink fits into the superhero world. With production gearing up and excitement building, Spider-Man 4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in Marvel’s next phase.
