Deepika Padukone deleted all the contents of her Twitter and Instagram accounts on New Year's Eve. While some fans wondered whether her social media accounts had been hacked, others speculated that this was part of a strategy to promote an upcoming event. Recently, celebrities such as Farah Khan, Vikrant Massey and Urmila Matondkar have fallen victim to hackers who have gained access to their social media accounts.
While Deepika's tweets and Instagram posts were deleted, her liked tweets and saved Instagram stories were available. Deepika also changed her profile picture on both social media platforms.
Later, on 1 January, Deepika made a fresh post, an audio clip launching her "audio diary". "Hi everyone, welcome to my audio diary, a record of my thoughts and feelings. 2020 was a year of uncertainty for everybody but for me, it was also about gratitude and about being present, and for 2021, all I can wish for myself and everybody is good health and peace of mind. Happy New Year," she says in the message.
Deepika brought in the New Year with Ranveer Singh in Jaipur. The couple were spotted leaving Mumbai on 30 December in coordinated beige and brown outfits. On the work front, Deepika has been shooting for Shakun Batra's upcoming untitled film, which also stars Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi. She also features alongside Ranveer Singh in sports drama 83. The Kabir Khan directorial is set to release this year.
