Curious case of Deepika's baby bump

The chatter around Deepika's baby bump began when she first appeared to cast her vote during the Lok Sabha Election in May. The actor opted for an oversized t-shirt and denims, and her baby bump was slightly revealed. Days after she appeared at a product launch of her event 82E, Deepika wore a beautiful yellow gown, looking like a sunflower.

The actor was once again trolled a few days after casting her vote in the city. Within three days, her baby bump was visible.

The trolling didn't stop there, the actor has time and again made public appearances. Deepika was spotted dining with her mother and Ranveer Singh. During that time, she was trolled that she had kept her legs crossed while sitting next to Deepika hiding her baby bump.

And once again on Wednesday evening when Deepika attended the Kalki event in the city, the actor wore a black bodycon dress and radiated pregnancy glow. The actor paired her black bodycon black dress with pencil heels.

Deepika talks about working in Kalki

It has been an incredible experience both personally and professionally."
