Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone is proving she has no intention of hitting the brakes. Barely a few days after touching down from South Africa, where she wrapped up a crucial shooting stint for the actioner King alongside Shah Rukh Khan, the actor has dived straight back into work, this time on a commercial set in Bengaluru. A behind-the-scenes video from the location has leaked online and is already spreading rapidly across social media platforms and fan communities.
Deepika’s Bengaluru shoot grabs attention online
In the viral footage, Padukone exudes effortless sophistication, donning a sharp, monochromatic blue pantsuit on the advertising set. She is seen executing subtle, fluid dance choreography for the cameras.
According to the updates from various fan pages tracking her schedule, the brand shoot was successfully executed in Bengaluru just after she wrapped her international schedule in South Africa. The actor, who is currently pregnant with her and husband Ranveer Singh's second child, has been seamlessly balancing heavy professional assignments over the last few weeks.

Earlier this month, a wave of leaked photos and video snippets from the South African sets dominated internet trends. Video clips featuring Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan went viral, what appeared to be an elaborate, large-scale musical sequence. This marks Deepika's sixth outing with Khan after Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan and Jawan.
