Deepika Padukone’s quiet social media return sparks buzz: What is her 'embracing the small' post about?

Deepika Padukone may not be the most active celebrity on social media, but when she does share something, it always leaves a lasting impact. Known for her thoughtful posts and elegant presence, the actress recently took to Instagram Stories with a rare update that caught everyone’s attention.

In a mirror selfie, Deepika was seen indulging in a calming skincare ritual, wearing a face mask and flashing a soft smile. She captioned it with a powerful reminder: “Self-care for me is about embracing the small, everyday rituals that bring joy. As we celebrate self-care month, consider taking a moment for yourself?” The message, simple yet meaningful, instantly struck a chord with fans, reminding them to slow down and take care of their inner and outer well-being.

Deepika has always advocated for holistic wellness and skin health, often choosing to highlight the importance of beauty from within. Whether through her skincare brand or quiet personal moments like this, she consistently inspires millions to find joy in the little things.

But that’s not all. The actress is also making big moves on the professional front. While there were talks about her stepping away from Spirit, Deepika has officially joined the cast of Allu Arjun and Atlee’s upcoming magnum opus, tentatively titled AA22xA6. A recent video shared by Sun Pictures showed Atlee narrating the script to Deepika, followed by glimpses of her in a powerful queen avatar, riding horses, wielding swords, and all set to dominate the screen once again.

The multi-faceted star, who welcomed her first child Dua with Ranveer Singh in September 2024, is gracefully balancing her new role as a mother with her demanding film career. Alongside AA22xA6, fans can look forward to seeing her opposite Shah Rukh Khan in King and in the much-awaited mythological epic Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2.

Despite her limited digital presence, Deepika knows exactly when and how to make a statement, whether it’s about self-care, cinema, or simply living authentically.
