Actor Deepika Padukone has finally unveiled the FIFA World Cup trophy alongside Iker Casillas ahead of Sunday’s final match. Pictures of the actor and former Spanish goalkeeper from the field have now surfaced and fans can’t stop praising her. The final of the match for the prestigious Jules Rimet Trophy is between Argentina led by Lionel Messi and France led by Hugo Lloris.
In the picture, Deepika wore a white shirt topped with a jacket. She paired it with a black tulle skirt and high-heeled boots. She walked onto the field of the Lusail Stadium alongside Iker who was holding the golden trophy. Deepika is the ambassador of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton, which produced the trophy case. He is perhaps the first global actor to do so in FIFA history. On Friday, she was snapped at the Mumbai airport flashing the biggest smiles for the paparazzi. She was on her way to Qatar.
Meanwhile, several Bollywood celebrities are in Qatar for the match. Among them are Karisma Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan, Mohanlal and others. Deepika will next be seen in Pathaan, alongside Shah Rukh Khan, who promoted the film just a few hours ago, ahead of the match. He joined Wayne Rooney for a live chat and compared his film to a footballer.
He said to Wayne, “I’m not saying this because you’re here.” I will honestly tell you who Pathaan is. Pathaan is the person you call at the last minute when you are all tied up and can’t find a solution. For me, if you don’t mind me saying, if Pathaan is to be compared to any footballer in the world, before, after or after, it will always be you. You are a tough guy.” Pathaan is an action film directed by Siddharth Anand. It is scheduled to release in January next year.
