One of Bollywood’s favourite celebrities, Deepika Padukone, was the star of Diljit Dosanjh’s thrilling Dil-Luminati performance in Bengaluru last night. Deepika wowed fans with her flawless style and glowing presence at her first public appearance since the birth of her daughter Dua Padukone Singh in September.

The actress wore the ‘Lover’ sweatshirt from Levi’s Dil-Luminati tour merchandise collection, adopting a casual yet eye-catching style. The classic blue jeans were worn with the enormous white t-shirt with its striking graphic typography. Deepika’s natural charm and minimal makeup wonderfully captured the essence of this Levi’s and Diljit collaboration, which combines Punjabi modernity with classic denim heritage.

When Diljit’s iconic song, Hass Hass, came on, fans were ecstatic to see Deepika dancing, clapping, and even performing bhangra motions among the audience. Fans’ videos captured her genuine happiness and carefree style, igniting social media’s admiration.

When Diljit asked Deepika to take the stage, the audience erupted in cheers, marking the pinnacle of the event. The audience was mesmerised by Deepika’s kind recognition and radiant smile, which many referred to as “a vision of beauty.” Social media exploded with admiration for the actress, with followers saturating timelines with remarks such as ‘She’s glowing!’ and ‘Beautiful mummy DP.’

Fans love the Levi’s Dil-Luminati merchandise, which was created especially for Diljit’s tour and is sold in a few places in India as well as online. Deepika’s choice of this ensemble, which skilfully combines comfort and style, solidifies her reputation as a style star.

Deepika Padukone, who continues to be a fan favourite due to her timeless beauty and down-to-earth manner, made a lovely comeback to the spotlight with this public appearance.

Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan enjoyed the unique styling of the late Rohit Bal for multiple seasons of Kaun Banega Crorepati, and back in 2012, he shared his exhilaration regarding this collaboration and almost confirmed that he too was a longstanding admirer of this designing legend.
Rohit Bal, a highly esteemed figure in Indian fashion, has sadly passed away at the age of 63 due to a heart attack, as confirmed on Friday. During his remarkable career, he crafted stunning outfits for numerous celebrities, including Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, and, of course, Amitabh Bachchan. In May 2012, Amitabh expressed his enthusiasm on social media, revealing his delight at being styled by Rohit for yet another season of the beloved quiz show.
Reflecting on his experience, Amitabh tweeted at the time, “The designing of the look on KBC by Rohit ‘Gudda’ Bal… just lifts your spirits when you wear his outfits… that jacket… hmmm.” His appearances on the show showcased chic suits and jackets created by Rohit, contributing to the show’s distinctive persona.

The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) released a heartfelt statement on Instagram mourning the loss of this legendary designer: “Known for his unique blend of traditional patterns with modern sensibilities, Bal’s work redefined Indian fashion, inspiring generations.”
Sunil Sethi, chairman of the FDCI, shared his thoughts on Instagram, noting that the void left by Rohit, affectionately known as Gudda, would be felt forever in the fashion design realm. “Everyone admired his attention to detail, the exquisite way his lotus bloomed on modern shapes, and his keen understanding of contemporary women’s desires,” Sethi expressed.

“It’s true that he has passed away due to cardiac arrest,” Sunil confirmed to a media channel. “Rohit was a legend, and we are deeply shaken. We’re currently finalizing arrangements for his cremation tomorrow.” Rohit had recently been hospitalized at Aashlok Hospital in Safdarjung Enclave, where he received treatment from Dr. Alok Chopra.

Sonam Kapoor also shared her sorrow over Rohit’s death, stating on Instagram, “Dear Gudda, I heard about your passing on my way to celebrate Diwali in your gorgeous creation that you generously lent to me for the second time. I’ve been blessed to have known you and worn your pieces, as well as walked for you multiple times. I hope you’re at peace. Forever your biggest fan.”

According to his official website, Rohit Bal graduated from St Stephen’s College in New Delhi with a degree in history. After a few years in his family’s export business, he launched his own label in 1990. His designs are described as a vibrant fusion of diverse influences, showcasing the rich traditions of Indian craftsmanship alongside the dynamic essence of urban aesthetics.
