Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has decided to forgo the Met Gala 2026, prioritizing her professional and personal commitments. Sources indicate that her decision stems from a desire to focus on her burgeoning film projects, 'King' and 'Raaka,' which require her full attention.
Padukone's role in 'Raaka' reportedly includes a significant action sequence, and her appearance in 'King' is also noted for an impressive entrance. The actress is also expecting her second child with husband Ranveer Singh, further shaping her priorities for the year.
The film 'King,' co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, is slated for release on December 24, 2026. 'Raaka,' featuring Allu Arjun, is expected in 2027. These film schedules, coupled with her pregnancy, have led to her absence from the May 4, 2026, Met Gala event.
This marks a departure from her previous Met Gala appearances in 2017, 2018, and 2019, where she was celebrated for her fashion choices. Fans will miss her presence on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this year.
