In the recent photos, Deepika posed with Lakshya, her in-laws, sister-in-law Ritika Bhavnani, Apoorva, and Aditya Agarwal at a Mumbai restaurant. The actor from Kalki 2898 AD wore a long black dress with white shoes, and layered it up with a black blazer for her casual dinner outing.

Ranveer Singh backs Lakshya Sen post Olympic loss

Lakshya is a former world junior No. 1. He won gold medals at the 2018 Asian Junior Championships in the boys' singles and at the Summer Youth Olympics in the mixed team event. Recently, Ranveer Singh backed Lakshya after his loss in the men's singles badminton bronze medal match at the Paris Olympics.

Apparently, Lakshya's mentor and former badminton player Prakash Padukone emphasised the need for introspection among Indian badminton players. Ranveer, while defending Lakshya, took to his Instagram Stories and wrote, “What a player! What endurance, what agility, what a range of shots, what focus, what grit, what smarts. Scintillating badminton on display! Its difficult to encapsulate just how brilliant he's been at the Olympics. Missed out narrowly in a game of extremely small margins. But he's only 22 and he is just getting started.”
