Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have returned as brand ambassadors for Abu Dhabi tourism in a playful new advertisement, released on October 24, 2025, showcasing their effortless chemistry and the city’s luxury appeal through a light-hearted anniversary roleplay. The couple, who welcomed their daughter Dua in September 2024, appear in a romantic dinner-date setup, with Deepika teasing Ranveer’s unkempt beard by calling him “Bond who forgot to shave.” Ranveer retorts with a grin, “In any case, this roleplay stuff is too cheesy,” before they share a laugh—moments that quickly went viral on social media, especially Reddit, under the caption “Abu Dhabi Diaries ft. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.”
The ad highlights Abu Dhabi’s upscale dining and cultural experiences, with the couple transitioning through stylish outfits: Deepika in a sharp cream blazer ensemble and later a striking red gown, while Ranveer sports a denim jacket and then a tailored blue blazer. Fans flooded comment sections with praise, with one writing, “Deepika in that red dress looks ethereal; the chemistry is chef’s kiss,” and another pleading, “Deepika and Ranveer, please come together for a rom-com.” Many called them “Dua’s mummy and papa”, celebrating their real-life parenthood in the fictional narrative.
This campaign follows an earlier Abu Dhabi ad released this month, where Deepika faced backlash for wearing a traditional abaya and hijab while exploring local culture—a move criticised by some as cultural appropriation despite being part of a government-backed tourism initiative promoting inclusivity. The new ad shifts focus to glamour and humour, effectively redirecting attention to the couple’s on-screen synergy.

On the work front, Deepika is gearing up for King, a high-octane action drama directed by Siddharth Anand alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan, and Atlee’s pan-India project AA22xA6 with Allu Arjun. Ranveer leads Dhurandhar, a spy thriller under Aditya Dhar with Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Akshaye Khanna. As their personal and professional lives intertwine with global branding, the couple continues to redefine star power—both in Bollywood and beyond.
