Deepika Padukone spotted first time after being named Oscars 2023 presenter

Days after Deepika Padukone was announced as one of the presenters at Oscars 2023, the actress was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Sunday (March 5). Deepika arrived at the airport dressed in a brown leather jacket with polo neck T-shirt and denim jeans, which she paired with a black bag and black sunglasses. 

In contrast to her customary loose curls or waves, Deepika chose straight hair for her airport appearance while wearing minimal makeup. The actress smiled and waved at the shutterbugs as she walked inside the terminal
