Deepika Padukone Visits Tirumala Temple:- Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone (31) visited Tirumala on Friday afternoon to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Her upcoming release “Padmavati” is indeed navigating a storm of opposition to its release.

Filmmaker friend Farah Khan, accompanied Deepika in the sacred pilgrimage.

The Bajirao Mastani actress looked pretty in a white chikankari suit and accentuated her look with gold danglers, while Farah was dressed casually in a purple suit. Earlier, Deepika had visited Amritsar's Golden Temple, the Dargah at Ajmer and other places of worship.

Deepika Padukone, who was launched by Farah Khan in the Hindi film industry, with her first 2007 release, Om Shanti Om, completed 10 years in Bollywood on Thursday. The actress debuted opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Arjun Rampal and Shreyas Talpade were also part of the film. Based on reincarnation, Deepika played the double roles of Shanti Priya and Sandhya in Om Shanti Om.

She also made her Hollywood debut this year opposite Vin Diesel in xXx: Return of Xander Cage.

Deepika would essay the role of Rani Padmini of Chittor, in her upcoming film Padmavati, also starring Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, who would play - Rawal Ratan Singh and Alauddin Khilji respectively.

The film has been met with resistance, mostly in Rajasthan, from various groups. They are concerned that Padmavati wrongly imputes a romance between Padmini and Khilji. However, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has denied this.

Padmavati, which is yet to get a certification, releases on December 1.
