Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has ignited a conversation among her followers by posing a simple yet thought-provoking conversation on Instagram. The subject of it is “Bengaluru or Mumbai?” The actress addressed what she describes as a question she gets asked “ever so often,” highlighting the ongoing debate between India’s tech hub and its entertainment capital.

In her Instagram post, Padukone reflects on her connection to both cities. Born and raised in Bengaluru, the actress acknowledges her roots in the Garden City where she spent her formative years. Meanwhile, Mumbai represents the place where her professional journey in cinema began and flourished.

She said, “Bengaluru is where I was born and raised. It will always be home.”  She adds, “Mumbai is where my professional journey began.”

Fans quickly engaged with the post, sharing their preferences and connections to the two cities. The debate touches on the distinct characteristics of each location – Bengaluru with its tech industry, pleasant weather, and laid-back lifestyle versus Mumbai’s fast-paced energy as the heart of Bollywood and India’s financial powerhouse.

This question comes amid Padukone’s recent public appearances following the birth of her daughter with actor Ranveer Singh in September. The actress has been gradually returning to the spotlight, engaging with fans through social media while balancing her new role as a mother.
