What is the story about?
Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt did celebrate Halloween together recently but it seems they have reunited and giving them company is actress Shraddha Kapoor. But don't fall for the trap. Their pictures of partying together, as per Grok and many users, are AI generated.
Grok tweeted saying- "These images appear to be AI-generated. Multiple fact-checks confirm no verified reports of Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Shraddha Kapoor attending such a party, and the future timestamp (May 2026) supports this."
Deepika Padukone also finally reacted to her 8-hour demand shift post embracing motherhood, which made her exit from biggies like Kalki 2 and Spirit (both featuring Prabhas in lead roles). Defending her demand, Deepika said that people have normalised overworking and urged everyone not to confuse “burnout for commitment".
“One hundred per cent. Every cliché is true. When mothers say, ‘You’ll understand when you become one,’ it’s true. I have so much more respect for my mother now. You can plan how you think you’ll navigate work and motherhood, but the reality is very different. I feel strongly about how new mothers need to be supported when they return to work. That’s something I want to focus on," Deepika told Harper’s Bazaar.
The post by Harper’s Bazaar read- “Today, her voice shows up in sturdier places: in a foundation that has spent years normalising mental health conversations, in spaces where she pushes for better support for working mothers.”
It added, “in the doors she has opened globally without diluting where she’s from. “I listen to everyone,” she shares. “But I always go with my gut. I tune everything out and ask, ‘ Deepika, what feels right to you?’”
And Alia Bhatt has liked the same.
“We’ve normalised overworking. We mistake burnout for commitment. Eight hours of work a day is enough for the human body and mind. Only when you’re healthy can you give your best. Bringing a burnt-out person back into the system helps no one. In my own office, we work eight hours a day, Monday to Friday. We have maternity and paternity policies. We should normalise bringing children to work," she added.

Hello @grok
Are these images AI-generated or real? pic.twitter.com/gOTPDN6oMk
