Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone were part of a session titled From Outsider To Ruler at the Waves Summit 2025 (World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit) at Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC) located in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. The session was moderated by Karan Johar.
In a viral video from the event, Shah Rukh Khan is heard complimenting Deepika Padukone as a "wonderful mother". Shah Rukh Khan says, "I just want to add one more thing, which is personal. So, please excuse me if I am stepping the boundaries. But I think, the role she's going to play the best - (Inshallah) - is that of a mother now, with Dua. I think she is really really going to be a wonderful mom." Deepika burst into a loud smile while the audience approved Shah Rukh Khan's verdict with a thunderous applause.
