Deepika Padukone-backed D2C brand Epigamia has named former Mars executive Ritesh Gauba as CEO, tapping over 24 years of FMCG experience. COO Ankur Goel has been elevated to cofounder. The leadership changes follow the death of cofounder Rohan Mirchandani in December 2024. Epigamia sells across ecommerce, quick commerce, and 25,000 retail touchpoints, having raised about $60 million.
Viral posts claimed Deepika Padukone attended a pre-MET Gala 2026 dinner in New York as she reportedly heads toward her second pregnancy. But the circulating pictures have been identified as AI-generated, not real photographs of the actress. The rumours tied to MET Gala May 4 festivities were amplified online despite no verified confirmation.
