It's a double whammy for Deepika Padukone, or should we say triple? First, she's all set to celebrate her 34th birthday tomorrow on January 5, second, her upcoming film Chhapaak is making all the right noises and has all the chances to do well, both critically and commercially.

And most crucially, she celebrated her birthday in advance with her director Meghna Gulzar, co-star Vikrant Massey, and the entire group of the paparazzi. As usual, she looked gorgeous and ravishing. Let's start from the beginning. She arrived with Gulzar and Massey in style and photographer Yogen Shah uploaded a video on Instagram.
