Deepika Padukone on Monday said she is grateful to have unveiled the trophy for the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy before the final between Argentina and France.

The Chennai Express actress shared a video on Instagram with the caption “From unveiling the FIFA World Cup Trophy to witnessing one of the greatest games in sporting history, I truly couldn’t have asked for more... #grateful #fifaworldcup2022.”

On Sunday night, Padukone and former Spain captain Iker Casillas presented the trophy in front of a packed audience at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

The 36-year-old actor wore a Louis Vuitton outfit while presenting the trophy that arrived in a titanium-covered special-order trunk, designed and handmade by expert artisans in Maison’s atelier in Asnieres, France.

On the night, Argentina clinched the World Cup title on penalties after the hard-fought match with defending champions France ended in a 3-3 draw. Argentina captain Lionel Messi scored two goals, while Kylian Mbappe became the second player ever to score a hat-trick at a World Cup final after England’s Geoff Hurst.

The final match was witnessed live by several Indian celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Kartik Aaryan, Ranveer Singh, Farah Khan, Mohanlal and Mammootty.

Shah Rukh, Deepika’s co-star in the upcoming action film Pathaan, joined former English footballer Wayne Rooney for the pre-match show to promote the movie. Directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously helmed War, the upcoming film also stars John Abraham as the main antagonist alongside Shah Rukh and Deepika.

Pathaan is scheduled to hit the theatres on January 25, 2023.
