Deepika Padukone joins Ranveer Singh to spotlight Experience Abu Dhabi for Indian travelers

When a destination signs two of India’s most influential stars at once, the question is never only about awareness. It is about intent. The new chapter brings Deepika Padukone alongside Ranveer Singh to front a series of Experience Abu Dhabi stories that frame the city as a warm, modern and easy short break for Indian travelers who want culture in the morning and thrill by evening. The films lean on companionship, gentle humor and visual cues that Indian families and friend groups instantly read. Museum corridors. Water adventures. Mangroves. City nights that feel safe and celebratory.

The couple casting is not a gimmick. It creates permission for multi generational itineraries and couples trips alike. Viewers can imagine bringing parents for heritage mornings, teens for rides and shows, and friends for long dinners that run into dessert. The styling respects local culture and still feels current for an Indian audience that values comfort, modesty and fashion in the same suitcase. The on camera banter is light. The subtext is practical. You can fit a lot into three or four days without racing through a checklist.

For India, the timing is a smart push. School breaks, Diwali holidays and year end time off create a wave of searches for international weekends that do not require long flights or complex visas. A destination that offers predictable hospitality, clean family attractions and enough novelty to justify a repeat visit wins this window. The new ambassadorship also extends a story that began earlier, so the brand is not resetting the frame every season. It is building a series that can run across winter and spring with fresh edits and micro themes, from desert drives to indoor theme park nights.

The creative language keeps the focus on shared discovery rather than travel bragging. You see handholds on stairways, laughs in quiet corners, and small moments that feel believable. That tone matters because Indian travel decisions are often group decisions. If the films help one family member convince the rest that everyone will have fun without friction, the destination has done real work. Expect the rollout to use short video, creator features and location led reels that show snackable itineraries by time of day. Morning calm. Afternoon thrill. Golden hour photos. Dinner that keeps a large table happy.

Success here will be measured in repeat searches for very specific neighborhoods and attractions, and in how quickly travel planners begin to package these scenes into ready itineraries. A credible outcome is a rise in couples and family groups who were Dubai regulars and now want a change without sacrificing convenience. That is exactly where this pair of ambassadors can move the needle.
