We bet fans are finally happy to see their favourite actress back to work. After Padmaavat released last year, the actress was busy with her shaadi shopping until she got married to Ranveer Singh in November last year. Post that, Ranveer and Deepika headed on a vacay which went on for quite a few days. The couple celebrated New Year and Deepika's birthday while they were on their honeymoon. And now that she is finally back after her break, the actress has started taking up work.
