Driving India proud yet again, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone became the first Indian to unveil the FIFA World Cup trophy.

She revealed it at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Sunday, ahead of the all-important final between former two-time champion Argentina and defending two-time champion France. Weighing 6.175 kg and made of 18-carat gold and malachite, the trophy unveiling is an essential part of the pre-match traditions.
