Fans hailed it as one of the most endearing celebrity pregnancy reveals to date, putting the focus squarely on little Dua, who joined the family on September 8, 2024.
As expected, the announcement triggered a massive wave of love from the film fraternity. The comments section of the post quickly became a star-studded affair. Leading actresses like Kiara Advani and Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared their excitement with heart emojis, while others like Bhumi Pednekar and Parineeti Chopra sent their warmest congratulations. Even Sunil Grover and other friends from the industry joined in the festivities.
The news comes at a time when Deepika Padukone is making headlines not just for her acting, but for her firm stance on work-life balance. As a mother, she has been a vocal advocate for less strenuous film schedules to ensure she can spend time with her children. Reports indicate that she has made an eight-hour shift a non-negotiable condition for her projects.
This commitment to her family reportedly led her to walk out of high-profile tentpole films, including Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s action thriller ‘Spirit’ and Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi epic ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ Part 2, after the respective producers were unable to meet her primary condition regarding shift timings. However, fans will still see her on the big screen in ‘King’, where she stars opposite Shah Rukh Khan, and in the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Raaka’.
While the family prepares for a new arrival, Ranveer Singh is currently enjoying the most successful phase of his professional life. Over the last four months, he has delivered back-to-back blockbusters with the ‘Dhurandhar’ spy thriller franchise. The sequel, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, has shattered records to become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India, amassing over Rs 1,300 crore net. On the global stage, the film has earned a staggering Rs 1,748 crore, cementing Ranveer’s position as a dominant force at the box office.
Deepika and Ranveer tied the knot in a private ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, in November 2018 after dating for nearly six years. From their first meeting on a film set to welcoming Dua and now preparing for their second child, the DeepVeer journey continues to be a source of pure joy for their fans.
