Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh expecting second child; daughter Dua shares the news

Actor Deepika Padukone has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Ranveer Singh, sharing the joyful news through a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly went viral.

The couple revealed the update in a simple yet touching manner, with their daughter Dua playing a central role in the announcement. In the post, the toddler is seen holding a pregnancy test, adding a personal and emotional touch to the reveal. The understated yet intimate moment struck a chord with fans, especially as the couple has largely kept their family life private.

Deepika and Ranveer, who welcomed their first child in 2024, have gradually offered glimpses into their journey as parents. Their daughter, Dua — whose name means “prayer” — was introduced to the world during Diwali that year, marking a special moment for the family.

The couple’s relationship dates back to 2012, when they met on the sets of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. They tied the knot in 2018 in a private ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, blending Konkani and Sikh traditions.

The pregnancy announcement comes at a time when Ranveer Singh is riding high on professional success, with his recent blockbuster franchise setting new box office benchmarks. Even as the actor continues his strong run on screen, the couple’s latest update has shifted the spotlight to their growing family, drawing warm wishes from fans and the film fraternity alike.
