The pregnancy announcement created a wave of excitement online. The couple shared a heartfelt post featuring their daughter Dua, which went viral, drawing congratulatory messages from fans and several celebrities.

Deepika and Ranveer tied the knot in 2018 in Italy, in ceremonies that celebrated both their Konkani and Sindhi traditions. They welcomed their first child, Dua, in September 2024 and kept her away from the public eye initially. It was during Diwali 2025 that they introduced her to the world, revealing her name and sharing glimpses of their family moments.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika has a packed slate ahead. She is set to star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in King. She will also make her Telugu debut with Raaka, co-starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee.
