The wait is finally over! After keeping their daughter away from the public eye for over a year, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have officially introduced baby Dua to the world. The power couple celebrated Diwali by sharing their first-ever family portraits on Instagram, leaving fans speechless with their charm and warmth.
The pictures radiate love and festive joy — Ranveer looked effortlessly royal in a beige kurta-pyjama with a matching jacket, while Deepika and little Dua twinned in elegant maroon outfits. The actress accessorised her traditional gown-suit with heavy jewellery, completing the regal family frame. The couple captioned the post, “दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ,” extending their festive wishes to fans.
Dua — The Answer to Their Prayers
Deepika and Ranveer, who married in 2018, welcomed their daughter Dua on September 8, 2024. During last year’s Diwali, they had revealed her name, explaining its heartfelt meaning:
“Dua — meaning a prayer. Because she is the answer to our prayers.”
Last month, the couple celebrated Dua’s first birthday with an intimate celebration at home. Deepika baked the cake herself, sharing a glimpse of it on Instagram with the caption, “My love language? Baking a cake for my daughter’s 1st birthday!”
Motherhood Has Changed Deepika
In a recent interview with CNBC-TV18, Deepika opened up about her motherhood journey, sharing that it has made her more patient and social than ever.
“I’ve always been patient, but motherhood takes it to another level. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, makes you interact with other parents, and even enjoy playschool moments. I’ve always wanted to be a mother — now, I’m playing my best role.”
Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, Ranveer Singh is gearing up for Dhurandhar (releasing on December 6) followed by Don 3. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone, after her maternity break, will soon return to the big screen in Atlee’s next opposite Allu Arjun.
As fans showered love on the adorable family photos, one thing was clear — this Diwali belonged to Deepika, Ranveer, and little Dua, the trio who lit up hearts across the internet.
