Deepika Padukone announces second pregnancy
Last week, rumours surfaced that a Bollywood couple would announce their second pregnancy soon. Turns out these rumours were true as Deepika and Ranveer took to their Instagram over the weekend to make the announcement in a joint post. Deepika posted a picture of their daughter Dua holding a pregnancy stick in her hand, with two pink lines showing that the actor had tested positive. She posted it in a joint post with Ranveer, with two evil-eye emojis as the caption. Congratulatory messages poured in from fans and celebrities alike.
Deepika and Ranveer began dating in 2012 when they met on the set of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The couple married in 2018 in Italy in the presence of their loved ones. Their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, was born in 2024.
Upcoming work
After the 2023 film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and the 2024 film Singham Again, Ranveer starred in the Dhurandhar films. The first film was released in theatres in December 2025, and Dhurandhar: The Revenge was released on March 19. The films have collectively grossed ₹3000 crore worldwide and are massive hits. Deepika was last seen in the 2024 films Fighter, Kalki 2898 AD and Singham Again. She shot the latter two films while pregnant with Dua.
Ranveer will soon star in a zombie film named Pralay, which has yet to be officially announced. Deepika has King in Hindi with Shah Rukh Khan and Raaka in Telugu with Allu Arjun lined up. Much like her previous films, the actor is shooting Raaka while pregnant.
