New Delhi: Big news from Bollywood: Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have announced that they are expecting their first child. The couple shared a simple post with the due date of September 2024 and baby-related icons. A string of emojis was all that was needed as a caption. The comments thread on Deepika’s post erupted immediately. Priyanka Chopra, who co-starred with the couple in Bajirao Mastani and collaborated with Ranveer Singh in Dil Dhadakne Do and Gunday, wrote, “Mubarak” with a heart emoji. Deepika’s Chhapaak co-star Vikrant Massey commented, “Bahut bahut shubhkamnaen.” Sonakshi Sinha commented, “Your best production yet.” “Congratulations,” said Kriti Sanon and Sonam Kapoor. Varun Dhawan sent a series of hearts.
Deepika’s pregnancy announcement confirms weeks of speculation, fueled in part by her recent appearance at the BAFTAs. Deepika, who presented at the awards show, wore a saree and appeared to be trying to cover her stomach.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh married in 2018 after several years of dating. They held a destination wedding in Italy, followed by receptions in Mumbai and Deepika’s hometown, Bengaluru.
The actors have collaborated in films such as Goliyon Ka Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. They recently appeared together on a highly publicized episode of Karan Johar’s show Koffee With Karan.
