Actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have officially announced that they are expecting their first child together. The joyous news was shared by the couple on their respective Instagram accounts, revealing that their bundle of joy is due to arrive in September of this year.
Speculation surrounding Deepika and Ranveer’s pregnancy had been circulating, particularly heightened after Deepika’s appearance at the BAFTA awards where she strategically concealed her midriff. Despite the rumors, the couple had chosen to maintain a dignified silence.
Heartfelt congratulations and warm wishes flooded the comments section of their announcement post from fellow Bollywood celebrities. Singer Shreya Ghoshal expressed her excitement and joy, while Kriti Sanon shared her congratulations with love and happiness. Vikrant Massey, Deepika’s co-star in ‘Chhapaak’ and a recent father himself, conveyed his enthusiastic blessings. Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, and Shehnaaz Gill were among the many who extended their best wishes to the expecting couple.
Deepika had previously expressed her and Ranveer’s desire for children, emphasizing their commitment to family values. She highlighted their intention to preserve a sense of normalcy despite their fame and fortune, striving to instill similar grounded values in their future children.
The journey of Deepika and Ranveer’s relationship has been a celebrated one, blossoming over six years before their fairy tale wedding on November 14, 2018, at Lake Como in Italy. Their love story began on the sets of ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and has been enriched through collaborations in films like ‘Finding Fanny’, ‘Padmaavat’, and ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Last year, the couple marked their fifth wedding anniversary with a special celebration in Belgium.
