Bollywood’s power couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, delighted fans this Diwali by sharing the first-ever pictures of their daughter, Dua. The deeply personal and festive reveal has resonated with admirers nationwide, marking a significant moment for the couple known for their commitment to privacy.
Breaking from their usual discretion since welcoming Dua, Deepika and Ranveer chose Diwali to offer a heartwarming glimpse into their family life. They posted a beautiful portrait on Instagram, accompanied by the caption ‘Diwali ki hardik shubhkamnayein’ (Heartfelt Diwali wishes), and a series of protective emojis. This marks a cherished departure from their previously private approach to parenthood.
In the captivating images, Deepika looks radiant in a traditional red silk salwar kameez, accessorized with gold jewelry and jasmine flowers in her hair. Ranveer complements her festive attire in an elegant ivory sherwani, adorned with pearls and his characteristic sunglasses. The couple’s stylish ensembles perfectly captured the spirit of the celebration.
However, the undeniable star of the photos was baby Dua. Dressed in a coordinated red outfit and nestled securely in her parents’ loving embrace, the little one looked incredibly charming with her two tiny ponytails. One particularly touching photograph showcases Deepika tenderly cradling Dua during a Diwali puja, highlighting a beautiful family ritual.
Dua was welcomed into the world on September 8, 2024, almost six years after Deepika and Ranveer’s grand wedding in Italy in November 2018. Their journey began on the sets of ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela’ in 2013, and their shared passion for cinema has been evident in their subsequent collaborations on films like ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Padmaavat’.
Until this Diwali post, the couple had meticulously guarded Dua’s privacy, with instances of Deepika gently discouraging photography at airports. This heartwarming reveal signifies not just a festive occasion but a profound personal milestone for the Padukone-Singh family, celebrated with love and joy.
