Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh Welcome Second Daughter

The couple announced the birth after public temple visits, a Ranveer pledge to fund education for 1,000 girls and a decision to keep his new film shoot in Mumbai to stay near family.

Overview

  • The couple shared a brief Instagram post on Saturday, September 19, 2026, showing a tiny footprint and the caption “Welcome baby girl” to confirm the arrival of their second daughter.
  • The announcement followed a pattern from 2024 with Ranveer visiting Lalbaugcha Raja on September 17 and the family visiting Siddhivinayak Temple on September 18 to seek blessings ahead of the birth.
  • Ranveer used the festival visits to say he will support the education of 1,000 girls through the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, linking the family milestone to a public philanthropic pledge.
  • To remain close to Deepika during the pregnancy, Ranveer relocated work plans so his film Pralay is shooting in Mumbai rather than Australia, according to reports.
  • Friends and film colleagues quickly sent congratulations on social media and the couple continue to keep their elder daughter Dua largely out of the public eye while sharing only occasional family glimpses.
