In a heartwarming Diwali celebration, Bollywood superstars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh revealed the face of their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, for the first time. The couple, who welcomed Dua on September 8, 2024, had previously kept their daughter away from the public eye, generating immense anticipation among fans.
The reveal came in a series of festive family photographs posted on social media, quickly going viral and sparking widespread admiration. The pictures show the family dressed in traditional attire, posing amid colorful Diwali decorations. Deepika looked stunning in a deep red suit, complemented by kundan jewelry and a "gajra" in her hair, while Dua twinned with her mother in a cute mini-suit of the same shade. Ranveer sported an off-white ensemble with a pearl necklace and tinted shades. In one of the pictures, Dua is seen sitting on Deepika's lap while they participate in Diwali prayers.
The social media post was captioned with Diwali greetings. Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with love and blessings. Celebrities like Ananya Panday, Rajkummar Rao, Bipasha Basu, and Rhea Kapoor expressed their adoration for the family and little Dua.
The name Dua, meaning "prayer," was revealed by the couple last November. They explained that the name reflects their belief that she is the answer to their prayers. Deepika shared that they took two months to choose the name, wanting to first observe her personality. The idea for the name came to them in the middle of the night while Ranveer was away on a shoot.
Since Dua's arrival, Ranveer has mentioned that Deepika's life revolves around their daughter, with everything else taking a secondary position. Deepika and Ranveer remain committed to giving their daughter a normal upbringing, balancing their fame with a grounded life. Deepika has stated her desire for Dua to have the same normal childhood she had, unburdened by her parents' fame.
The unveiling of Dua's face has been one of the most heartwarming moments of the year in Bollywood. The family's Diwali celebration offered a glimpse into their glamorous life, with Deepika's net worth estimated at Rs 500 crore, including luxury homes and cars.
On the professional front, Ranveer is preparing for the release of "Dhurandhar" and has other projects in the pipeline, including Aditya Dhar's next film and Farhan Akhtar's "Don 3". Deepika was last seen in "Singham Again".
