Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh Prepare for Parenthood
Exciting Times Ahead for the Couple as September Approaches
In an eagerly anticipated moment for fans, Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh officially announced their pregnancy in February of this year. The news was shared on Instagram, revealing that their child is expected to arrive in September 2024. The couple’s announcement was met with widespread affection from their fellow actors, with notable figures such as Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja expressing their congratulations via social media. Throughout the months, Deepika has been spotted in public, proudly showcasing her baby bump while setting trends in maternity fashion.
According to exclusive details from News18 Showsha, sources close to the couple indicate that Deepika is looking forward to the arrival of their new family member. Reports suggest that if everything goes according to plan, Deepika will welcome her baby on September 28 at a hospital in South Bombay. Friends close to the couple mention they are in the midst of preparing their home for the new addition. Currently, Deepika is cherishing her maternity leave, enjoying this break from her professional commitments.
Looking ahead, Deepika has plans to return to work in 2025, taking time off to bond with her newborn during the early months of motherhood. The maternity leave is expected to extend through March of next year. After that, she is set to dive into filming the sequel to her previous project, Kalki, alongside esteemed actors Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Prabhas. Recent reports indicate that production for Kalki 2 is slated to begin in early 2025. Additionally, she intends to work on the Hindi adaptation of The Intern, co-starring with Bachchan as well.
While the couple is largely private about their lives, speculation regarding the gender of their child has been circulating. Recent social media activity heightened this curiosity when a gifting brand shared a post showing wrapped presents intended for Deepika. The elegantly packaged gifts, adorned with blue accents, sparked further conversations about the potential arrival of a baby boy.
Earlier in January, Deepika expressed her excitement about embracing parenthood in an interview with Vogue Singapore, stating, “Ranveer and I love children. We look forward to the day when we will start our own family… My family keeps me grounded, and Ranveer and I hope to inculcate the same values in our children.” The couple, who celebrated their union in a private wedding ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, after six years of dating, are entering this new chapter of their lives with joy and anticipation.
