King, scheduled for 2026, pairs Deepika Padukone with Shah Rukh Khan, while Raaka features Allu Arjun and targets audiences across India. Both projects rank among the country’s most talked-about ongoing films, making Deepika’s decision to keep working during pregnancy closely watched within the industry and among fans.
The couple’s journey into parenthood began with a surprise post on 29 February 2024, when they revealed the first pregnancy. That message showed tiny baby items in soft pink and blue shades. Their daughter arrived in September 2024, and was later introduced during Diwali through photos and her name reveal.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh chose the name Dua for their daughter, sharing that it carries a special meaning. The name “Dua” means “prayer,” reflecting how significant the child is for the family. During that period, Deepika balanced new motherhood while Ranveer Singh concentrated on rebuilding a career graph.

While Deepika adjusted to life with Dua, Ranveer Singh starred in Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar. The film crossed Rs 1,000 crore worldwide on 26 December 2025, becoming Ranveer’s first title to reach that mark and closing with more than Rs 1,300 crore globally, making it 2025’s highest-grossing Indian release.
The follow-up, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, expanded that success and has earned over Rs 1,730 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 so far. These box office milestones ran parallel to Deepika’s experiences as a new parent, and now coincide with preparations for another baby and two major shoots.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s relationship began on the set of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, where they met and started dating in August 2012. They announced plans to marry in October 2018 and held ceremonies the next month at Lake Como, Italy, following Konkani Hindu rituals and a Sikh Anand Karaj.
