Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh expecting first child

Bollywood actor couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are reportedly expecting their first child.

An Indian media outlet citing a source said that Deepika is in her second trimester. There were speculations that Deepika may be pregnant after her appearance at the BAFTA red carpet.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika tied the knot on November 14, 2018, at Italy’s Lake Como after dating for six years.

They first met on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic film Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela. They later also starred in Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. Last year in November, Ranveer and Deepika celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Belgium.

In January this year, Deepika was asked if becoming a mother ‘is something she looks forward to’. She replied, “Absolutely. Ranveer and I love children. We look forward to the day when we will start our own family.”

Talking about her parents, she said, “When I meet the people I have grown up with — my aunts, uncles, family friends — they always mention how I haven’t changed one bit. That says a lot about our upbringing… In this industry, it’s easy to get carried away by fame and money. But no one treats me like a celebrity at home. I am a daughter and a sister first. I don’t want that to change. My family keeps me grounded and Ranveer and I hope to inculcate the same values in our children.”

Deepika was recently seen in the aerial action thriller film Fighter opposite Hrithik Roshan. She will be next seen in the sci-fi action thriller film Kalki 2898 AD alongside Prabhas and will hit the theatres on May 9, 2024.

Ranveer will be seen reprising his role of Simmba in Rohit Shetty’s cop drama Singham Again. It also stars Deepika, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. Ranveer will also headline Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3, which will arrive in 2025.
