About Deepika Padukone
On April 19, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh announced that they are expecting their second child in a joint Instagram post. Sharing the news, the couple posted a picture of their daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test.
As of 2026, the actress is actively shooting for her upcoming high-profile films King alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Raaka opposite Allu Arjun while managing her second pregnancy.
In the past, Deepika Padukone has been vocal about balancing her personal life and career. She also found herself in the middle of a debate and controversy after she walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit over the demand of an eight-hour work shift while balancing motherhood and work. Her stance sparked widespread industry debate and reportedly led to her exit from high-profile from Spirit as well as Kalki 2.
