<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Ranveer and Deepika are expecting their second child</h2><p>Earlier this month, the couple shared a joint Instagram post announcing their second pregnancy. Deepika shared a picture of her daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, holding a pregnancy test showing two distinct pink lines, a universal symbol of a positive result. Both Ranveer and Deepika’s hands can be seen gently holding their daughter. Deepika captioned the post with just evil eye emojis.</p>

And now she is also nurturing new talents. The Padmaavat actress will now be providing a platform to aspiring technicians from all the departments, including writing, direction, camera, lighting, editing, sound design, art direction, costume designer, hair stylist, make-up artist, and production.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Deepika announced the new initiative on Instagram and said, “Last year I put out a video about collaborating with all of you. We received some incredible entries, but that also got me thinking and strangely coincided with a phase in my life where I was ready to give back to the very industry that has given me so much. This past year, I've been feeling very strongly about identifying incredible creative talent from across the country and beyond and giving them a platform to be seen, heard and experienced. So here I am with a 2.0 version of Create With Me, and our very first program under Create With Me is the ONSET program, an experiential learning program for technicians across all departments wanting to build a career in Indian film and television."&nbsp;</p>

Deepika Padukone, one of the biggest stars of Bollywood, is celebrating her 40th birthday with a special project. On Monday, as she celebrates her milestone birthday, the actress announced her passion project- The OnSet Program- that will help train next generation of creative talent. Deepika also not just an actress, but also a producer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. And now she is also nurturing new talents. The Padmaavat actress will now be providing a platform to aspiring technicians from all the departments, including writing, direction, camera, lighting, editing, sound design, art direction, costume designer, hair stylist, make-up artist, and production. Deepika announced the new initiative on Instagram and said, “Last year I put out a video about collaborating with all of you. We received some incredible entries, but that also got me thinking and strangely coincided with a phase in my life where I was ready to give back to the very industry that has given me so much. This past year, I've been feeling very strongly about identifying incredible creative talent from across the country and beyond and giving them a platform to be seen, heard and experienced. So here I am with a 2.0 version of Create With Me, and our very first program under Create With Me is the ONSET program, an experiential learning program for technicians across all departments wanting to build a career in Indian film and television."

<h2>Who is Anisha Padukone?</h2><p>Anisha, daughter of badminton legend Prakash Padukone and Ujjala Padukone, is a professional golfer and the CEO of Deepika's mental health foundation, Live Love Laugh.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Who is Rohan Acharya?</h2><p>Rohan Acharya, who is reportedly based in Dubai and is a businessman, has deep connections to Indian cinema. He is the son of Sumit Acharya and Chimoo Acharya. From his mother’s side, he is the great-grandson of legendary filmmaker Bimal Roy. Chimoo is the daughter of writer and columnist Rinki Roy Bhattacharya and filmmaker Basu Bhattacharya.</p>

Anisha, daughter of badminton legend Prakash Padukone and Ujjala Padukone, is a professional golfer and the CEO of Deepika's mental health foundation, Live Love Laugh.

Wedding bells will soon be ringing at the Padukone household if the reports are true. Deepika Padukone's youngest sister and athlete, Anisha Padukone, is reportedly all set to marry her long-time boyfriend, Rohan Acharya. Anisha, who is a professional golfer, has reportedly been dating Rohan, a Dubai-based businessman, for several years now. And if media reports are to be believed, they are engaged as well. However, neither of them is very active on social media, so they haven’t shared any comments on their relationship yet. Deepika Padukone's sister Anisha's wedding: How it connects her to the Deol family If reports are true, Deepika's sister and Rohan are set to tie the knot in the coming months. However, neither family has confirmed the news. But if this union happens, Anisha’s extended family will be connected to another influential Bollywood family, the Deols. For the unversed, Rohan is the brother of Drisha Acharya, who is married to Karan Deol, son of Sunny Deol and grandson of veteran actor Dharmendra. So Rohan is the brother-in-law of Sunny’s son, and in the future, if Anisha marries him, she, her family, and her sister Deepika Padukone will be distantly connected to the Deols. When it comes to Anisha and Rohan's love story, not much is known as both prefer to keep their lives private and away from the limelight. But from what is known, Anisha's brother-in-law Ranveer Singh might have played a major role in their union. Sunny’s son Karan and longtime girlfriend Drisha got married on June 18, 2023. Speaking of the wedding, a report by the Deccan Chronicle quoted a source who revealed that the Dhurandhar actor might have played cupid.
