Deepika Padukone is one of Bollywood’s most acclaimed actresses. She made her debut in 2006 with the Kannada film Aishwarya, and a year later, starred in her Bollywood debut Om Shanti Om directed by Farah Khan. Over the years, she has gained immense popularity with films like Piku, Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani. Her fans always show unwavering love for her work.
On the personal front, Deepika married Ranveer Singh in November 2018 after dating for several years. In February 2024, they announced that they were expecting their first child. Contrary to speculation that her career might slow down, Deepika completed filming Singham Again and actively promoted Kalki AD 2898 while pregnant.
Choosing Between Babies and Movies
During an appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 6 alongside Alia Bhatt, Deepika was asked to pick between babies and movies during the rapid-fire round.
Her witty response won hearts as she simply said, “Both,” adding, “Babies while doing movies.”
Stepping Away from Work to Focus on Motherhood
According to reports, Deepika Padukone might take a break from her professional commitments after the birth of her child. A report from Times Now suggested that she turned down an offer for the third season of The White Lotus to focus on being a hands-on mother. She reportedly plans to handle all parenting duties herself and will not hire nannies or even involve Ranveer much in the day-to-day care.
On February 29, 2024, Deepika and Ranveer shared the exciting news of their pregnancy via a joint Instagram post. The announcement melted the hearts of their fans, featuring adorable baby-themed illustrations and a note revealing that their baby is expected in September 2024.
