Actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have announced they are expecting their first child. The couple shared a simple post with the due date – September 2024 – and baby-related icons.

The announcement comes weeks after her appearance at the BAFTAs recently. Deepika, who was a presenter at the award show, wore a saree and appeared to be making an effort to keep her stomach covered.

The comments thread on Deepika’s post exploded instantly. Priyanka Chopra, who co-starred with the couple in Bajirao Mastani and worked with Ranveer Singh in Dil Dhadakne Do and Gunday, wrote, “Mubarak” along with a heart emoji. Deepika’s Chhapaak co-star Vikrant Massey wrote, “Bahut bahut shubhkamnaen.” Sonakshi Sinha wrote, “Your best production yet.” “Congratulations,” wrote Kriti Sanon and Sonam Kapoor. Varun Dhawan shared a series of hearts. “Welcome to the best hood ever,” wrote mom-of-two Neha Dhupia.

Deepika and Ranveer got married in 2018 after dating for a few years.

Deepika Padukone was last seen in Fighter with Hrithik Roshan. She has two big films coming up – Kalki 2898 AD with Prabhas, and Singham Returns with Rohit Shetty.
