"After becoming a mother, Deepika said – My dreams, my career, and…"

Here's the English translation of the passage:

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone welcomed a baby girl in September last year. Recently becoming a new mother, Deepika participated in the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit 2025. She said that she had always wanted to be a mother and is enjoying every moment of it. Deepika shared that after becoming a mother, she is now discovering this new phase of her life. She said that once you become a mother, the child comes before you.

What is Deepika’s life like after becoming a mother?
Deepika said, "After becoming a mother, I’m exploring this new life of mine. The moment you become a mother, you’re responsible for another human being—especially considering the way I’ve lived my life so far, it’s always been about me—leaving home, my dreams, my career, everything was about my life and everything I wanted for myself. And now, suddenly, you're taking care of this little being who depends on you for everything."

Deepika said – I always wanted to be a mother
Deepika further said, "I always wanted to be a mother, and I’m enjoying every moment of it. But at the same time, I’m also trying to understand what this new life will be like for me after becoming a mom. That person (the child) comes before you. I don’t think I’ve found the answer to that yet."

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed their daughter, Dua Padukone, on September 8, 2024. The couple got married in 2018.
