Digital Desk
Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh surprised fans with the most precious Diwali gift on October 21, 2025 – the first glimpse of their adorable daughter, Dua Padukone Singh. The power couple shared heartwarming family pictures on Instagram, revealing their baby girl's face for the first time since her birth in September 2024.
In the beautiful family photos, the mother-daughter duo twinned in stunning red Sabyasachi outfits, while Ranveer complemented them in an elegant ivory kurta, bandhgala and pyjama set. Little Dua, with her cute pigtails and bright smile, looked absolutely adorable as she rested comfortably in her parents' arms. The couple captioned their post with "Diwali ki hardik shubhkamnayein" (Heartfelt wishes for Diwali), along with smiling and evil eye emojis.
The final picture in the carousel showed a touching moment of Deepika performing Laxmi Puja with baby Dua sitting on her lap. The doting mother was seen folding Dua's tiny hands together in prayer as they celebrated the festival of lights.
Bollywood Celebrities Shower Love and Blessings
The adorable pictures immediately went viral, receiving overwhelming reactions from both fans and Bollywood celebrities. Priyanka Chopra sent her blessings by commenting "God bless," while Rajkummar Rao wrote "So Cute. God Bless you guys".
Singer Shreya Ghoshal gushed, "God bless. Baby Dua is a perfect mix of mumma and papa. Happy Diwali to the beautiful family". Ananya Panday couldn't contain her excitement, commenting "Oh my god," while Bipasha Basu noted the resemblance, writing "Wow Dua like mini mamma. God bless Dua. Durga Durga".
Other celebrities including Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sonam Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Huma Qureshi, Bhumi Pednekar, and Soni Razdan also showered their love on the family with heart emojis and warm wishes.
Fans Spot Resemblance to Parents
Social media users immediately began comparing Dua's features with her famous parents. A viral collage featuring Deepika's childhood photo alongside Dua's recent picture showed both mother and daughter posing with their fingers in their mouths, displaying identical mischievous expressions. Many fans dubbed Dua as "Deepika 2.0" due to the striking resemblance.
However, opinions remain divided, with some fans believing Dua looks more like her father Ranveer, while others see her as a perfect mix of both parents. Fans noted that while Dua has Deepika's eyes and dimples, she carries her father's distinctive features and smile.
Journey from Love to Parenthood
Deepika and Ranveer's love story began in 2012 on the sets of "Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela". After dating for nearly six years, they tied the knot in November 2018 at Lake Como, Italy, in an intimate ceremony following both Sindhi and Konkani rituals. Their daughter Dua was born on September 8, 2024, making this Diwali celebration extra special for the new parents.
The couple had been fiercely protective of their daughter's privacy since her birth, requesting media not to click Dua's pictures until they were ready to introduce her to the world. This Diwali face reveal marks the first time the actors have officially shared their family life with fans, making it a truly memorable occasion for everyone.
