Earlier this year, Deepika and Ranveer announced that they were expecting their second child. The couple shared a joint post on Instagram featuring their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, holding a positive pregnancy test while both parents lovingly placed their hands around her. Deepika kept the announcement simple, captioning the post only with evil eye emojis.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Deepika revealed that motherhood has made her more patient. She said, “It pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you a social person; I’ve never been a social person. Having to interact with other parents, and now playschool, motherhood just pushes you out of your comfort zone in a good way.”
