In a heartwarming Diwali surprise, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have shared the first glimpse of their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, with the world. The power couple, who married in 2018, welcomed their daughter on September 8, 2024, and have since kept her away from the public eye. The wait ended on October 21, 2025, as the couple posted a series of adorable family photos on Instagram to celebrate the festival of lights.
The photos, captioned simply with "Deepavali ki hardik shubhkamnayein (Heartiest wishes of Diwali)", quickly went viral, drawing warm messages from fans and industry friends alike. The pictures show the family dressed in traditional attire, radiating festive cheer. Deepika is seen holding Dua close, both dressed in matching red outfits that reflected the spirit of Diwali. Ranveer stands beside them, wrapping his arms around his family and smiling tenderly at the camera.
Dua looked adorable in a red-hued angrakha kurta with salwar, her hair styled in two ponytails with red-hued rubber bands and a small bindi. In one of the photos, Dua is seen cutely putting her hands in her mouth. Another heartwarming photo shows Deepika helping her daughter fold her hands in prayer during their Diwali puja. Ranveer complemented the ladies in a cream kurta with rich floral embroidery, paired with a cream-colored waistcoat (bandhgala). In another photo, he is seen wearing a cream-toned sherwani with layers of beaded necklaces.
The post was immediately flooded with comments from celebrities such as Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Anushka Sharma, who showered the family with hearts and blessings. Fans couldn't stop admiring the peaceful and happy family, calling it one of the most endearing moments of the festive season.
Deepika and Ranveer have always been private about their personal life, carefully balancing their professional and personal commitments. Since Dua's arrival, they have been cautious about keeping her away from constant public attention. This Diwali reveal marks their first public family moment since becoming parents.
Deepika has been enjoying her "mom era" and has been a hands-on mommy. Despite her busy schedule and upcoming projects, it is clear that family time remains their top priority. The Diwali photos offer a rare, intimate look at their new life as parents, reminding everyone that the simplest gestures often create the most beautiful memories. This glimpse into their family celebrations has delighted fans, marking a joyous occasion for the couple and their followers.
