Deepika Padukone is shooting for her upcoming film while pregnant with her second child, a fact confirmed by the actress and her husband Ranveer Singh on social media last week.
The couple announced the news through a shared Instagram post showing their elder daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test kit, confirming the arrival of their second child. This comes nearly two years after the birth of their twins in September 2024, marking a rapid return to parenthood for the Bollywood pair.
Despite her pregnancy, Padukone continues to operate on set, most recently under the direction of Punith Mallahotra, who praised her professionalism after she shared a photo from the shoot of her film ‘Raaka’. The director highlighted her commitment, noting that she is balancing her maternal journey with ongoing film commitments.
The film ‘Raaka’, which also features Allu Arjun, is scheduled to begin shooting in May, indicating that Padukone intends to remain active in her career throughout her pregnancy. This mirrors her approach during her first pregnancy, when she maintained work engagements until later stages.
Padukone and Singh, who married in November 2018 after a six-year courtship, have often been subject to public scrutiny regarding their age difference. However, verified details show that the age gap between them is minimal — Ranveer Singh will turn 41 on July 6, 2026, while Deepika Padukone turned 40 in January 2026, placing their age difference at just five to six months.
Their relationship began in 2012 at an award function, deepened during the filming of ‘Ram-Leela’ in 2013, and culminated in an engagement proposal by Singh in 2015 before their private wedding in Italy. Both remain actively engaged in their respective projects, with Singh recently celebrating the success of ‘Simmba 2’ and preparing for his next venture.
Industry observers note that Padukone’s decision to work during pregnancy challenges outdated perceptions about maternal capability in entertainment, echoing similar conversations when she continued filming during her first pregnancy with twins in 2024.
Her sustained visibility on sets, even while expecting, reinforces a broader shift in how female leads navigate motherhood and stardom in Indian cinema — a trajectory that has drawn both support and unnecessary speculation, particularly around her personal life.
