Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh ignited social media this Diwali by revealing the face of their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, in a stunning family photo series that captured pure festive magic, marking the infant’s public debut exactly six weeks after her birth on September 8, 2024, at Mumbai’s HN Reliance Hospital, where the couple had enforced a strict no-face policy with paparazzi to protect her privacy until this carefully curated moment.
Dressed in synchronized traditional attire, Ranveer exuded understated elegance in an ivory kurta-pajama set with a textured coat and ornate neckpiece, while Deepika radiated grace in a flowing red anarkali suit adorned with statement jewelry and a crimson bindi, cradling baby Dua—who twinned with her mother in a miniature red outfit—her tiny hands clutching a diya as her bright eyes and chubby smile melted millions of hearts across the globe in seconds.
The photo carousel progressed from warm family embraces under strings of marigold flowers and glowing oil lamps to an intimate mother-daughter ritual, with Deepika gently guiding Dua’s fingers over a silver puja tray during the Lakshmi worship, a poignant symbol of blessings and new beginnings that resonated deeply with fans who showered the post with over 2.5 million likes and thousands of emotional comments within the first hour.

Celebrities including Hansika Motwani, Rajkummar Rao, Ananya Panday, and Rhea Kapoor flooded the comments with heartfelt messages—“So cute,” “God bless,” “Oh my god”—turning the post into a virtual celebration, while fans declared Dua the “cutest Diwali gift ever,” ending months of speculation fueled by blurred paparazzi shots and cryptic hospital exit photos.
The reveal comes as the couple, married since November 14, 2018, in a dreamy Lake Como ceremony blending Konkani and Sindhi traditions, embrace parenthood with intention—Ranveer pausing high-profile promotions for Singham Again to prioritize family, and Deepika preparing for a powerful cameo in the same film post-maternity leave—proving that beyond blockbuster stardom, their most cherished role is lighting up their daughter’s first festival with love, tradition, and unfiltered joy.
