Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh Welcome Second Baby Girl; Kriti Sanon Says Dua Has a Baby Sister

Mumbai: Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have become parents for the second time. The couple welcomed a baby girl on September 19, 2026, and announced the arrival through a joint social-media post, confirming that their daughter Dua is now a big sister.

The announcement was deliberately simple. Deepika and Ranveer shared an image featuring a newborn baby's footprint along with the words “Welcome Baby Girl” and the date 19.9.2026. The names “Dua, Deepika and Ranveer” appeared at the bottom of the announcement. The couple did not reveal the newborn's name in the post.

The news was followed by congratulatory messages from several members of the Hindi film industry, including Kriti Sanon, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and others.

Kriti Sanon Celebrates Dua Becoming a Big Sister

Among the first celebrity reactions was one from Kriti Sanon, who congratulated the couple and specifically celebrated the arrival of Dua's younger sister.

Sanon wrote that Dua now has a baby sister and described the new arrival as a blessing. Her comment was posted beneath the couple's announcement and was subsequently reported by multiple publications.

Anil Kapoor also joined the celebrations, commenting with congratulations and a message about having daughters. Vicky Kaushal, Shreya Ghoshal, Angad Bedi and several other celebrities also shared their wishes for the family.

The reactions have made one detail particularly clear: while the newborn's name has not yet been announced, her arrival has already been publicly celebrated as the newest addition to the Padukone-Singh family.

Dua Padukone Singh Is Now a Big Sister

The couple's first daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, was born on September 8, 2024. Her birth was announced by Deepika and Ranveer through a similar “Welcome Baby Girl” post.

The couple later revealed her name as Dua in November 2024.

Nearly two years later, Dua has officially entered a new chapter as an elder sister.

The timing is also notable. Both of Deepika and Ranveer's daughters have been born in September, with Dua arriving on September 8, 2024, and the couple's second daughter arriving on September 19, 2026.

From Pregnancy Announcement to the Birth of Their Second Daughter

Deepika and Ranveer had announced the second pregnancy on April 19, 2026.

Instead of making a conventional pregnancy announcement, the couple shared a photograph featuring Dua holding a positive pregnancy test. The image served as their confirmation that the family was preparing to welcome another child.

The announcement also established Dua's upcoming role as a big sister.

Over the following months, the couple largely kept their family life private while occasionally sharing glimpses with followers. In September, they released photographs from a maternity shoot featuring Deepika, Ranveer and Dua together.

The family was also seen visiting Mumbai's Siddhivinayak Temple shortly before the birth. Reports published after the announcement said Deepika and Ranveer visited the temple on September 18, a day before announcing the arrival of their daughter.

The Couple Has Kept the Newborn's Identity Private

One detail that should not be overlooked is what Deepika and Ranveer have not announced.

The couple's September 19 post confirms that their second child is a girl, but it does not disclose her name. The announcement also does not show the baby's face.

Therefore, any name circulating online should currently be treated as unconfirmed unless and until the family makes an official announcement.

This approach is consistent with how the couple handled Dua's arrival. They initially announced their first daughter's birth without revealing her name, later introducing “Dua” publicly.

A New Chapter for Deepika and Ranveer

Deepika and Ranveer married in November 2018 after working together on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. Their professional collaborations subsequently included Bajirao Mastani and 83.

Their family has since become an important part of their public story, although both actors have generally controlled how much they reveal about their children.

The arrival of their second daughter now expands the family from three to four.

For Ranveer, the news also comes during a busy professional period following his work in the Dhurandhar franchise. Aditya Dhar, who directed the films, was among the industry figures whose reaction to the announcement was noted by social-media users, although the couple's own birth announcement remains the primary confirmation of the news.

Deepika, meanwhile, has several major projects associated with her upcoming slate, including King, directed by Siddharth Anand and featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The significance of this announcement goes beyond another celebrity birth announcement.

Deepika and Ranveer have handled both of their pregnancy journeys with a clear balance between public celebration and personal privacy. The September 19 post gives audiences the essential news a baby girl has arrived without turning the newborn into a public spectacle.

The most immediate change is within the family itself: Dua is now a big sister.

Kriti Sanon's reaction captured that change directly, while the couple's understated announcement kept the focus on the family's happiness rather than on unnecessary details.

For now, the identity and name of the newborn remain private. Until Deepika and Ranveer choose to share more, the confirmed story is simply that their second daughter was born on September 19, 2026, and that their family has grown by one.

Sources & Verification

This report was independently prepared using Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's September 19, 2026 joint announcement as the primary confirmation of the birth .The April 2026 pregnancy announcement was separately cross-checked against contemporaneous coverage.

The newborn's name has not been treated as confirmed, because it was not included in the couple's September 19 announcement. Celebrity comments have been attributed to the publicly reported reactions rather than presented as independent facts.
