Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have shared joyous news with their fans – they are expecting their first child in September this year. The Bollywood power couple took to Instagram on Thursday to announce the exciting news, triggering a flood of congratulatory messages from their fellow celebrities.
Among those who showered love and well-wishes on the soon-to-be parents were prominent figures from the film industry, including Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, and Vikrant Massey, along with a host of others. The heartwarming reactions came pouring in as Deepika and Ranveer shared a delightful image on their joint Instagram post, featuring pink and blue baby clothes and toys alongside the caption ‘September 2024.’
Expressing her happiness, Priyanka Chopra wrote, “Mubarak (Congratulations),” while Sonam Kapoor added her congratulations with a heart emoji. Fashion designer-actor Masaba Gupta chimed in with, “Congratulations… best news ever!” Actor Vikrant Massey shared his excitement by saying, “OMGGGGGGG!!!! Bahut bahut shubhkamnaen aap dono ko (Many, many congratulations to both of you)!!!”
Sonakshi Sinha couldn’t contain her joy, commenting, “Your best production yet!!!! So so happy for you both… congratulations.” Kriti Sanon exclaimed, “Omg (oh my God)!!!! Congratulations you two!!!” Mira Rajput expressed her delight with a bunch of red heart emojis, while Neha Dhupia warmly welcomed the couple to parenthood, saying, “Congratulations guys!

Deepika Padukone’s desire to embrace motherhood was evident earlier this year when she spoke about her aspirations in an interview with Vogue Singapore. She expressed her eagerness to start a family with Ranveer Singh, emphasizing their shared love for children. Deepika also reflected on the importance of family values instilled by her upbringing, emphasizing her intention to pass on the same grounding principles to her future children.
The announcement comes amidst celebrations of the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary, which they marked last November in Belgium. Deepika and Ranveer, who tied the knot on November 14, 2018, at Italy’s Lake Como, have been together for over six years since meeting on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela. Their journey together has seen them collaborate on several successful projects, including Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat.
As Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh embark on this new chapter in their lives, they continue to receive an outpouring of love and blessings from fans and well-wishers across the globe.
