4 Mar – After previous speculations that she may be eating for two now, Deepika Padukone and husband Ranveer Singh finally confirmed news of her pregnancy. The two shared the good news on social media with an illustration of baby rompers, shoes and rattles, with the word "September 2024" written in the middle, to signify the month of their baby's upcoming birth. She captioned it with a nazar amulet and folded hands emoji to convey the notion of protection from negative energies.
Fans and friends alike took to the comments to congratulate the two, including Bipasha Basu, Kajol, Malaika Arora and Kareena Kapoor - the latter who wrote, "Welcome to the best phase of your life." Speculations of pregnancy sparked after Deepika appeared to be covering her midriff from view during her appearance at the BAFTAs last fortnight. The actress and her "Bajirao Mastani" co-star tied the knot in Italy back in 2018.
