The couple shared the joyful news with fans and well-wishers via a joint social media post on Saturday evening, September 19, 2026—a date that coincided with the auspicious festival of Radha Ashtami. Sharing a minimalist announcement card featuring a newborn's tiny footprint, the note read:
“Welcome baby girl, 19.09.2026. - Dua, Deepika & Ranveer”
The birth marks another major personal milestone for the duo, arriving almost exactly two years after they welcomed their firstborn daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, in September 2024.
Continuing Tradition: Siddhivinayak Darshan Ahead of Delivery Following the exact tradition they observed prior to Dua’s arrival in September 2024, the couple visited Mumbai’s iconic Siddhivinayak Temple on Friday, September 18, just 24 hours before welcoming their newborn:
The Family Darshan: Accompanied by Ranveer’s parents, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani and Anju Bhavnani, the couple offered prayers for health and auspicious beginnings.
September as a Sacred Month: September has evolved into a uniquely festive corridor for the household—anchoring the birth month of both their daughters. Just days earlier, the couple had celebrated Dua’s second birthday by unveiling intimate black-and-white portraits from their maternity shoot.
