The news comes a day after Deepika and Ranveer visited Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple to seek blessings ahead of the birth of their second child.

Following the announcement, several Bollywood celebrities congratulated the couple. Actor Kriti Kharbanda wrote, “Congratulations!” while fashion designer Masaba Gupta commented, “Two girls! What more does one ask for.”

Neha Dhupia extended her wishes, writing, “Congratulations … may all of you, always be blessed.” Sonam Kapoor also congratulated the couple, calling the news “a dream”, while Ranveer’s “Dil Dhadakne Do” co-star Anil Kapoor wrote, “Congratulations. Girls are the best.”

Deepika and Ranveer had announced their second pregnancy earlier this year through a photograph of Dua holding a pregnancy test showing two pink lines.

Earlier this month, the couple shared a series of black-and-white photographs from their maternity shoot to mark Dua’s second birthday on September 8. The photographs featured Deepika, Ranveer and their daughter, with the actress showing her baby bump.

Sharing the photographs, Ranveer wrote, “Baby Dua and our hearts are getting bigger! Thank you for your blessings!”

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Dua, on September 8, 2024. They announced her birth through a joint social media post and revealed her name in November that year.

Deepika and Ranveer had also visited Siddhivinayak Temple shortly before Dua’s birth in 2024. Continuing the tradition, the couple returned to the temple ahead of welcoming their second daughter.

The couple have yet to reveal the name of their newborn daughter.
