Deepika Padukone has always been one of the most loved stars in India. She is known for her strong roles in films and her honest nature in real life.
After becoming a mother, Deepika has shared one of her sweetest secrets. She says she wanted to be a mother long before Dua was born.
In a recent chat, Deepika said that her dream of becoming a mom started many years ago when her younger sister Anisha was born. “When Anisha came into my life, I felt something change in me. I wanted to take care of her all the time. Maybe that’s when I first felt like a mother,” Deepika said with a smile.
A New Chapter for Deepika and Ranveer
About a year ago, Deepika and Ranveer Singh welcomed their baby girl, Dua. The couple has not shared many pictures. They have preferred to keep Dua away from the limelight.
Deepika has taken a small break from work to spend more time with her daughter. She wants to be there for every small moment. Be it Dua’s first smile, her first sound or her first step. She also baked a special cake for baby Dua on her first birthday.
Deepika has always been close to her family. Her parents, Prakash and Ujjala Padukone, taught her and Anisha to stay humble and value relationships. Now, Deepika is passing the same values to her daughter.
The Motherhood
Deepika says being a mom is the most beautiful feeling in the world. But it is not always easy.
“There are nights when I don’t sleep at all. There are days when I feel tired. But then I see Dua’s smile, and everything feels worth it,” she shared.
Many new mothers can relate to what she said. Motherhood brings both joy and challenges
Ranveer’s Proud Moments
Ranveer Singh is now a proud and emotional dad. In an interview, he said, “When I see Deepika with Dua, my heart just melts. She is such a natural mother.”
Keeping Dua Away from the Spotlight
Even though Deepika and Ranveer are superstars, they have decided to keep their daughter’s life private. They don’t want Dua to grow up under the pressure of fame.
Deepika once said, “I want my child to have a normal childhood. I want her to discover who she is without the world watching.”
That thought shows how grounded Deepika is. She may live a glamorous life. But when it comes to family, she believes in simple and real things.
From Sister to Mother
Years ago, she held her little sister Anisha in her arms with love and care. Today, she holds her baby Dua with the same warmth.
Deepika’s dream of becoming a mother started quietly when she was still a young girl. And now, that dream has finally come true.
