Yes, you read that right! Ranveer Singh ( dua ke papa ) and Deepika Padukone have named their daughter Dua. The name humorously ties back to a famous red-haired girl named Dua from Pakistan, known for her cute and funny reels where her mother calls her father “Dua ke papa.” It also brings a smile with a nod to Dua Lipa, connecting pop culture to their new family joy.

Some folks are questioning why they chose Dua instead of “Prarthna,” considering Dua is a Muslim name, and neither of them follows that faith.

Deepika took to social media to share the first photo of their adorable daughter, giving fans a glimpse of her tiny feet. Her caption read, “Dua Padukone Singh | दुआ पादुकोण सिंह ‘Dua’: meaning a Prayer. Because She is the Answer to our Prayers.” It’s clear that Dua is a cherished addition, and Deepika expressed gratitude, saying, “Our hearts are filled with Love & Gratitude. Deepika & Ranveer.”

The post went viral, racking up millions of likes and comments. Celebrities and fans showered the Dua ke papa and mummy with love and blessings, with the likes of Shoojit Sircar, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Karan Johar leading the congratulations.
