Two years ago, on September 6, 2024, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone walked into the Siddhivinayak Temple just 48 hours before their daughter Dua entered the world. Today, they are back in the same corridor, flanked by Ranveer’s parents, as the due date for their second child looms over Mumbai’s celebrity circles. The timing is no accident. It is a ritual, a quiet anchor before the chaos of new parenthood hits full force.
The couple arrived in modest, earthy tones—Deepika in an orange and purple kurta set, Ranveer in a matching purple kurta with white trousers. There were no paparazzi frenzies, no red carpets. Just a family unit seeking blessings at one of the city’s most crowded shrines. It is a stark contrast to the glossy maternity shoot they recently released, where the internet spent hours analyzing the facial similarities between baby Dua and her father.
This visit follows Ranveer’s solo pilgrimage to the Lalbaugcha Raja temple the previous morning, where he was spotted in a pink kurta, hands folded before the idol. Social media users immediately noted the shift in his public demeanor, describing it as "mature" and "composed." The internet loves a redemption arc, but this one feels more like a simple, grounded transition into fatherhood number two.
The couple announced the pregnancy on April 19, sharing a picture of Dua holding a positive test kit. Since then, the timeline has been tight. With Dua turning two on September 8, the arrival of sibling is imminent. The family, which began on the sets of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela in 2013, is now navigating the quiet, sacred hours before the next chapter begins.
