Deepika Padukone’s sister, Anisha Padukone, reveals baby Dua’s adorable nickname; take a look
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s post featuring their daughter Dua melted hearts everywhere but it was sister Anisha Padukone’s comment that stole the show
Bollywood fans had been waiting for this moment with bated breath — the first glimpse of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s baby girl. And this Diwali, the couple finally obliged. On the festival of lights, Deepika and Ranveer introduced the world to their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, sharing a set of beautiful family pictures that instantly lit up the internet.
Dressed in matching Sabyasachi outfits, the trio looked straight out of a dream. Deepika and Dua twinned in maroon kurta sets adorned with traditional jewellery, while Ranveer donned an all-white ensemble paired with sunglasses and layered accessories. The heartwarming pictures also captured the family performing a Diwali puja, with little Dua sitting on her mother’s lap, her tiny bindi and two pigtails stealing the show.
Deepika, 39, kept her caption simple and festive: “Heartfelt wishes of Diwali.” The post quickly went viral, amassing millions of impressions as fans and celebrities — including Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Katrina Kaif — filled the comments with love.
But the sweetest moment came from Deepika’s sister, Anisha Padukone, whose affectionate comment revealed Dua’s adorable nickname. She wrote, “This little piece of my heart, my Tingu,” and the internet collectively melted. Fans couldn’t get enough of the endearing name, flooding the comments with heart emojis and calling it “the cutest thing ever.”
Deepika and Ranveer's relationship
Deepika and Ranveer, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed Dua on September 8, 2024. The couple had previously shared her name last Diwali, explaining its beautiful meaning: “Dua: meaning a prayer. Because she is the answer to our prayers.” Until now, they had kept their daughter away from public attention, requesting privacy from photographers.
