Deepika and Ranveer shared a picture of a positive pregnancy test on Instagram without a caption, using only two evil-eye emojis, traditionally associated with protection from negative energy.Deepika had welcomed her first child at 38. In an interview after embracing motherhood, the actor opened up about the challenges she faced during her pregnancy and delivery. “I went through a lot in the eight, nine months of being pregnant,” she said.Speaking about motherhood after Dua’s birth, Deepika said, “One hundred per cent. Every cliche is true. When mothers say, ‘You’ll understand when you become one,’ it’s true. I have so much more respect for my mother now.”She also reflected on how the realities of motherhood can differ from what one plans for. According to Deepika, a woman may have an idea of how she wants to navigate motherhood, but things can often unfold differently once she actually experiences it.“I feel strongly about how new mothers need to be supported when they return to work. That’s something I want to focus on,” she said.
