Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have entered a new phase of parenthood after welcoming their second child, a baby girl, on September 19. The couple, who already have a daughter, Dua, are now parents to two children. Amid the celebrations, an old comment from Deepika has resurfaced on social media. Years before she became a mother, the actor had spoken about her idea of family life and revealed that she once imagined having three children.
Deepika Padukone once spoke about a three-child family
During a 2013 roundtable conversation with Rajeev Masand, Deepika was asked what her life might have looked like had she not chosen acting as a career. While she admitted she was unsure about what profession she would have pursued, she had a clear picture of the kind of family she hoped to have.Deepika said she wanted to continue working while also having children around her, even picturing a home filled with three little ones.“If I was not an actor, I don’t know what I would’ve been doing. But hopefully with some children around. Three little kids scuttling about. Hopefully, be working enough to take them to shoots, have a happy family. And at the same time, still doing what I’m doing.”The old statement has now drawn attention again as Deepika and Ranveer welcome their second child.
Ranveer Singh had said the decision would mostly be Deepika’s
Ranveer Singh had also discussed the possibility of having children after the couple got married. Speaking at the India Economic Conclave, the actor was asked about starting a family and made it clear that Deepika would have an important say in the decision.“It’s not my call really. Partly yes, it’s my call but mostly it’s just her and I allow her that. I allow her to make most of the decisions because she is better at everything. I have no qualms in admitting that she is a much more mature, much more evolved person than me.”His comments reflected his view that the decision around starting a family should largely rest with Deepika.

Deepika also spoke about the subject during a 2025 conversation with Marie Claire while discussing the expectations women often face regarding marriage and motherhood. During the conversation, she remembered something Ranveer had told her about the decision to have children.“He was like, “It’s your body. Yes, it’s a together decision, but eventually it’s your body that’s going to go through it. So whenever you feel ready’.”The comment resurfaced alongside Deepika’s earlier remarks about wanting children, offering a glimpse into conversations the couple had around parenthood.
