Deepika Padukone envisioned her ‘happy family’ with three kids, Ranveer Singh said he would ‘rather have a daughter’: ‘They’re so much nicer, kinder..’
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone shared a joint post on Thursday announcing their pregnancy. The couple tied the knot in 2018.

Actor-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have announced that they are expecting their first child. Through their Instagram post, the couple revealed that their baby was arriving in September 2024. Since their wedding in 2018, the couple has faced the inevitable question: “When will you start a family?” Despite this, they’ve consistently stressed their focus on career. However, they did express a desire to embrace parenthood in due time and also often spoke about their love for kids.
In an interview with Rajeev Masand, Deepika discussed her backup plans had she not pursued acting. The Pathaan actor had said, “If I was not an actor I don’t know what I would have 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 am doing.”
Deepika always had her priorities on point. Even before tying the knot with Ranveer, the actor was very keen on starting a family. At the Loreal event, Deepika said, “The one thing I have got to do before I die is definitely have lots of babies. That’s what I want to do. I know the importance of family. I mean it really complete me as a person. I want lots of children. I look at babies picture and I am like…I love kids.”

Ranveer has also expressed his desire to start a family on many occasions. He said on the show ‘The Big Picture,’ “Deepika was such a cute baby. I see her baby photos every day and tell her, ‘Give me one baby like this one, my life will be set.’” Ranveer desired a beautiful home where his wife, kids, and family play joyfully, with everyone being happy and healthy.

The Ram Leela actor had also revealed if he wants a girl or a boy. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Ranveer said, “I would much rather have a daughter. I think they’re so much nicer, kinder, more intelligent, more involved. I much prefer the feminine energy.”
On Koffee With Karan, Deepika and Ranveer showed their wedding video for the first time. Ranveer also shared stories about Deepika’s parents. He proposed in 2015, facing the challenge of breaking the news to her family. They went to Bangalore from the Maldives to meet Deepika’s parents, but timing was off, and her mother wasn’t pleased. Eventually, they tied the knot in 2018 at Lake Como in Italy.
