Who does Dua look like – Deepika Padukone or Ranveer Singh? Baby's Diwali debut sparks frenzy among fans

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh finally let fans catch a glimpse of their baby girl, Dua, this Diwali, and the internet is buzzing with comparisons. Fans are divided on whether she takes after her mother or her father, and every detail is being dissected.

Fans spot the mix of both parents

Social media users went all out:

“Smile is like Deepika, facecut like Ranveer.”

“Looks like her dad but has her mother’s ears.”

“Tall, dimples, cute ears, eyes like Deepika, rest like Ranveer. Dono ka mix.”

“She is a perfect mix of both of them.”

It looks like Dua is a little blend of both superstars, and fans can’t get over her charm.

The adorable Diwali look

The festive pictures showed mother and daughter twinning in red, while Ranveer complemented them in cream. Dua, with her playful ponytails and bright smile, was seen pointing into the air, biting her fingers, and sharing sweet moments with her parents during Diwali puja.

The couple revealed Dua’s name in November 2024, nearly two months after her birth in September. Meaning “prayer” in Arabic, the name reflects Deepika and Ranveer’s love for poetry and music, symbolizing hope and gratitude.

Deepika on motherhood

Speaking to CNBC TV18, Deepika shared how motherhood has changed her, “I've always been a patient person. My tolerance levels and patience levels are very high, but I think it teaches you patience. And it pushes you out of your comfort zone. It's pushed me out of my comfort zone in so many ways.”




She added, “It's made me more social. I've never been a social person. Having to interact with other parents and now playschool… These words feel so funny suddenly. But I just think motherhood really pushes you out of your comfort zone, in a good way. At least for me, it's been in a good way.”



Calling it the “best role” of her life, she said, “I've always wanted to be a mother. I wanted to be a mother from the time Anisha was born, so if I may say, I'm probably playing the best role of my life now and enjoying every bit of it.”Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
