Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Deepika Padukone’s announcement of her second pregnancy has sparked curiosity over her professional commitments, as she is set to headline two big-budget films this year.

Deepika-Ranveer announce second pregnancy

Deepika and her husband, actor Ranveer Singh, revealed on social media on Sunday that they are expecting their second child.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Dua, in 2024.

What’s next on Deepika’s work front?

Deepika is currently attached to two major projects.

She will star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in King, marking their sixth collaboration. The film is slated for a December 24, 2026 release.

She is also part of Raaka, a pan-India film led by Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, expected to release later in 2026.

Pregnancy and work to go hand in hand

As the release dates of both the films have been announced, Deepika has chosen to stick to the filming schedule.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, she is continuing to shoot for Raaka, including action sequences, during her pregnancy.

“During her pregnancy, Deepika Padukone is shooting intense action sequences for Raaka. She will continue to shoot for the film throughout her pregnancy,” the report quoted a source as saying.

A love story that began on set

Deepika and Ranveer’s relationship dates back to 2013 when they met on the sets of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.

After years of dating, they reportedly got engaged in 2015 and married on November 14, 2018, in a private ceremony at Lake Como. The wedding incorporated both Konkani and Sindhi traditions.

The couple welcomed their daughter Dua on September 8, 2024, and are now preparing to expand their family further.
