Bollywood’s power couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, have always been fiercely protective of their daughter Dua Padukone Singh. Since her birth on September 8, 2024, the couple has made no attempt to reveal her face to the public and expressed their wishes to maintain the little one’s privacy. But despite their repeated efforts, a recent video circulating online has exposed the little one’s face, sparking outrage among fans.
Dua’s face revealed in viral clip
In the viral clip, Dua was seen sitting on her mother Deepika’s lap, with her face clearly visible for the first time. The footage also captures a visibly uncomfortable and upset Deepika asking the person behind the camera to stop recording the clip, as it gave a full view of her daughter.
Angry fans react to social media post
The video that was soon posted online went viral, with netizens excited to see the baby’s face for the first time. However, as the post was rapidly shared across platforms, many fans stepped up to condemn the uploader. One fan urged, “Hey please delete the video as both Ranveer and Deepika have strictly restricted pictures of their daughter.” Another wrote, “I don’t think you should be posting this, especially if the parents haven’t given consent. Doesn’t matter if she’s a celeb baby—she’s too young and this is morally wrong.” A third added, “Deepika specifically said she doesn’t want her child’s face out there and yet a so called “ fan” felt the need to video it even though you can see Dp not happy in the clip and you still shared it anyway.”
Fans recall Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma ‘s struggle
This incident also drew parallels with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s repeated struggles to protect the privacy of their children, Vamika and Akaay. Despite the couple’s clear requests to fans and the media not to share pictures of their kids, photos and clips have often surfaced online, sparking similar backlash. As one X user commented, “First Vamika and now Dua. Why can’t people respect parents’ wishes?”Another wrote, “earlier it was with Virushka and now Deepveer don’t u all hve some moral & ethics Deepika clearly not comf showing Dua’s face so can u all respect their privacy & fgs stop sharing her pics maintain some decorum.”When Deepika Padukone revealed she won’t show daughter Dua’s face anytime soon: ‘I don’t know how much of this Ranveer will be okay with…’ Still another expressed their wish that Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani do not face a similar situation concerning their daughter. “I saw the Dua’s face today I hope Paps never film baby Sidki without Sid or Kiara’s permission, it’s really disgusting. It’s their choice to protect their daughter’s privacy until they want to share it with us they can’t respect nothing.”
When DP and Ranveer introduced Dua
Deepika and Ranveer introduced their daughter Dua to the world in a social media post on the occasion of Diwali 2024. The actress shared a picture of her baby’s feet and wrote, “Dua Padukone Singh | ‘Dua’ : meaning a Prayer. Because She is the Answer to our Prayers. Our hearts are filled with Love & Gratitude. Deepika & Ranveer.”
Deepika won’t share Dua’s pictures any time soon
Padukone previously opened up about her approach to parenting daughter Dua, emphasising the importance of shielding her from the spotlight. The actress spoke about the conscious decision she and husband Ranveer have taken to maintain their daughter’s privacy. Known for guarding her own personal life, the actress made it clear that neither she, nor Ranveer has plans of revealing Dua’s pictures to the public anytime soon.
