Ranveer Singh made the event memorable by personally ensuring the photographers were well-fed, even sending sweets to their families as a gesture of gratitude. The couple expressed their intention to share Dua’s photos with the public when the time feels right.
Deepika and Ranveer, who announced Dua’s name on Diwali, faced some online criticism for choosing an Arabic name. Despite the backlash, they maintained that “Dua,” meaning prayer, perfectly symbolizes their gratitude and love for their daughter.
Their thoughtful approach mirrors similar requests from other Bollywood parents, reflecting a growing trend among celebrities to safeguard their children’s privacy in the spotlight.
