Dussehra 2026 came with a surprise from one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal the name of their second daughter, and it is as elegant as the family itself. Devi Padukone Singh.
The announcement, posted as a joint Instagram update, also gave fans their first ever look at the complete family of four. The caption said it all: “Of Love & Abundance… Devi Padukone Singh.”
The Announcement: A Family Photo First
The couple shared a rare family photograph to mark the moment. Deepika cradles newborn Devi in her arms, while Ranveer holds their elder daughter, Dua. In the sweetest detail of the picture, little Dua is seen planting a kiss on her baby sister.
All four are dressed in coordinated ivory and golden ethnic silk outfits, giving the frame a warm, festive glow that fits the Dussehra occasion perfectly. The comments section quickly filled with love. Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor left heart emojis, while Bipasha Basu, Bhumi Pednekar, Sharvari and Huma Qureshi joined in with congratulatory messages.
One fan summed up the mood: “Dua and Devi, two beautiful blessings in one family.”
Why the Name Devi Matters
The name Devi, derived from Sanskrit, means “goddess” and is associated with divine feminine power, grace and strength. It sits beautifully beside her elder sister’s name. Dua means “prayer,” and the couple had explained in 2024 that their first daughter was the answer to their prayers.
Devotion, gratitude and meaning seem to be the common thread in the couple’s naming choices. Both girls were also born in the same month, September, two years apart. Devi arrived on September 19, 2026, a month before her name reveal. Her arrival was first announced with a simple social media post featuring the baby’s footprint and the words, “Welcome baby girl!” That post was signed off by Dua, Deepika and Ranveer, but the newborn’s name had been kept under wraps until now.
A Dussehra Reveal, a Diwali Memory
There is a lovely symmetry in how the couple has chosen festive moments to introduce their daughters. They revealed Devi’s name on Dussehra, the festival that marks the triumph of good over evil. Back in 2024, they had revealed first daughter Dua’s name during the Diwali festive period, sharing a photograph of her dressed in a traditional outfit.
The pattern suggests the couple likes to tie their biggest family milestones to India’s biggest celebrations, sharing joy when the whole country is celebrating too.
How the Family Looks Today
- Devi Padukone Singh: born September 19, 2026; name revealed on Dussehra, October 20, 2026.
- Dua Padukone Singh: born September 8, 2024; name revealed during Diwali 2024. “Dua” means prayer.
- Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh: married on November 14 and 15, 2018, at Lake Como, Italy, in ceremonies honouring both Konkani and Sindhi traditions.
- The family style: coordinated ivory and golden ethnic silk for their first family portrait, a festive look fans are already calling iconic.
From Ram-Leela to a Family of Four
Deepika and Ranveer grew close while working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela in 2013, after meeting in 2012. They went on to star together in Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, becoming one of Bollywood’s most watched pairs on and off screen. Ranveer proposed in 2015 during a holiday in the Maldives, and the couple announced their wedding in 2018.
Through it all, they have been fiercely protective of their privacy, especially where their children are concerned. Dua has largely been kept away from the public eye, and Devi’s face is yet to be revealed. This Dussehra announcement, then, is a generous exception: a carefully chosen, rare glimpse into their world.
