Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone welcomed a baby girl on Sunday. The couple, who first met on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela in 2013, tied the knot in Italy in 2018 after dating for several years. As they begin this new chapter of their lives as parents, here’s looking back at the moments when they spoke about having children, with Ranveer even manifesting the wish to have a baby girl with Deepika.
Shortly after marrying Deepika in a stunning Lake Como ceremony, Ranveer attended the India Economic Conclave, where he was asked about his desire to have kids. The Padmaavat actor expressed his wish for children, but made it clear that the decision ultimately rests with Deepika. “It’s not my call really. Partly yes, it’s my call but mostly it’s just her and I allow her that. I allow her to make most of the decisions because she is better at everything. I have no qualms in admitting that she is a much more mature, much more evolved person than me,” he had said.
Deepika, on the other hand, had always envisioned herself as a mother. In 2013, while the couple was still dating, she expressed her desire for children during a roundtable discussion with Rajeev Masand. When asked what she would be doing if she weren’t acting, Deepika revealed, “If I was not an actor, I don’t know what I would’ve been doing. But hopefully with some children around. Three little kids scuttling about. Hopefully, be working enough to take them to shoots, have a happy family. And at the same time, still doing what I’m doing.”

He said, “Jaisa ki aap log jante hai meri shaadi ho gai hai aur ab 2-3 saal me bacche bhi honge. Bhaisaab, aapki bhabhi itni cute baby thi na. Mai to roz uski baby photos dekhta hoon, kehta hoon ek aisi de de mujhe bus meri life set ho jae (As you guys know I am married and may have kids in next two or three years. Bro, your sister-in-law (Deepika) was such a cute baby. I see her baby photos every day and tell her, give me one baby like this one, my life will be set).”
