Deepika Padukone opens up about having children with Ranveer Singh: ‘We look forward to the day…’

Star couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have been married for over five years and have consistently expressed their love for children. In a recent interview, Deepika reiterated her desire to have a child with Ranveer. During the interview, she also discussed the values she hopes her future children will adopt from her.

‘Ranveer and I love children. We look forward to the day when we will start our own family,’ shared Deepika in a chat with Vogue Singapore.

Speaking about her family, she added, ‘When I meet the people I have grown up with—my aunts, uncles, family friends—they always mention how I haven’t changed one bit. That says a lot about our upbringing.’

‘In this industry, it’s easy to get carried away by fame and money. But no one treats me like a celebrity at home. I am a daughter and a sister first. I don’t want that to change. My family keeps me grounded and Ranveer and I hope to inculcate the same values in our children,’ she added.

In 2019, Deepika Padukone clarified that although she and Ranveer had a desire for children, they weren't actively planning for it. She also voiced her frustration with societal pressures and expectations placed on couples regarding marriage and starting a family. In an interview with HT Cafe, she expressed her annoyance, saying, ‘I think it’s sad that society kind of puts itself and people in this rut that okay you are dating for so long toh shaadi kab hogi, shaadi ke baad bacche and then grandchildren. It’s almost like it’s the said expectation. I’m not surprised (by the rumours), we’re not surprised by it at all.’

She added, ‘Do we intent on having children? Of course we do, we both love kids. But do we intent on having children anytime soon? Absolutely not! We’re too selfishly at this point focused on our careers and I don’t think it would be fair to have kids at this point. We’re not even thinking about kids.’
