Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has been keeping a low profile ever since announcing her second pregnancy with husband Ranveer Singh. While the actor has largely stayed away from social media updates about her personal life, she recently gave fans a rare glimpse into her pregnancy journey by sharing one of the everyday challenges she’s facing during her third trimester.
On Saturday, Deepika reposted a relatable Instagram reel showing a pregnant woman waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The video was captioned, “Waking up at night to use the bathroom in the third trimester.” Deepika added an upside-down smiley emoji to the story, subtly confirming that she’s going through the same experience as she nears the final stage of her pregnancy.
Though it was a simple post, it quickly caught the attention of fans, who were delighted to see Deepika sharing a personal moment from her pregnancy. Many flooded social media with messages of love and support.
One fan wrote, “Dua’s sibling is almost here. You’ve got this, Deepika.” Another commented, “So happy she finally shared a pregnancy update.” Many others wished the actress a smooth and healthy delivery.
Earlier this year, Deepika and Ranveer surprised fans by announcing that they were expecting their second child. The couple shared a heartwarming joint post featuring their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, holding a positive pregnancy test while both parents lovingly placed their hands around her. Keeping the announcement simple, Deepika captioned the post only with evil-eye emojis.
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, in 2024. Since then, they have embraced parenthood while keeping their family life largely private. On Dua’s first birthday, they shared adorable pictures of their little one, giving fans a rare glimpse into their lives as parents.
Deepika has previously spoken about how motherhood has transformed her life. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, she revealed that becoming a mother has made her more patient and helped her step outside her comfort zone.
She shared that motherhood encouraged her to interact more with other parents and become more social, something she admitted never came naturally to her. According to Deepika, raising a child has changed her perspective in many positive ways and taught her valuable life lessons.
On the work front, Deepika will next be seen in King, directed by Siddharth Anand, where she stars alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, and Arshad Warsi. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026.
She also has Atlee’s Raaka in her lineup, where she will share the screen with Allu Arjun in what promises to be another big pan-India entertainer.
For now, however, Deepika seems to be enjoying this special phase of her life. Her latest social media update may have been brief, but it reminded fans that behind the glamour is an expectant mother experiencing the same joys and challenges as countless women around the world.
