Fans of the actors were overwhelmed by this much-awaited good news and flooded the comments section with their wishes. “Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful little princess (red heart, glitter and evil eye emojis).” “The queen is blessed with a princess,” commented another. “I already said in one of the posts that it’s going to be a girl and Ranveer hi aapki choti Deepika aa gayi (purple hearts and evil eye emojis). God bless (glitter emojis),” read a third comment.

The comment is in reference to Ranveer’s 2021 statement when he told a contestant on his game show The Big Picture, “Jaisa ki aap log jante hai meri shaadi ho gayi hai aur ab 2-3 saal me bacche bhi honge.” Bhaisaab, aapki bhabhi itni cute baby that na. Main to roz uski baby photos dekhta hoon aur kehta hoon ek aisi de de mujhe toh bus meri life set ho jaye.

I see her baby photos every day and tell her, ‘Give it here.'”If I had a baby like that, my life would be done.”
