Deepika Padukone is clearly enjoying every moment of motherhood, and her recent heartfelt confessions have delighted fans. The Bollywood superstar, who welcomed her daughter Dua Padukone Singh with husband Ranveer Singh in 2024, spoke about how becoming a mother has transformed her world and reshaped her priorities.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar India, Deepika offered an intimate glimpse into her life as a new mom, impressing readers with her honesty and warmth.
“My Obsession Is My Daughter”

She also revealed the quirkiest item in her handbag—a piece of thepla that her daughter had been eating, which accidentally ended up in her bag. Even her music tastes have shifted, with Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes becoming her go-to karaoke song at home.
Small Moments, Big Love
Deepika shared that she frequently expresses affection to her daughter, often repeating “I love you” throughout the day.
