Deepika Padukone has shown her support for a social media post asking people to stop speculating about women’s pregnancies and judging their bodies. The actor liked a post that called out the habit of questioning whether celebrities are genuinely pregnant.
The conversation came after Deepika and Ranveer Singh shared new pictures from their maternity shoot. Deepika looked radiant as she showed her baby bump, while Ranveer and their daughter Dua joined her in the photos.
The post that caught Deepika’s attention was shared by content creator Arshia Moorjani. She praised the family’s maternity pictures but also addressed the speculation Deepika faced during her first pregnancy. At the time, some social media users had questioned whether her baby bump was real.
Moorjani said such speculation has become too normalised, particularly when it involves celebrities. She urged people to stop making assumptions about women based on their body shape and appearance during pregnancy.
Deepika’s decision to like the post was seen as her quiet way of supporting that message.
The latest maternity pictures show the actor posing alongside Ranveer, with their daughter Dua between them. In one photograph, Ranveer can be seen gently placing his hand on Deepika’s baby bump. He shared the pictures with a message asking fans for their blessings as their family prepares to grow.
Deepika and Ranveer had announced earlier this year that they were expecting their second child. They shared a picture featuring Dua holding a positive pregnancy test, with the couple’s hands around her.
The couple married in Italy in 2018 after dating for several years. They welcomed their first child, daughter Dua Padukone Singh, in September 2024.
Deepika’s response comes amid growing discussion around the way celebrity pregnancies are scrutinised online. While public figures often share parts of their personal lives with fans, pregnancy and body changes can also attract intrusive comments and speculation.
For Deepika, the latest pictures appear to be about celebrating an important family moment. Her support for the social media message also highlights a broader appeal for people to allow women to experience pregnancy without unnecessary judgement or speculation.
