Deepika-Ranveer Name Second Daughter Devi on Dussehra

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have revealed the name of their second daughter: Devi Padukone Singh. The announcement came on Dussehra, October 20, alongside the first family portrait since the baby’s birth.

A name revealed on an auspicious day

Devi was born on September 19, a day that fell on Radhashtami, the Hindu festival honouring Radha’s birth. Her parents waited a full month, then chose Dussehra—the festival that marks good’s victory over evil—to share her name and face with fans.

In the portrait, the family of four matched in ivory and gold. Dua, now a big sister, leaned in to kiss her baby sibling. The couple’s caption read: “Of Love & Abundance…🧿 Devi Padukone Singh | देवी पादुकोण सिंह 🧿”

From Dua to Devi: a naming pattern

The name Devi means goddess in Sanskrit. It follows their first daughter’s name, Dua, which carries the sense of prayer or blessing. Read together, the sisters’ names have a gentle spiritual current: a prayer, then a goddess.

The couple had announced their second pregnancy with a photo of Dua holding a pregnancy test showing two pink lines, sharing it with only evil-eye emojis. That same understated, protective style returned on Dussehra.

The choice to use Padukone Singh as the surname keeps both parents present in the child’s name—a small but telling detail in how this family handles legacy.

Key dates for the Padukone Singh household

• September 19: Devi Padukone Singh is born on Radhashtami
• October 20: The couple reveal her name and the first family portrait on Dussehra
• October 27: Ranveer is expected back on the Pralay sets in Mumbai

What’s next on the work front

Ranveer Singh is expected to resume shooting for Pralay on October 27 for a brief schedule in Mumbai, according to a report by Variety India. The actor had stepped away from the zombie thriller ahead of Devi’s birth. The revised plan reportedly involves a short stint of filming before he takes another break, with the next leg of the production yet to be confirmed.

Indian celebrity families often time big reveals around festivals, but the calendar here does something quieter. Birth on Radhashtami and naming on Dussehra give the announcement a cultural weight that goes beyond a media moment—a family milestone folded into the rhythms of the festive season.

For fans who waited a month for this reveal, the Dussehra post delivers: a name, a face and a rare full-family moment from a couple who share their private life sparingly.
