Meet Devi Padukone Singh: Why Deepika and Ranveer Revealed Their Daughter’s Name on Dussehra
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have finally shared the name of their second daughter, and they picked a very deliberate moment to do it. On Dussehra, October 20, 2026, the couple posted a joint family photograph and introduced the newest member of their family: Devi Padukone Singh.
The Announcement
The post shows the couple with their daughters in matching golden outfits, with big sister Dua leaning in to kiss the baby. The caption was simple, with the name followed by the words “Of Love & Abundance” and an evil-eye emoji. There was no long note, which suits a couple known for keeping their family life private.

A Timeline in Brief
Devi was born on September 19, 2026. The couple announced her arrival at the time with a photograph of a tiny footprint and a short message dated 19/9/2026 and signed by Dua, Deepika and Ranveer. They had announced the pregnancy in April. Dua, their first daughter, was born in September 2024, so the family has now grown from three to four in just over two years.
A Reveal With a Familiar Rhythm
This isn’t the first time the couple has chosen a festival to share a daughter’s name. Dua’s name was revealed on Diwali 2024, accompanied by a note explaining its meaning: Dua is a prayer, and she is the answer to the couple’s prayers. Deepika has since said that choosing Dua’s name took about two months, because she and Ranveer wanted to hold the baby first and let her personality start to show. Devi’s name arrived roughly a month after her birth, so the process looks quicker this time.
Why Dussehra Feels Fitting
Dussehra marks the end of Durga Puja and celebrates the victory of the Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. “Devi” means goddess, so the timing feels especially fitting. The couple hasn’t said whether the date was chosen for that reason, and it would be unfair to claim it was, but it’s easy to see why fans were struck by the connection.
A Pattern Worth Noticing
If this sounds familiar, it should. Earlier this year, actress Karishma Tanna and her husband Varun Bangera revealed their son’s name on Janmashtami, and the timing drew the same kind of attention. Festival-timed announcements have quietly become a recurring thread in how Indian celebrity couples share family news. A few reasons seem plausible, though the couples themselves rarely spell them out:
- A festival gives the announcement a built-in warmth and meaning that a random date doesn’t.
- Fans are already in a celebratory, family-focused mood, which tends to bring a warmer reception.
- Cultural and religious traditions often tie naming to auspicious dates, so the timing can feel natural rather than staged.
None of these are confirmed motives, but together they explain why the pattern keeps appearing.
What Fans Are Saying
Reaction has been warm, with fans praising the golden family portrait and the gentle moment between the two sisters. As with Dua, the couple has chosen to share a photograph without a full public rollout, keeping control of how much of their daughters’ lives is seen.
The Takeaway
The name is Devi, the date is Dussehra, and the photo is a quiet, joyful family moment. It’s a simple announcement, but it follows a clear pattern that’s worth watching: the next time a celebrity couple shares a baby’s name, check the calendar. There may be a festival nearby.
