Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is currently navigating a significant and joyful phase of her life. She and her husband Ranveer Singh are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child. In the midst of this journey, the actress has shared a candid update regarding her health during the third trimester of her pregnancy. Through a reel posted on her official social media handle this Saturday, Deepika opened up about the physical challenges that accompany the final stages of pregnancy. Having maintained a relatively low profile over the past few months, the actress used this video to humorously yet honestly depict her current state of health.
The physical hurdles of the third trimester
The reel shared by the actress illustrates the struggle of a pregnant woman moving slowly toward the bathroom. Deepika Padukone accompanied this post with an upside-down smiley emoji, signaling the lighthearted yet genuine manner in which she is dealing with the physical strain of this phase. It is worth noting that Deepika and Ranveer announced the news of their second pregnancy back in April. They shared a heartwarming post on Instagram where their daughter, Dua, was seen holding a positive pregnancy test. Since the announcement, the couple has been showered with love and blessings from both fans and fellow celebrities.
Preparation for the arrival of the second child
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, in September 2024. Ever since, Deepika has been carefully balancing her professional and personal life. Beyond her pregnancy, she has been in the headlines for her specific requirement of 8-hour work shifts on set. Prioritizing her health and family, she has opted out of several major film projects and has made fewer public appearances compared to her usual schedule.
Upcoming film projects
Despite her current circumstances, Deepika Padukone continues to fulfill her professional obligations. She recently returned to Mumbai after wrapping up the international schedule of the upcoming action thriller 'King', which stars Shah Rukh Khan. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 24, 2026. Furthermore, she is also set to appear in Allu Arjun’s high-profile pan-India Telugu action movie, titled 'Raka'.
