Deepika & Ranveer: Grandfather’s Full-Circle Moment
Prakash Padukone, now 70, candidly admitted something quite touching — during his peak badminton career, he was rarely home and missed out on the daily joys of parenting Deepika and her sister Anisha. Now with Dua, he’s making up for lost time, noticing every little change the baby goes through — almost daily.

The family makes sure Dua grows up grounded despite her star-kid status. When she visits her grandparents in Bengaluru, they sneak her out for Metro rides, auto-rickshaw trips, and trips to the park — keeping things refreshingly normal.
This is what celebrity parenting in India looks like when done right: fame at work, simplicity at home.
And with Deepika currently flaunting a baby bump ahead of their second child’s arrival, the Padukone-Singh household is only going to get more adorable from here.
