Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who recently welcomed a baby girl with husband Ranveer Singh, has remained relatively private about her new role as a mother since the announcement of their daughter’s birth on September 8. However, the actor recently reshared an Instagram Reel that offers fans a lighthearted peek into her experiences with motherhood.
On Monday morning, Deepika reposted a reel featuring a playful GIF of someone stepping out from behind curtains and retreating with a wave. The reel humorously portrays the challenges of early motherhood, captioned, “If adults ate like newborns.” It shows a woman waking up groggily, heading to the kitchen to fix a meal, and then attempting to eat in a chaotic manner. The woman then passes out after just one bite, mimicking the erratic behavior of newborns during feeding time. With her mouth open and head shaking throughout, the exaggerated actions in the video reflect the tiring, unpredictable nature of caring for a newborn.

Deepika’s repost has been interpreted by fans as a lighthearted reflection of her current phase of life as a new mother. Though she has not shared specific details about her parenting journey, the reel offers a glimpse into the sleepless nights and daily routines she may be experiencing.
Arrival of Deepika and Ranveer’s First Child
Deepika and Ranveer became first-time parents earlier this month. The actress was discharged from the hospital a few days after her delivery, and the couple made their first public appearance with their newborn as they left the hospital.
The announcement of their baby girl’s arrival on September 8 was shared with an emotional social media post. The couple wrote, “Welcome Baby Girl 8.9.2024. Deepika and Ranveer,” expressing their joy over the new addition to their family. The post garnered widespread attention, with Bollywood celebrities such as Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Kareena Kapoor congratulating the new parents.
In a subtle yet meaningful change, Deepika also updated her Instagram bio to reflect her new role as a mother. It now reads, “Feed. Burp. Sleep. Repeat,” giving fans a sweet insight into the daily rhythm of her life with a newborn.
On the Professional Front
On the work front, Deepika’s last appearance was in Kalki 2898 AD. She and Ranveer will reunite on screen in Singham Again, slated for a Diwali release. Ranveer also has projects like Aditya Dhar’s action film and Don 3 lined up.
