"Bachhe khel rahe ho,” “lots of babies”: Deepika-Ranveer’s old ‘big family’ goals go viral amid pregnancy news

The internet is in full celebration mode after Bollywood’s much-loved couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, announced that they are expecting their second child. The news, shared on April 19, instantly sent fans into a nostalgic spiral, with social media flooded with old interviews and clips where the two had spoken about building a big, happy family. What once sounded like a distant dream now feels like a story unfolding in real time.

When Dreams Start Looking Real

Among the many clips doing the rounds, one from Ranveer’s television debut on The Big Picture in 2021 has caught everyone’s attention. Speaking about his idea of a perfect life, Ranveer had painted a simple yet heartfelt picture, a cosy home filled with laughter, children running around, and a close-knit family living in joy and good health.

Fans have also revisited an old interview with Deepika from the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, long before their wedding. Back then, she had spoken about wanting a peaceful life by the sea, surrounded by children and grandchildren. In another resurfaced moment, she had candidly shared her wish to have “lots of babies,” a statement that is now being widely discussed again.

Internet Says: ‘They Manifested It’

As these clips gained traction, netizens couldn’t help but connect the dots. Comments pouring in across platforms reflect pure joy, with many calling their journey a perfect example of manifestation. From hoping for twins to simply sending blessings, fans are clearly invested in this growing family.

There’s also a sense of warmth in how people are reacting—not just to the pregnancy announcement, but to the consistency in what Deepika and Ranveer have always said they wanted. For many, it feels like watching a love story that is slowly turning into the life they once spoke about so openly.

From Dua to a Growing Family

The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in Italy in 2018, embraced parenthood for the first time in 2024 with the arrival of their daughter Dua. They described her as the answer to their prayers, making the moment even more special for fans.

Now, with Dua stepping into the role of an elder sibling, their latest announcement feels like the next chapter in a life they had once imagined together. Alongside their flourishing careers, Deepika and Ranveer seem to be building exactly what they had always hoped for.
