After Deepika shared pictures from her maternity shoot with Ranveer Singh and Dua, a post on social media called out how women are often shamed for their bodies during their pregnancy. The post further urged people to stop doing so. But what caught attention was that the post received support from Deepika herself.

Content creator Arshia Moorjani shared a reel about how lovely Deepika's maternity shoot pictures looked. She said, "Baby Dua looks just like Ranveer Singh to me! They are copy and paste… I saw a lot of speculation about Deepika Padukone faking her pregnancy with her first baby, which is so crazy to me. The fact that we have normalised it as a society with celebrities is wild to me. Not every celebrity is faking their pregnancy!"

She further added, "Deepika Padukone is not faking her pregnancy. She is clearly pregnant with baby number 2, so please let her have this moment. Stop normalising telling women with different body sizes that they are faking their pregnancies! This is such a beautiful moment in their lives. She looks stunning."
