Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are not only an adorable Bollywood couple, but also dedicated actors, and their recent stints prove it. While Ranveer is basking in the success of Dhurandhar, Deepika is juggling between the shoots of King and Raaka amid her second pregnancy. While Deepika continues to shoot in Cape Town, and the two were spotted at the airport together, Ranveer has stepped back from the spotlight to be present at home.

Ranveer Singh on Dua duties as Deepika shoots

A source close to the couple shared, "It's nice to see how supportive Ranveer and Deepika are of each other. While Deepika Padukone has been busy shooting for King in South Africa, even after the groundbreaking success and putting together Pralay, he is spending time with his little Dua while mommy is filming, taking care of her. He's being present and hands-on. Dua has been his lucky charm, with 3 Ds (Deepika, Dua, Dhurandhar) changing his life. There are still a few days of shoot left, but after delivering Dhurandhar, Ranveer has chosen to stay away from the spotlight, which is surprising."

Ever since the arrival of Dua, those around Ranveer have noticed a shift not just in priorities, but in perspective. The success of the Dhurandhar franchise, his evolving personal life with Deepika Padukone, and now fatherhood seem to be aligning in a way that feels almost symbolic. Three "Ds" - Deepika, Dua, and Dhurandhar - have become defining pillars of this phase. In fact, between Dhurandhar shoots, he would fly back, even for just a few hours, to meet his wife and daughter.
