Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh Expecting First Child: When Dad-to-be Shared 'Shortlisted' Baby Name

Deepika Padukone - Ranveer Singh : The couple are all set to embrace parenthood for the first time. They announced their pregnancy in February this year and are expected to welcome their first child any time now. However, the Don actor seemed to be planning for the day for a long time. As the couple stands on the cusp of parenthood, an old video of Ranveer from 2022 talking about baby names has gone viral on social media.

When Ranveer Singh shared he has started ‘shortlisting’ baby names 

In 2022, Ranveer Singh hosted a reality quiz show titled The Big Picture. In one particular episode of the show, the Don actor confessed to a contestant that he is looking forward to embracing fatherhood in his life. He shared his desire to have a baby girl by mentioning, “Jaisa ki aap log jante hai meri shaadi ho gai hai aur ab 2-3 saal mein bacche bhi honge. Bhaisaab, aapki bhabhi itni cute baby thi na. Main to roz uski baby photos dekhta hoon, kehta hoon ek aisi de de mujhe bus meri life set ho jaye (As you guys know I am married and may have kids in the next two or three years. Your sister-in-law was such a cute baby. I see her baby photos every day and tell her to give me a baby like that, my life will be set)."

Not just this, Ranveer Singh also shared that he has already started making a list of baby names with his wife. He quipped and asked the contestant if he could use his name - Shauryaveer- for his baby. Ranveer shared,  “Main shortlist bana raha hoon names ke. Aap mind nahi karenge to mai le lu aapse, Shauryaveer Singh? (I am shortlisting names. Would you mind if I take ‘Shauryaveer Singh’ from you)?"

Does Ranveer Singh want a girl or a boy?

In another viral video, Ranveer Singh was asked whether he wanted to have a baby boy or a baby girl with Deepika Padukone . Responding to the question, he said which loosely translated to, "When you go to the temple, they don't ask you na if you want laadu or sheera. Whatever you get, you have it with whole reverence since it is prasad. So the same logic applies here."

The video has now been garnering attention from netizens as the couple announced their first pregnancy together. Meanwhile, the actress is currently due to deliver. Today, September 7, Deepika Padukone was spotted at a hospital in Mumbai. The actress has been reportedly admitted to the hospital for the delivery of her and her actor husband Ranveer Singh ’s first child. Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in November 2018 at a private and intimate ceremony at Lake Como
