However, the authenticity of the picture is now under the scanner. 

Did Deepika-Ranveer share a sonogram photo of their first baby? 

Recently, a photo of a couple holding a Polaroid of their ultrasound began doing rounds on social media. The faces of both patrons could not be seen in the picture as they posed with their backs towards the camera. The expecting parents donned hats with ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ stitched on them. Several social media users and actress’ fan pages claimed that the photo is of Deepika and Ranveer, who are expecting their first child in September 2024. 

The reports began circulating owing to the woman’s resemblance with the Piku actress. However, a fact check has uncovered that the photo does not feature the actors. The post was made by an X (formerly Twitter) user to announce her pregnancy on May 13.
