Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and charm, left the audience at the inaugural World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit ( WAVES 2025) in Mumbai speechless when he spoke lovingly about his co-star, Deepika Padukone. While attending a special session titled "The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler," Shah Rukh shared a personal reflection on Deepika's future, which added an emotional touch to the discussion.
A Glimpse into Deepika's Future Role
During the session, Shah Rukh couldn’t help but express his admiration for Deepika’s role as a mother. He fondly mentioned, “I just want to add one more thing, which is very personal, so please excuse me if I’m stepping beyond boundaries. But I think the role she’s going to play the best, Inshallah, is that of a mother now with Dua. I think she’s really going to be a wonderful mother.” These words resonated deeply with fans who have watched Deepika grow both in her career and her personal life.
Deepika Embracing Motherhood
Deepika and her husband, actor Ranveer Singh, became proud parents on September 8, 2024, when they welcomed their baby girl, Dua. The couple shared their joy with the world in a heartwarming post on Instagram in November, revealing their daughter's name, “Dua Padukone Singh,” with the meaning, “Dua: meaning a Prayer. Because She is the Answer to our Prayers.” The announcement was accompanied by a tender photograph of Dua’s tiny feet, symbolizing the couple’s immense gratitude and love.
Deepika has since taken a break from her professional commitments to focus on her new role as a mother. Her pregnancy announcement in February 2024 had already set the stage for this momentous change in her life, with fans eagerly anticipating her return to the silver screen in the future.
A Star-Studded Affair
WAVES 2025, being held at the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC) in Mumbai, is one of the most anticipated events in the entertainment industry this year.
