Dua's second birthday brought a rare glimpse of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's family life, but the pictures shared by the couple also revealed a touching connection between Deepika's two maternity journeys.

As Dua celebrated her birthday, Deepika shared new photographs showing off her baby bump while preparing to welcome her second child. The images carry a familiar visual touch, much like the maternity photographs released during her first pregnancy, the latest pictures have been captured in black and white.

The connection makes the new set of photos feel like a full-circle moment for the family. During her first maternity shoot, Deepika and Ranveer were waiting to welcome Dua. This time, their little girl is part of the frame as the couple prepares for the arrival of baby No. 2.

Rare family photos from Dua's second birthday

Deepika and Ranveer, who have largely kept their daughter away from the public eye, shared a carousel of pictures from Dua's birthday celebrations.

The photographs show Dua posing with both her parents, offering fans one of the rare glimpses of the family's personal life. Other frames focus on Deepika's second pregnancy, with the actor seen flaunting her growing baby bump.

Sharing the pictures, Ranveer wrote, “Baby Dua and our hearts are getting bigger! Thank you for your blessings!”, while tagging Deepika.

While the post marks Dua's second birthday, it also captures a new chapter for the family as they prepare to become parents for the second time.
