India TV did investigation

Ranveer and Deepika welcomed their daughter on September 8, 2024, and have been trending since then. In an attempt to find a picture of their daughter, we searched for reliable sources and checked both actors' social media handles such as Instagram and X, but did not find any images of their daughter. The latest posts on their pages were from a recent maternity photoshoot, and no pictures of their daughter were shared on any of their social media handles.

When we couldn't find any verified photos of Deepika and Ranveer's daughter, we became cautious about the viral image circulating on social media. Using Google Reverse Image Search, we traced the viral picture back to a news article from November 10, 2021, where the photo featured a different woman, not Deepika. However, the image of the girl matched the viral photo. This investigation revealed that the viral picture claiming to show Deepika's daughter had been edited and is not genuine.
