The duo, who have co-starred in films such as “Ram-Leela”, “Bajirao Mastani” and “83”, welcomed the baby a day after Deepika was admitted to a private hospital in Mumbai.

They announced the news in a joint Instagram post.

“Welcome Baby Girl! 8.9.2024,” it read.

The actor duo was photographed offering prayers at the Siddhivinayak Temple on the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi on Friday.

Deepika, 38, and Ranveer, 39, tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2018 at Lake Como, Italy.
