Bollywood star Deepika Padukone celebrated her baby daughter Dua’s first birthday over the weekend with an intimate family gathering, baking a special homemade cake for the occasion.
Glimpse of the celebrations
While Deepika did not share photos of her daughter on social media, she gave fans a peek into the birthday celebrations through a late Instagram post on Wednesday. The post showcased a large gooey layered chocolate cake, which served as the centrepiece on a table adorned with pastel flower arrangements and candles.
“My love language? Baking a cake for my daughter’s 1st birthday,” Deepika captioned the post.
Fans and friends flooded the comments with heartwarming reactions, praising the actress’s personal touch and extending their wishes to baby Dua.
Deepika’s love for baking
Since the COVID-19 lockdown, Deepika has frequently shared her love for baking on Instagram. She has revealed in AMA sessions that she prefers baking over cooking, and enjoys preparing treats like chocolate-chip cookies at home. Husband Ranveer Singh has often shared his fondness for the pastries and desserts she prepares.
Privacy for her daughter
Deepika has consciously avoided posting pictures of Dua online. The actress was recently upset when a stranger filmed her daughter at an airport during a family trip. She continues to ensure that her child’s privacy is respected, avoiding paparazzi and social media exposure.
Upcoming projects
On the professional front, Deepika is busy preparing for her next film with Atlee and Allu Arjun, titled ‘AA22xA6’, where she will portray a warrior role. Shooting for the project is expected to commence in November 2025.
