It’s a story that keeps playing out, a familiar tune in the celebrity world. Famous parents simply want to shield their children from the bright glare of the public eye. Bollywood darlings Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are the latest to face this struggle. Their baby daughter, Dua, recently became the focus of an online stir.
From the moment Dua arrived, Ranveer and Deepika made their wishes clear. They invited paparazzi to their home shortly after her birth. The couple made a heartfelt request then: please do not photograph their daughter. They wanted to keep her face private. Yet, a video of Dua has now surfaced on social media, leading to a wave of anger from fans.
The now-viral clip shows Deepika holding her little one. She was dressed in a white outfit, her own face mostly hidden by a mask. At some point, she noticed someone recording them. Deepika quickly gestured with her hand, asking the person to stop filming. Despite her clear request, Dua’s face became visible in the video. This video has since been removed from many platforms. It was shared widely against the wishes of Dua’s parents, which many consider a major breach of trust.
Fans Rally Around the Couple
The internet erupted with strong reactions after the video spread. Many users expressed outrage, directing their frustration at the person who uploaded the footage. One fan wrote, “Delete this video immediately. Deepika and Ranveer asked people not to take pictures of their daughter, so why are people doing this?” Another comment highlighted Deepika’s visible discomfort: “Deepika was not happy seeing this video being made, yet it was uploaded. This is very disappointing.”
Other users joined the chorus of condemnation. One person pointed out a pattern, saying, “First it happened with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, and now with Deepika and Ranveer. People have forgotten their ethics.” The incident has sparked a wider conversation about respecting celebrity privacy, especially when it involves young children.

I hate you people with a burning passion , Deepika specifically said she doesn’t want her child’s face out there and yet a so called “ fan” felt the need to video it even though you can see Dp not happy in the clip and you still shared it anyway pic.twitter.com/RshpKRHqE5
