Actress Deepika Padukone is reported to have liked an influencer’s social media post that calls a “fake pregnancy,” one day after she shared maternity photographs with husband Ranveer Singh.

The reports tie the incident to the couple’s announcement that they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Dua, on September 8, 2024. Multiple outlets describe the episode as a reaction to online claims about her pregnancy status. The coverage focuses on the fact that the “like” on the disputed content draws attention, rather than on any direct clarification by Deepika or Ranveer Singh.

Across the reports, the central difference is mainly in emphasis: some highlight the timing—immediately following her maternity photo upload—while others foreground the broader context of her public updates around childbirth. None of the sources provide independent evidence confirming or refuting the “fake pregnancy” claim itself, but they consistently note that the interaction occurred online.
