Bipasha Basu Edits Cryptic Remark on Deepika Padukone’s Daughter ‘Devi’
Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh revealed the name of their second daughter, Devi, prompting actress Bipasha Basu to recall an earlier conversation before quickly editing her viral Instagram comment to shut down online speculation ahead of her acting comeback with director Hansal Mehta.
Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh sparked widespread excitement across the entertainment industry after sharing the first family photograph featuring their two daughters on the occasion of Dussehra, revealing the name of their newborn child as Devi. Following the birth of their elder daughter, Dua, the celebrity duo's announcement that their younger daughter is named Devi instantly drew comparisons and celebratory messages from film fraternity colleagues and fans across social media platforms. However, the announcement captured heightened digital attention when actress Bipasha Basu—who, along with husband Karan Singh Grover, named her own daughter Devi—left a candid personal reaction under Deepika's celebratory post, hinting at an earlier private exchange between the two leading ladies before swiftly revising her words to quiet viral speculation online.
The Deleted Question: Bipasha Recalls Private Chat Before Streamlining Her Message
The online discussion erupted when eagle-eyed social media users spotted Bipasha Basu's initial reaction, where she dropped a heart emoji alongside the playful query: "So, were you really serious when you told me you really liked the name Devi?" The public comment revealed that Deepika had previously expressed her admiration for the traditional name during private interactions with Bipasha, long before choosing it for her newborn child. While the lighthearted exchange illustrated warmth and mutual affection between the stars, sections of the internet quickly began misinterpreting the remark as subtle shade or an objection to repeating a celebrity baby name. Sensing the emerging social media frenzy, the Raaz actress proactively updated her response by removing the conversational question altogether, leaving behind a clean and affectionate comment featuring the name Devi alongside loving emojis to unequivocally shut down manufactured controversy.
