Deepika Padukone, while she was in London shooting with husband Ranveer Singh for the upcoming film '83, sent the couple's fans into a tizzy after she dropped in a 'Hi Daddie' comment during her husband's live Instagram chat. Soon, their admirers began assuming that the Padmaavat actress is expecting her first child with Ranveer, so much so, her social media pictures started flooding with messages stating a few spotted a slight baby bump. However, Deepika maintained silence over this till now and during an interview with a leading daily, she clarified it as false. The actress told that though they want to have children but not anytime soon. Calling Ranveer and herself as 'selfish' with their careers at this point, Deepika added that it won't be fair to have children in the immediate future.

"I think it’s sad that society kind of puts itself and people in this route that okay you are dating for so long toh shaadi kab hogi, shaadi ke baad bacche and then grandchildren. It’s almost like it’s the said expectation. I’m not surprised by the rumours, we’re not surprised by it at all. Do we intend on having children? Of course, we do, we both love kids. But do we intend on having children anytime soon? Absolutely not! We’re too selfishly at this point focused on our careers and I don’t think it would be fair to have kids at this point. We’re not even thinking about kids," Deepika told during the interview.

Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in November last year in Italy with close family members in attendance. The wedding took place as per both, Sindhi and Konkani rituals. Upon returning to India, the couple held receptions for those who couldn't be a part of the wedding. Workwise, they will share the screen space for the first time after marriage in Kabir Khan's '83 where Ranveer plays the role of Kapil Dev while Deepika is his wife, Romi Dev. The film is scheduled to release on April 10, 2020.
