Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone gave birth to a daughter last September. Two months after the birth, Deepika and her husband actor Ranveer Singh revealed the baby's name and picture. However, since the announcement of the name, a section of social media users have criticized them.
In a social media post with a photo of her daughter's feet, Deepika-Ranveer wrote, 'Dua Padukone Singh. Dua means prayer. He is the answer to all our prayers. Our hearts are full of love and gratitude.'
Dua is originally an Arabic word. It means prayer. Dua in Islam means prayer to God.
Deepika-Ranveer's daughter's Arabic name has caused the Hindutva fanatics to burn. One of them wrote, 'Why not prayer, why dua? Why not Hindi, why Urdu???'
Another social media user wrote, 'You are a traditionalist. But only in name?'
In this way, the Deepika-Ranveer couple has been attacked by Hindutva fanatics in one comment after another.
Although Deepika-Ranveer did not open their mouths about the criticism, many social media users also responded to the staunch Hindutva. An X user named Eps reposted a post about this and wrote, 'Religious extremism is actually a disease.'
Another X user named Tarun Gautam wrote, 'Arjun videographer from Uttar Pradesh is angry that Deepika-Ranbir made dua without mentioning their daughter's name. But he doesn't even know how to spell the word prayer properly.'
