Deepika and Ranveer, who are massively popular Hindi films actors, took to social media on November 1 on the occasion of Diwali to reveal the first glimpse of their daughter.

They revealed the reason behind naming their daughter Dua.

"'Dua' : meaning a Prayer. Because She is the Answer to our Prayers. Our hearts are filled with Love & Gratitude," the couple wrote in the post.

A section of social media users are not happy with the couple naming their daughter Dua, a Muslim name while some felt naming Prarthana, which in Hindi means prayers, would have been appropriate considering their Hindu religion.
