‘Beti ke aane se naseeb badal jaata hai’
A Mid-day report highlighted how deeply Ranveer has embraced fatherhood amid his career high. “New Year’s was a special time as it is every year, but this year is even more special. Earlier, Ranveer was very busy with Dhurandhar. He made sure he was a doting father and husband, travelling back home even if it was for a few hours in between shoots. And after Dhurandhar’s massive success, he is spending all his time with Dua,” the insider shared.The source further added, “Beti ke aane se naseeb badal jaata hai, and Dua has brought good luck to him, his lakshmi, and he is making the most of his time before Dhurandhar 2 with her. A daughter can truly be a blessing, and this is a beautiful example for us.”
