Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as both the images are edited.

• The first original image featured artist Neeti Mohan with her partner and child.

• The second original image featured a person named Analysia Beck who gave birth to her child at a McDonald's car park amid a heavy snowstorm in Wisconsin in January.

• The celebrity couple have not officially shared an image of their daughter, Dua, as of the publishing of this article.

What we found: We checked both the images separately and found the following:

IMAGE 1: We ran a Google reverse image search on the photo and came across a post by Neeti Mohan from 12 September 2021. The viral image and Mohan's post had similarities.

Here are the similarities between the two.

IMAGE 2: We ran a Yandex reverse image search on the image and found a report by The Sun from January.

• It reported a story about a person named Analysia Beck from Wisconsin who had to give birth in a car park at fast-food chain McDonalds. The story included a photo which was similar to that of Padukone.

Here are the similarities between the two.

• The viral image has been mirrored, unlike the original photo.

• We, then, checked Beck's Facebook page and found the same visual from 13 January.

The Quint has previosuly debunked a similar claim around Padukone-Singh and you can read the story here.

The celebrity couple announced the birth of their daughter on 8 September via Instagram. They made a post on 1 November, revealing the name of their daughter, "Dua Padukone Singh."

Conclusion: A set of two edited images has gone viral, falsely claiming to show Padukone-Singh with their daughter, Dua.
