The name paints different picture from the convention, where the surnames are often based on the patriarchal system in the family. The stars put the mother’s surname ahead of the father’s in the daughter’s name.
While some came up saying that the stars named their daughter Dua Lipa, the British pop singer, some had issues with the said Arabic origin of “Dua”.
In Arabic, Dua means prayer.

Social media users took a jibe at the deteriorating freedom of everything in India, and the increased attack on minorities and Muslims.
Calling out the aversion towards anything Muslim in the country which has been blaringly visible for the past few years, the user directed his comment against “Bhakts”, and wrote, “Deepika and Ranveer have named their Daughter Dua Padukone Singh and Bhakts are enraged why they named her Dua which is an Arabic Word. Govt should start a Naming Board, on the Lines of Censor Board, fill it with RW and Celebrities need to get name of their Kids approved by them”.
