Deepika Padukone turns baker on daughter's birthday. Her self-score will surprise you. Her two more hobbies are just as surprising

Deepika Padukone may dazzle on screen, but off-camera, she’s proving she’s just as talented at home. For her daughter Dua’s first birthday, the actress rolled up her sleeves and baked a chocolate cake herself, sharing the sweet moment on Instagram with the caption, “My love language? Baking a cake for my daughter's 1st birthday!” Fans were charmed not just by the gesture but also by how confidently she owns her baking skills.

In a past interview with ELLE, Deepika revealed she’s a confident baker, saying she can handle cakes, cookies, brownies, and nankhatai effortlessly. She even shared that her sister manages the main course while she takes charge of desserts — a partnership that turns every meal into a treat.
