Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are one of the most loved and popular couples of Bollywood, not to mention extremely powerful too as both of them are at the top of their career. The two often get quizzed on what changes marriage has brought in their lives, while Ranveer has been more vocal about it saying that he comes home on time now and is trying to lead a disciplined life, Deepika has become quirkier. During a recent interview, the actress opened up about the changes marriage has brought in, about the couple’s future projects and also spoke about embracing parenthood.
It was reported that Deepika and Ranveer had turned down three films as they did not want to overexpose as a couple. However, Deepika refuted this and said, “There is no truth to that at all. We don’t think like that at all. We would rather think whether a film warrants the two of us to come together. Again, that’s not a decision for us to make, it’s for the director to decide. We have not been offered anything like that together, though it was refreshing to work with him in ‘83 after having worked in three films, where we die in the end! I hope we get to do more films, maybe something more contemporary and lighter. It’ll be nice for someone to explore our on-screen combination in a different way from what everyone has seen so far.”
Talking about the changes in their personality after marriage, Deepika said, “We have both rubbed off on each other in different ways. I’d like to believe that I have brought in a little more professionalism and discipline into his life. I think he would like to believe that he has brought out the quirky side of me, though I think I have always been like that, it’s just that people saw it in spurts. There is an extremely goofy and funny side to me, which only close friends got to see earlier. Now, when I sometimes show that side of my personality to others, people feel that he has rubbed off on me, which is also a great thing.”
She further added, “Ranveer and I support and encourage each other... especially his dressing sense! In a way, there are not many changes from the time we were dating, except that now, we come home to each other. Professionally, we make our own decisions and personally, we decide everything together. For us, it’s been important from the beginning that we retain our own identities. People around us often forget that we are married, which I think is a good thing. Ranveer and I are together and at the same time, we are our own people.”
She was quizzed about her quirky side as well, to this she said, “Maybe I’m showing it a lot more now. If you ever speak to my school friends, they will tell you that I was a brat. My mother will tell you how, as a child, I was never at ground level; I was always jumping or climbing somewhere. There is a boisterous side to me, which, in all of my so-called elegance, people missed seeing.” Talking about whether she gets asked about starting a family, Deepika said that she has not been asked that question, which is refreshing.
