Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are probably ‘the’ most loved Bollywood couple around at the moment. And while neither of them has accepted that they are in a relationship, they haven’t ever denied the news either. And at an event recently, Ranveer opened up about it when questioned about the same.
When asked about the status of his relationship with Deepika Padukone and on marriage plans, he said, "It is a relationship of mutual admiration... I rate her very highly as an actor, and she doesn't." "She says, 'You're just a ham'," he quipped, adding that she is "awesome" and that "there's a lot to learn from her as an artiste". He acknowledged that his ‘Padmaavat’ co-star has helped him become a "well-rounded human being" and that he is “blessed” to have her in his life.
Ranveer was also asked if he is the quirky and flamboyant person in real life too. On this, he said that it was in 2013 that something in him changed and he felt he didn't need to try and fit in. "I felt I should say what I feel like, dress the way I feel like. It's less taxing," he said, recounting how earlier he "was trying to be somebody I was not". Ranveer said his school friends don't find his flamboyance over-the-top or made up because they have seen him so since the beginning. "If you see the remarks in my report cards, they add up to things that he loves to entertain, he's gregarious, vivacious and I was always pushing the style envelope even in the fourth standard. When the cable TV came in, I caught on the hip-hop style with MTV and copied Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg with the baggy jeans. I was ahead of the curve and I have always been this way,” said the actor.
