Chhapaak: Ranveer Singh writes a heartfelt post for Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak hits the screens today. The film is directed by Meghna Gulzar and it is a biopic on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. A couple of days ago, Ranveer Singh saw the movie at the special screening and recently the actor wrote a heartfelt post for his wife Deepika and filmmaker Meghna Gulzar.

Ranveer posted on Instagram, “Meghna, your film gives the audience hope and courage. It shows you the best and worst of humanity in a kaleidoscopic cinematic spectrum. It elucidates a subject that we’ve only ever heard of but never really fully understood. It offers a definitive and insightful deep-dive into the horrific gamut of acid violence. The story shakes you to your core and then lifts you heroically until your emotions soar. Talvar, Raazi and now Chhapaak..may I say “Bravo!” And “Encore!” ❤️”


My baby. I’ve witnessed you toil relentlessly to create this special piece of work. You’ve been an engine behind the project, and are the soul of the film. This is the most important instalment in your body of work. You laboured with such honesty in intent and action. You dug deep and fought through your challenges, faced your fears, overcame your struggles and today you and your team stand triumphant as the creators of one of the films of our times. Your performance is way more than everything I thought it could and would be. It’s moved me, stirred me and stayed with me. You blended strength with vulnerability and lent dignity to an immensely complex portrayal in such a fine manner that I’m simply awestruck at your craft. Its staggering and astonishing what you’ve achieved with Malti. A glowing gem in your repertoire. I love you baby. I’ve never been more proud of you. @deepikapadukone #chhapaak."

Ranveer and Deepika have always given us couple goals and we love the way they support each other in their careers as well.

The two will next be seen together on the big screen in Kabir Khan’s ’83. Ranveer plays the role of Kapil Dev in the film and Deepika will be seen as his wife Romi Dev.
