Rumours swirling around suggest Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are all set to get hitched later this year. The actress was nothing but effusive while talking about her rumoured boyfriend during an interview with a leading Indian magazine, going to the extent of calling him her "go-to" person.
Saying that her Padmaavat co-star occupies a special place in her heart, Padukone praised his dependable and trustworthy nature. Padukone also said that Singh was a man who wasn't afraid to express his emotions.
"Ranveer Singh is dependable, trustworthy and my go-to person," Padukone told Filmfare Middle East. "I am bored when people say they love his energy. The man has so much more! He is an extremely good human being. He is kind and good to people. He is very real, emotional and sensitive. He is a man who is not afraid to cry and I love that about him. He is a man!” she said.
Padukone and Singh's alleged love affair have been going on for the past six years, and recent media reports indicate they are all set to tie the knot. However, those expecting a lavish wedding are in for a disappointment, a source revealed. Both Padukone and Singh are very private people and they want their wedding to be an intimate affair, a source was quoted as saying by a Mumbai daily.
"Both Ranveer and Deepika are extremely private and do not wish to have a lavish wedding with a long guest list. The ceremony will be away from the media glare, classy and intimate, with only family and close friends in attendance. That’s the plan," the source said.
Padukone was recently featured on the 2018 Time 100 list as one of the world’s most influential people and during a red carpet event the actress touched upon the need for female actors to demand equal pay.
“You can feel a sense of — am I stepping over the line, do I deserve it? But if you believe you deserve it, then you do,” Padukone insisted. “For years, we’ve been made to feel we should be OK with settling for less, with sometimes a promise of getting something more later on. But I think you should get what you think you deserve. It’s OK to fight for it, and it’s OK to feel uncomfortable initially, because that’s just the way we’ve been made to feel for so long.”
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
