Ranveer is my go-to person, admits Deepika Padukone

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.”
