Ranveer Singh reveals he used to feel that Deepika Padukone is way away from his league

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone met on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela and love blossomed between the two. They were in a relationship for five years before tying the knot in November 2018.

Well, Ranveer and Deepika are surely giving us a lot of couple goals through their social media PDA. But, the former recently revealed he used to feel that Deepika is way away from his league.


Recently, Ranveer did an Insta Live session with football player Sunil Chhetri and during the session he spoke about his relationship with Deepika. The actor said, “I was very sure that I wanted to marry this girl in six months of being in a relationship with her. I knew she loves flowers, lilies in particular. I wanted her to be mine for life. I was very diligent in wooing her. So, every time she would come, there would be flowers. I would also make short trips if she was shooting somewhere else. I remember my father once turned around and said, ‘do you realise how much money you are spending on flowers?’ and I replied, ‘Laxmi ke avatar me chappar faad ke aayenge (she’ll be an avatar of Goddess Laxmi and money will rain on us).’ I used to feel that she is way away from my league. So, I did everything during the courting period.”

Talking about how he is spending his lockdown, Ranveer told Sunil, “I have been engaging this period of lockdown in quite different ways. In the first two weeks, it felt like something, then in the first month, then a month and a half and now it’s been 2 months. So, I have been going through various phases.”

“Every time you wake up in the morning and read the news, read what is happening and it’s a very grim scenario. It’s disturbing, it’s actually devastating to witness what is happening in this unprecedented pandemic to all our brothers and sisters not just in our country but across the world,” he added.

Talking about Ranveer’s movies, the actor was gearing up for the release of 83, but due to the lockdown the film has been postponed. Directed by Kabir Khan, the movie also starred Deepika Padukone in a pivotal role. Ranveer was also supposed to start shooting for Takht in April, however, the shooting schedule of the movie has also been pushed ahead.

Meanwhile, Deepika was going to start shooting for Shakun Batra’s next, but because of the lockdown the shooting of the untitled film has been delayed.

Ranbir's 'Ramayana' will go global using AI, says producer Namit Malhotra

Producer Namit Malhotra is betting big on Ramayana, not just as a film for Indian audiences, but as a story that can speak to viewers across the world. At the WAVES Summit in Mumbai, Malhotra shared how the upcoming mythological drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is being developed with a global ambition, bringing together high-end tech with cultural roots.

He explained that the team isn’t just dubbing the film into other languages. Instead, they’re using real-time AI to match lip movements to multiple languages, so when audiences watch it in English, Spanish, or Japanese, it looks like the actors are actually speaking those tongues. The idea is to avoid the usual detachment of subtitles or awkward dubbing, and instead make the film feel native to each region.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.
