What Ranveer said about his love story with Deepika

A video of Ranveer Singh reminiscing about his love story with Deepika Padukone has now surfaced on X. The actor was seen holding a microphone and telling the attendees, “I want to tell you, Udaipur is like a lucky charm for love stories. I shot a movie here called Ramleela. Have you seen it? (people cheer) It was back in the day and I was starring opposite your bhabi (sister in law). It was on the long Udaipur schedule of Ramleela that our love story blossomed.”

He went on to add, “Nidra and Vamsi, since then it’s been 13 years of togetherness, 7 years of marriage and one beautiful baby girl! So you see, Udaipur is very, very lucky for love stories!”

About their marriage

Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot on 14 November 2018 at Lake Como, Italy, in the presence of family and close friends. They unveiled their wedding video only five years later, on the premiere episode of Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee with Karan, Season 8, on Disney+ Hotstar.

Ranveer and Deepika became parents to a daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, in September. They debuted Dua’s face during Diwali this year with an Instagram post.
