Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone on the sets of Koffee With Karan.
Ranveer Singh took a dig at Deepika Padukone after she backtracked from her statement that she was ‘seeing’ other people but would go back to him in the past.
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone had a small argument in the latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 after the actress appeared to backtrack from her statement that she was not initially very keen on a “committed” relationship with the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star.
When Karan asked Ranveer and Deepika if there was any point where they discussed that they were finally in a relationship, the actor said, “We would go out on dates. It’s not really said but once you take a holiday together and spend New Years together then it gets established that you are together. There were two or three suitors in the first six months. A lot of guys were courting here.”
“Who were these suitors? Even I didn’t know,” Deepika asked Ranveer. To this, a visibly annoyed Ranveer said, “Abhi toh tumne bola I was seeing other people but I would go back to him. Tumko ab yaad nahi aa raha hai?” “I can’t remember the people,” Deepika responded. “I remember very clearly,” Ranveer said.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh also revealed that he proposed marriage to Deepika Padukone right after the release of Ram-Leela, which became a huge success. The actor said that within six months of dating, he knew Deepika was the one for him.
After coming back from the holiday, Ranveer and Deepika went straight to Bengaluru to break the news to Deepika’s family. But unfortunately, Deepika’s mother, Ujjala Padukone, didn’t approve of their relationship.
Recalling the moment, Ranveer said, “I was sitting at the head of the table with my hands and mouth engrossed and suddenly absolutely out of nowhere, she was like, ‘He proposed marriage to me and I said yes.’ And, there was just pin-drop silence. And Ujjala’s face has just gone cold. Everybody wanted it to be a happy, memorable moment but I could sense the undercurrents. Everything has happened- hugs and celebrations. We went back home. I went into a room in their Bengaluru home. And I put my ear to the door and outside Amma and Deepika were having it out. She was saying, ‘Who is this guy? He has proposed marriage and you said yes also? This whole drama was going on outside. And I was like, ‘God save us!’ Then it took obviously years and a lot of work on my part to kind of make a place in Amma’s heart but now I think it has happened and I’m one of her favourite people in the world.”
