2. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone – The Sweet and the Cute
What happens when the two biggest stars come together? The fireworks, of course. And, that’s exactly how their love story is – full of romance and passion, something we’ve also repeatedly seen on-screen as well. Like reel, like real!
Love Story
We all know how gushy Ranveer Singh can get. And, that’s exactly how everybody caught on that there had been something going on between the two. Ranveer confessed in his own words that he got ‘flat’ when he saw Deepika at a silver gown in Macau at Zee Cine Awards. That was the first time he saw her in person. An, then as fate would have it, they were cast in Bhansali’s Goliyon ki Raasleela…Ram Leela later, and the two hit it off pretty quickly. However, they kept their budding romance under covers and nobody was sure of anything relating the two. The year 2013, Deepika was riding the ladder of success faster than ever with big hits like Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Race 2. She was also shooting for months in Goa for Finding Fanny the same year where Ranveer was seen dropping by. Later, he also played a cameo in the film, playing DP’s deceased husband. She later denied having any knowledge of him playing the part.
They practically maintained ‘I-don’t-even-know-her/him’. However, it didn’t stay like that for long. Firstly, photographs of the two standing together emerged from SRK’s party which hinted definitively towards them being in a relationship. Singh also used to visit DP whenever she was away from home shooting for films. Like when she went to Dubai for Happy New Year, Singh went there, too. And, Deepika also reciprocated this gesture by visiting him in Spain when he was working on Dil Dhadakne Do. And, in 2015, the air got clear when they started displaying their romance openly in public. On Farah Khan’s birthday party, Ranveer didn’t care about the people or even the shutterbugs when he held out a yellow flower for her, while she walks ahead blushing with Karan Johar. And at IIFA 2015, Ranveer went grand. He went down on a knee on the stage and sang ‘Ram Chahe Leela’ to Deeps standing right in front of him.
They perhaps knew at this point of time that they’ll be together, so didn’t mind bringing the public into it. Ranveer also started praising Deepika in the press for her acting skills. And, she would, too, give flying kisses and make heart gestures for Ranveer during her stage performances. It was just a matter of time we’d get their wedding date. They were more frequently seen holding hands at big bashes, their movie premiers and what not. And, finally at Koffee with Karan, Deepika gave all subtle hints of their wedding date. And, we know how it went from there. You don’t? Read about their wedding celebrations.
Date of Wedding: 14 November 2018
Wedding Details
The two zeroed in on for a destination wedding at Italy’s Lake Como. The wedding was just like the initial stages of their relationship – very private, intimate, restricted from taking pics, and very few people let in. Like Nickyanka, they organised two kinds of weddings, since they belonged to different backgrounds. Both Sindhi traditions and South Indian rituals were followed.
For the Konkani wedding, Deepika chose Sabyasachi as her designer and added grace to her big day with gold and red silk saree complemented with heavy jewellery. About her make-up, she went with light make-up in shades of nudes and brown. Other than that, she wore a little red bindi, jhumkas, a layered necklace, a heavy choker, and mathapatti. Ranveer chose a traditional attire for the south Indian wedding. He wore kurta, gold and ivory veshti, angavastram, and mundavalya.
During the Sindhi wedding, she wore a golden embroidered red lehenga checkered with golden work. But what took away the limelight was her dupatta with a special message ‘Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava’ written on the border. Moving on to her make-up, she chose earthy shades and smokey eyes. Her jewellery included kundan bangles, maangtika, chunky earrings, nath, and intricate rings. And, as a Sindhi bride, she donned kaliras and red chura as well. Ranveer too complimented his beautiful bride with Sabyasachi red kanjeevaram shervani that had golden threadwork. This time, Ranveer too give in to the bling of heavy jewellery like his bride. Quite a pair!
