Happy Birthday Deepika Padukone: When actor opened up about initial days of dating Ranveer Singh

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. The couple tied the knot in 2018 after a courtship of nearly six years. But it was after their wedding, Deepika and Ranveer disclosed interesting facts about their relationship. During her first talk show appearance after tying the knot, Deepika disclosed suggesting an open relationship during the initial days of their dating. DP revealed that she was hesitant to commit to a relationship with Ranveer.

Deepika had told Filmfare, "It was not about him. It was about whether I was ready to commit to a relationship. Because I’d been in several relationships before and many times my trust was broken. When I met Ranveer, I was exhausted."

She further shared, "When this relationship, which I was in ended in 2012, I was like I’m done. I wanted to try out this concept of casual dating. I just did not want to be answerable to anyone. When Ranveer and I met in 2012, I told him, ‘I realise there’s a connection between us. I really like you but I want to keep it open. I don’t want to commit. If I get attracted to different people I’m going to do my thing."

When Ranveer was asked about it, he also said something on similar lines. The Gully Boy actor shared, "There was a phase in my life where I was only in no-strings-attached relationships. I’d cut off any string that I’d see. But yeah, you change and evolve as a person. You crave something more substantial. Now I can’t even think of such relationships. My biological clock is ticking. I want to become a family man. I love kids."

Deepika celebrates her birthday on January 5 and has turned 35 this year.
