How Ranveer Singh Fell for Deepika Padukone First Time

The couple first met at an awards ceremony, where Ranveer later admitted he was instantly struck by Deepika’s presence. However, their bond solidified on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela in 2012. Ranveer famously recalled their first reading at Bhansali’s seaside home, describing Deepika’s entrance as a "gush of wind" that left him awestruck. It was during this period that a simple, domestic moment Deepika asking Ranveer to help her remove a piece of crab stuck in her teeth, signalled to the pair that their connection was unique.

Secret Engagement

While the media speculated about their "rumoured" romance for years, the couple recently revealed on Koffee With Karan that they had been engaged since 2015. Ranveer proposed during a secret holiday in the Maldives. Fearing he might lose her to someone else, he joked, "Maine jake chappal rakh deta hun" (I decided to mark my territory). He carried a ring to a private sandbank, and despite not yet consulting her parents at the time, Deepika said yes. They kept the engagement a secret for three years.

DeepVeer Wedding

The couple officially tied the knot in November 2018 at the picturesque Lake Como in Italy. In a nod to their diverse backgrounds, they held two ceremonies, one following Konkani traditions and another in the Sindhi style. Six years later, on September 8, 2024, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Dua Padukone Singh. The couple largely kept her out of the public eye until Diwali 2025, when they shared a family portrait revealing her face for the first time.
