Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are a beloved Bollywood couple. They married in 2018 after dating for years. They are now parents to a baby girl, Dua Padukone Singh.
Recently, Deepika opened up about her relationship. She spoke about learning to be apart from Ranveer for work. This comes after years of rumors about trouble in their marriage. The couple has always proved these rumors wrong.
When did separation rumors start?
Strong rumors about a split began in 2022. An unverified tweet claimed their marriage was in trouble. It spread quickly on social media.
Ranveer Singh addressed this rumor directly at an event. He reminded everyone they had been together since 2012. He said a decade together proved their strength. This helped calm the public’s fears.
The rumors flared up again in early 2025. Ranveer cleaned up his Instagram feed. He deleted all photos with Deepika. Fans were very worried.
Many couples delete photos before a breakup. So, this action caused serious concern. However, there was a different reason.
It was later revealed this was for a movie promotion. Ranveer’s film Dhurandhar was about to release. The social media cleanse and a mysterious “12:12” post were part of the marketing. The film is now a box office hit.
What did Deepika say about distancing from Ranveer?
In a new interview with Pinkvilla, Deepika talked about their early years. She said they first met as co-stars on the film Ram-Leela in 2012. Their first conversations were as teammates.
She explained that later, they did films separately. This was a new challenge. Ranveer did Gully Boy after Padmaavat. Deepika did projects without him.
She said it felt strange at first. They had to get used to not working together. It took time to disconnect from being just “co-stars.”
This period helped them understand each other better. They learned to see each other as individual artists. Deepika said Ranveer has always supported her work.
How strong is their bond now?
Despite constant rumors, their bond remains strong. They have been together for over 14 years. They support each other’s careers publicly and privately.
They are considered a power couple in Bollywood. They continue to focus on their family and films. They do not let outside noise affect their peace.
