There are no two ways to the thought that Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are one of the most loved couples, both on and off screen. After hiding their relationship for about seven-long years, the actors gave the biggest surprise of their life by announcing the date of their marriage to their fans and friends. While the much-looked-forwar to wedding day has finally arrived, here we give you a timeline of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s relationship. Read on...

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s love story looks like a fairytale and it all started at an event in abroad which the two attended. Deepika had donned a glittering silver attire and not to mention she looked absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. So much so that Ranveer still remembers the day very vividly even today.

When a fan had asked the actor as to how he could possibly remember the day so clearly, he had said, “How can one possibly forget that sight?! #dropdeadgorgeous

While for DP, it has been just the opposite. When somebody mentioned to her about how talented Ranveer was after his debut film, she was like, ‘I am not so sure. He’s not my type!’

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali roped in Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh for his film, ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela’ and it was the first time the two actors worked together. The romance that began during the shoot has already started making headlines outside.

Although both the actors denied all the reports, their sizzling chemistry in the film was much appreciated by the audience and critics. The film too reportedly went on to become a box-office hit.

Interestingly, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone weren’t the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali. A Pakistani actor named Imran Abbas was reportedly approached for the role of Ram and Kareena Kapoor Khan was the first choice for the role of Leela.

After ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela’, Deepika started shooting for ‘Finding Fanny’ along with Arjun Kapoor and others in Goa. If reports are anything to go by, Ranveer was often drop on the sets on ‘Finding Fanny’ to meet Deepika.

So much so that, director Homi Adjania was once chatting with the actor on the sets and suddently the idea of having him for a cameo in the film came up and he agreed to do it. Ranveer played the character of Deepika Padukone’s late husband in the movie.

If you found this interesting, wait for the major twist we are about to reveal. Reportedly, DP had no idea about the fact that Ranveer will be having a special cameo in the film and that he will be playing her late husband. Well, we can only imagine her sheer delight on finding that out!

All this while Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone kept their little secret to themselves and denied having in anyway involved in a romantic relationship.

The two, in 2014, had attended Farah Khan’s birthday party. While we are sure they and the others at the party must have had a blast at the party inside, it was what was to be followed after the party that caught the attention of the paparazzi, who were stationed outside the birthday venue.

In a picture that did quite a few rounds on the social media, Dippy can be seen walking out with Karan Johar while Ranveer is seen following her with a rose in his hand for the actress. His expression and the emotion surely take away the cake!

In the year 2015 when Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor were hosting an awards event, Ranveer’s lovely gesture for the actress on the stage did not go unnoticed. The actress, who went on stage to collect her award, was apparently flattered by Ranveer who not only went on his knees but also sang a romantic poetry for his then alleged ladylove.

Ranveer also sang the song ‘Ram chahe leela chahe’ from the movie.

The duo also posed for a magazine cover where the duo looked absolutely smashing together. Speaking about posing with Deepika, Ranveer heaped praise on DP and reportedly said that nobody looks at anything when Deepika is in the frame and that he wouldn’t.

Following their crackling performance and sizzling chemistry in ‘Golyon Ki Raasleela ‘Ram-Leela’, Deepika and Ranveer were roped in for another of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, ‘Bajirao Mastani’. The duo played the titular roles in the film.

And needless to say, they delivered another hit for Bhansali at the box-office. The film even went on to gain many accolades and awards.

Speaking about his experience of working with Deepika Padukone, Ranveer had reportedly said that he thinks that to have ‘Piku’ and ‘Tamasha’ in the same year as ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is truly an incredible feat. He also added that she inspired him as a performer and he admired her tremendously as a person and an individual.

Though Deepika and Ranveer never came out in open about their relationship but their social media posts, comments and conversations were surely something that you simply could not have missed.

Be it their comments on each others’ pictures or their super funny videos, they never failed to amaze their fans.

The video of Deepika Padukone chopping off Ranveer’s moustache after the release of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ also did rounds on the internet for quite some time.

In the year 2016, given the hectic schedule of both the actors, they were rarely spotted together in the open. That reportedly gave rise to speculations that they might have parted ways. And various bizarre reasons of their break-up also filled gossip columns.

However, by the end of the year, DP and Ranveer attended a bash by the Ambanis and their picture where they walked hand-in-hand gave rest to all the speculations arising over their alleged relationship.

After ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali roped in his favourite jodi of Ranveer and Deepika once again for his magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’. Deepika was seen playing the role of Rani Padmavati while Ranveer Singh played the antagonist Alauddin Khilji in the film.

The film has its own share of controversies owing to which the film was delayed for several months. And during the course of time, the entire team of the film reportedly suffered a lot, right from incurring losses from the damage on the sets to getting death threats.

Even Deepika had received death threats during that time. However, the actors stood for each other at all times and endured everything together.

As they say, all’s well that ends well. The film not only saw the light of the day but also received overwhelming response. Although DP and Ranveer did not have any scenes together in the film, their individual performances were highly praised.

After the release of their much awaited film, ‘Padmaavat’, reports of their impending marriage kept on doing the rounds on the internet. Pictures of Deepika visiting her parents’ house in Bengaluru to going jewellery shopping, everything raised curiosity but nothing came up from their side.

Finally, on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, Ranveer and Deepika took to their social media handles to officially announce their wedding and share their wedding invitation cards.

No sooner did the announcement was made, their friends, fans and well-wishers went berserk with happiness. Wishes poured in from all quarters.
