When Deepika Padukone did not want to commit to Ranveer Singh: ‘I wanted to try out casual dating’

On Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s 6th marriage anniversary, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit the time when Deepika said she did not want to commit to Ranveer.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer SinghThrowback to when Deepika Padukone revealed she wanted to try the concept of 'casual dating'

Actor couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary this year. The couple, who dated for six years before getting married in 2018, are proud parents of their daughter Dua Padukone Singh. On this special occasion, we look back at the time when Deepika revealed she was doubtful about relationships and was hesitant to commit to Ranveer. However, once she realised that she and Ranveer had something special together, they never looked back.

In an interview with Filmfare in 2018, she said, “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. I had been constantly in and out of relationships. I just wanted to be alone for some time. I’ve never casually dated anyone. I’ve been in relationships since I was 13.”

Ranveer and Deepika met in 2012, just after one of her breakups. Talking about how she was not ready for a serious relationship again, she said, “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.'”

But, the Om Shaanti Om actor did not have anyone else in her life, once she met Ranveer. “But nothing happened. I couldn’t get myself to do any of that. At the same time, I did not emotionally invest in this relationship. But now when I look back, six months into it I was pretty much emotionally invested in us. After that it was when do we get married? I was never unsure about him,” she said.
