Ranveer Singh says wife Deepika Padukone ‘grounds’ him: ‘Her grace and poise complements my energy’

Ranveer Singh acknowledges the part Deepika Padukone plays in grounding his flamboyance. He said that their on-screen chemistry is natural.

Ranveer says that Deepika is the perfect foil to him given his energy and flamboyance.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone make for perhaps the most influential couples in the film industry and India. The duo is often the stuff of speculation and discourse, but even the naysayers can’t but accept their star power. After a long interval — Ranveer and Deepika were last seen together in 2024’s Singham Again — the new parents were seen together for a promotional campaign. They had earlier done films such as Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, 83, Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani together.

Talking about their diverse energies, Ranveer says that Deepika is the perfect foil to him given his energy and flamboyance. Talking about working with Deepika, Ranveer said, “I love working with Deepika. Our on-screen chemistry is so natural. There’s an authenticity there that’s priceless. That really resonates with the audience.”

He also spoke of her poise that helps ground him. “When it was just me, the vibe was definitely playful and just really full-throttle hype mode,” he told Hindustan Times. “But with Deepika, there’s a grounding presence. She brings grace and poise that complements my energy… Together, we reflect two different traveller types and find interesting things to do in the city – as a couple”.

As their campaign together is all about travel, he explained what they look for when travelling. “She used to always see pictures and videos of my trips to the place and would be like, ‘It looks so amazing! I would love to see and experience it!’ So, finally exploring the place with her has been special as a whole. I can’t really pick any one moment. There have been many special moments. The best part is we have only scratched the surface. There’s still so much more to do.”

Both Deepika and Ranveer have high-powered projects coming up next.

While Ranveer will be seen in Dhurandhar in December — his first release in 2 years, Deepika is shooting for Shah Rukh Khan-starrer King. She has also been in the middle of a controversy after exiting Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2. Her exit primarily came amid her demand for 8-hour work shift. “In the Indian film industry, there are a lot of male actors who have been working on an 8-hour shift for years, and it has never made headlines. I don’t think what I am asking for is ridiculously unfair. I think only someone who has worked in the system enough will know the conditions that we work in. I am saying this as if I may say so…a top star. Imagine what the working conditions must be like for everyone else in the crew,” the 39-year-old told Brut.
