Ranveer Singh reveals he used to feel that Deepika Padukone is way away from his league

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone met on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela and love blossomed between the two. They were in a relationship for five years before tying the knot in November 2018.

Well, Ranveer and Deepika are surely giving us a lot of couple goals through their social media PDA. But, the former recently revealed he used to feel that Deepika is way away from his league.


Recently, Ranveer did an Insta Live session with football player Sunil Chhetri and during the session he spoke about his relationship with Deepika. The actor said, “I was very sure that I wanted to marry this girl in six months of being in a relationship with her. I knew she loves flowers, lilies in particular. I wanted her to be mine for life. I was very diligent in wooing her. So, every time she would come, there would be flowers. I would also make short trips if she was shooting somewhere else. I remember my father once turned around and said, ‘do you realise how much money you are spending on flowers?’ and I replied, ‘Laxmi ke avatar me chappar faad ke aayenge (she’ll be an avatar of Goddess Laxmi and money will rain on us).’ I used to feel that she is way away from my league. So, I did everything during the courting period.”

Talking about how he is spending his lockdown, Ranveer told Sunil, “I have been engaging this period of lockdown in quite different ways. In the first two weeks, it felt like something, then in the first month, then a month and a half and now it’s been 2 months. So, I have been going through various phases.”

“Every time you wake up in the morning and read the news, read what is happening and it’s a very grim scenario. It’s disturbing, it’s actually devastating to witness what is happening in this unprecedented pandemic to all our brothers and sisters not just in our country but across the world,” he added.

Talking about Ranveer’s movies, the actor was gearing up for the release of 83, but due to the lockdown the film has been postponed. Directed by Kabir Khan, the movie also starred Deepika Padukone in a pivotal role. Ranveer was also supposed to start shooting for Takht in April, however, the shooting schedule of the movie has also been pushed ahead.

Meanwhile, Deepika was going to start shooting for Shakun Batra’s next, but because of the lockdown the shooting of the untitled film has been delayed.

Scarlett Johansson has finally addressed the jaw-dropping joke about her that aired during Saturday Night Live’s holiday episode in December. Her husband, Colin Jost, was made to deliver the punchline live on air, and Johansson, watching from backstage, was left stunned. In a recent interview with InStyle, she described the moment as “so gross” and admitted she couldn’t believe the show went that far.

The joke was part of the show’s annual “Weekend Update” tradition, where Jost and his co-host Michael Che write outrageous jokes for each other to read without any prior warning. This time, Che handed Jost a line that compared Johansson to a Costco roast beef sandwich in a joke about their sex life. When Jost read it aloud, the audience gasped.

Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Stan Lee spent his life bringing superheroes to the world—Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and so many more. But behind the joyful cameos and conventions, his last years were marked by serious exploitation. A new documentary, Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, talks about the dark, uncomfortable truth about what really happened.

The film is being put together by Jon Bolerjack, who worked closely with Lee during his final four years. Bolerjack wasn’t just an assistant; he was a witness to what many believe was the mishandling and manipulation of an ageing legend. According to Bolerjack, Lee was constantly pushed to sign memorabilia and make public appearances, despite his poor health. In video clips already shared, Lee appears exhausted while being shuffled between events.
