Koffee With Karan 8: Ranveer Singh reveals he proposed to Deepika Padukone in the middle of sea in Maldives

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh on Koffee With Karan 8

The first episode of Koffee With Karan 8 premiered on Disney+ Hotstar at the stroke of midnight. The new season of the chat show hosted by Karan Johar began with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. It was their first appearance together on the show. During the episode, Deepika and Ranveer split the beans on their love story and marriage.

In the first half of Koffee With Karan 8, Ranveer spoke about falling in love with Deepika and the timeline of their love story. He said they started dating in 2012. In 2015, he proposed to her and they were secretly engaged for 3 years before marrying. "We met in 2012, started dating, and the shooting of Ram Leela commenced. So half into 2012 and 2013. It was during the filming of Ram Leela that this was all happening. We were making an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. So there was this fire and Mr Bhansali was only too happy to fan this fire. It would be so apparent," Ranveer said,

Deepika added, "There were times we would go to set together. We would hang out together, go for shots together, and sit with each other post-shots. We were inseparable. Everyone was watching this. Love was in the air."

Ranveer continued, "Ram Leela happened and we're in this and when I felt the moment was right, I decided she is the one. Before anyone sweeps her away, main jaake chappal rakh deta hu. Before anything can happen, just put the ring on it. I put a diamond ring which was beyond my resources at that time but even so, an impressive one. I was in cahoots with my sister and mum acquiring the ring. We (Deepika and he) were going to take a holiday and I decided to propose to her on the holiday. I got the ring and my folks were like, "Are you going to propose?" I was like yes. They asked, "Are you not consulting her parents?" I didn't have that degree of maturity. I said, "No, I'm marrying her, so will ask her." We went to the Maldives and I secretly carried the ring with me. We did the sandbank adventure. A boat takes us out in the middle of the sea and there's just one tiny sliver of sand in the middle. There's an infinite sea around you. You can spend quality time on that sliver of sand. After the boat left, there was just me and her. I was like, "This is it, I have done it." This is the perfect scenario."

He added, "I admit that I phasaoed her. I said I wanted to make the proposal scene picture-perfect so that she'd be compelled to say yes. We were on the island, I popped the question and she didn't expect it. She got emotional and she said yes. I felt like the king of the world."
