A source stated in an interview with mid-day the reason why they chose Lake Como as their wedding destination. 'Since they are both from non-filmy families, they wanted a quiet wedding away from the prying eyes of the world. The Mumbai and Bengaluru receptions though will be a snazzy affair.

Both Ranveer and Deepika are deeply committed to the cause and want to involve all their guests in the good deed,' revealed the source

Before tying the knot, when asked about the status of his relationship with Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh had once said that he shares a relationship of mutual admiration with her, and is 'blessed' to have her in his life. 'It is a relationship of mutual admiration... I rate her very highly as an actor, and she doesn't,' said the Bajirao Mastani actor

Ranveer Singh had also quipped, 'She says, 'You're just a ham',' adding that she is 'awesome' and that 'there's a lot to learn from her as an artiste'. He acknowledged that his Bajirao Mastani, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and Padmaavat co-star has helped him become a 'well-rounded human being' and that he is 'blessed' to have her in his life

The buzz of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh getting married began after they rang in New Years', 2018, with their respective parents in the Maldives, and the presence of their peers blew a spark of their engagement there. What added fuel to fire was Ranveer Singh's maternal grandmother's wish of meeting the dimpled beauty. In January 2018, a report claimed that Ranveer drove with Deepika to his late grandma's residence in Bandra. The report further suggested that post spending some quality time there, Ranveer and Deepika headed to the former's residence to spend some time alone. Back then, their meeting had strongly indicated marriage being on cards!

In one of the talk shows hosted by Neha Dhupia, BFFs with Vogue, Dhupia interrogated Deepika Padukone about her engagement in the Maldives and the actress denied it. 'I was not engaged,' she said. Prodding further Neha asked her to show her ring finger to check if there was a tan on it. And the tan was indeed evident! She further indicated that she was sporting a ring during her vacation in the Maldives, where they were rumoured to exchange rings. Deepika was with her sister Anisha Padukone on the show and the latter in jest said, 'She has been engaged successively for the last four years'

In 2017, in a media interaction when the dimpled beauty was asked about her engagement with her beau, she said, 'There's no such plan ANYTIME soon. I'm not pregnant, I'm not having a baby, I'm not engaged and I'm not married. And I'm not even planning to get married anytime soon'

In November 2017, a clip went viral where Deepika Padukone as the first guest on Shah Rukh Khan's talk show, 'Baatein with Baadshah' was seen watching Ranveer's message for her. Dressed in a shiny silver jacket and blue shades, Ranveer was seen dancing hilariously to the Kumar Sanu hit song 'Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga' from the film 1942 - A Love Story, picturised on Manisha Koirala and Anil Kapoor. Ranveer ended the message saying, 'Mandir mein ho ek jalta diya, Diya, yaani ke Deepika, yaani ke aap. Aapke baare mein kya kahun? Jis tareeke se aap, apne karoron chahne waalon ke dilon me ujaala ban ke aayi, meri zindagi mein ujala ban ke aayi. Mai upar wale se yahi dua karunga ki aapki bhi zindagi me ujala barkaraar rahe, humesha humesha ke liye. There's nobody like you! God bless you and love you a lot.'

Ranveer Singh had even confessed that Deepika Padukone is a 'really good kisser'. Ranveer, who was a guest on Neha Dhupia's podcast, made a candid confession that he considers Deepika a fab kisser. He said, 'I think Deepika is the best kisser. Have you seen that song, Ang Laga De from Ram Leela?' Their smouldering chemistry on screen was indeed unmissable in Ram-Leela

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, are one of tinsel town's hottest couples. Ranveer apparently calls Deepika 'Booboo', while Dippy calls him 'Clown'. Those are some romantic nicknames, aren't they?
