Looking Back: Priyanka Chopra Stands by Deepika Padukone in Defending Her Relationship with Ranveer Singh; ‘Some choose to…’
Deepika Padukone, who is currently pregnant, is expecting her first child with husband Ranveer Singh in September this year. The couple, who dated for over six years before getting married, is now enjoying this new phase in their lives. During an appearance on a show, Deepika was once asked to admit that she was in a relationship with Ranveer. Her friend, Priyanka Chopra, came to her defense, supporting her decision to keep her personal life private.
Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra were guests on the fourth season of Koffee With Karan. During the episode, host Karan Johar pointed out that Deepika was dating Ranveer but chose not to discuss it publicly. Deepika maintained her smile and kept her relationship status confidential.
Karan Johar then mentioned how many people choose not to disclose their dating life. Priyanka responded, “Because some people prefer to keep it private. They don’t want it to be a topic of discussion at every dinner table.”
“I’m not criticizing her, but she has every right. If 90 percent of her life is in the public eye, the remaining 10 percent should be hers,” she added. Deepika smiled as she listened to Priyanka.
Karan also asked Priyanka if she knew about Deepika’s relationship with Ranveer, to which Priyanka declined to comment, saying it was Deepika’s personal matter. Priyanka and Deepika had previously worked together in films like Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani.
In the historical romance Bajirao Mastani, Deepika played the role of Mastani, while Priyanka portrayed Kashibai, the first wife of Bajirao, played by Ranveer. On a personal note, Deepika and Ranveer announced their pregnancy earlier this year on Instagram. The couple got married in Italy in November 2018. Priyanka’s support for Deepika truly exemplifies friendship goals.
