Ranveer-Deepika to wed?

August 06, 2014 17:48 IST

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer SinghThat Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are a couple seems seems to be evident.

A director, who has worked with both of them, claims they are heading for the altar.

"They’re very serious about one another. When they’re in public, they pretend to be just friends. But away from prying eyes, they don’t care to hide their feelings for one another," says the director.

The entire unit of Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do is aware of how close the couple is. One of the actors from location spills the beans: “Ranveer was shooting with us in Istanbul. I had no clue about his closeness to Deepika. When she suddenly showed up on location, I was like... is she doing a guest appearance?

"When I asked Zoya, she gave me a funny look. It was only then that we came to know Deepika was there to meet Ranveer. I have heard from the other actors that they are thinking of tying the knot next year."

Says a reliable source, “The relationship grew on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela. Earlier Salman and Aishwarya’s relationship had also grown on the sets of Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor were seeing each other during the shooting of Bhansali’s Saawariya. Unlike the other two couples who fell in love on Bhansali’s set and parted soon after, Deepika and Ranveer are seriously thinking of taking their relationship forward."

"They will be spending a lot of time together during the shooting of Bajirao Mastani -- close to 150 days. That’s when they will take a call on their marriage," continues the source.
