Anupama: There is a lot of buzz, rumors and speculation around all this steam, all this passion. And you are fueling it by saying things like I have lovaria. You are giving interviews like that. And you (Deepika) are not saying anything. I am really confused. What is going on?

Ranveer: That was a day after I got out of the hospital with dengue.

Anupama: You are attributing it to illness?

Ranveer: No, I am attributing it to...

Deepika: ...mental illness.

Ranveer: ...brain fever.

Deepika: It has got to his brain.

Ranveer: I was on lot of medication that day. I would advise any responsible professional to not give public interviews when you are on those many drugs that will make you rather loopy. So let’s leave that particular one. I, in the future, will be more responsible and not give interviews on drugs.

Deepika: It's amazing the way he is

Anupama: Do you get mad when he does things like that? Do you just tell him, “What were you thinking?”?

Deepika: No, it’s amazing the way he is. He is so unique. And I think what I admire about him is he is so unapologetic about the way he is. Whether it is the way he dresses or the way he carries himself or the way he speaks and I think that’s what makes him so pleasantly different from everyone else.

Ranveer: I am the irresponsible one

Anupama: Okay. So officially are you or are you not seeing each other?

Deepika: What you looking at me for? You gave that loopy interview.

Ranveer: I am the irresponsible one. Do you really want me answering this question?

Deepika: Yes, she is asking you.

Anupama: No, I am asking both of you. Your answer is no.

Ranveer: No.

Anupama: And your answer is?

Deepika: I have always said no.

Ranveer: (laughs)

'There is so much speculation about this alleged romance'

Anupama: Why you both look like you’re completely lying?

Ranveer: I don’t know. I’m not lying. (Both laugh)

Deepika: I think it’s amazing that there is so much speculation about this alleged romance between the two of us. It’s great as long as the film, it works for the film. I think it’s also because from the time we have started working, yes, we did hang out. We do hang out. We do go out and so much is always said about two people just hanging out. But it’s fine. I appreciate that people see this chemistry between the two of us and eventually I think what is the most important, is that it translates onscreen and we have that going for us. I think that’s the most important thing.
