_{Deepika Padukone & Sidharth Malhotra get candid about their long lasting relationship…}

_{An abstract from the exclusive Interview:}

_{It's a sunny afternoon at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Mumbai. Deepika Padukone and Sidharth Malhotra, both dressed casually in blue denims and colored shirts, sit next to each other in a corner of the reception area, holding hands. They're all smile and really kind while talking about their 3-years lasting relationship….}

_{Deepika: "Honestly, I wasn't looking for love. It just happened. I wasn't looking for anyone to be 'MINE' at this point of my career, but then… [Deepika smiles at Sidharth] … then he came into my life." [Sidharth softly kisses Deepikas nose and a subtle smile grows on his face] "I can remember our first meeting like it has been just a few days ago. I was invited to Karan's [Editor's note: Johar] birthday party."}

_{Sidharth: "I've met her a few times at some events, but we never got into a real conversation, you know?! But that night at KJo's bash, we talked to each other like old familiar buddies." Sidharth laughes and continues while he strokes her arm: "It was really hot in the lounge, Karan had set up and so she went to the terrace. I saw her, the moon shining on her face, giving her that special fairy glow. And I knew, I had fallen for her."}

_{Deepika: "It's been 3 years since that night and it's still amazing. We really understand each other. We make sure, that we'll see each other within two weeks. When he's shooting a movie, I'll visit him and way round. That's how it works."}

_{Sidharth: "I never wanted to date someone from the industry. Everyone said, this relationship won't last long, because of our busy schedules, but we manage this. Deepika is just a wonderful person to be with. She is smart, down to earth and I don't need to say this - beautiful both inside and out."}

_{Deepika slightly punches Sidharth and blushes.}

_{Deepika: "I can't deal with compliments that well, but - thanks to him - I'm getting better."}

_{She laughs and kisses him.}
