They don't exactly fit in what people consider Bollywood.
Deepika is exotic but not classically beautiful,
Ranveer is himself without putting on an act to please the audiences and fans.
They are both sort of the couple who are anti cliche Bollywood.
Yeah I kind agree with this. Despite Deepika's recent successes, and Ranveer's recent claims to fame, I find them both to be underdogs. I think they are sort of outsiders in Bollywood for some reason. After watching Koffee with Karan (stupid, I should stop because he infuriates me), I find that the "industry families" are a bit meanspirited toward Deepika and Ranveer and that irks me no end. If it was merit-based I could understand but it's almost like these two are having great streaks in their career so they must be bashed by everyone.
Topic at hand: no I cant compare them to SRK and Kajol because I actually find that jodi very overrated. I only ever bought into them in KKHH, and even that wasnt fully because I found the storyline so problematic. I genuinely find Deepika and Ranveer more enigmatic and watchable.
