shares a relationship of mutual admiration
with Deepika Padukone, who he says he is
blessed to have in his life.
Ranveer was at the News18 Rising India
Summit when he was asked about his
relationship status with Deepika and about
his marriage plans.
Dodging the question, Ranveer, who has
never confirmed or denied a relationship
with Deepika Padukone even as rumours
have been around for some years, said, "It
is a relationship of mutual admiration... I
rate her very highly as an actor, and she
doesn't.

Padukone In My Life
"She says, You're just a ham', he quipped,
adding that she is awesome and that
"there's a lot to learn from her as an
artiste.
He acknowledged that his Bajirao Mastani,
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and
Padmaavat co-star has helped him become
a "well-rounded human being and that he
is "blessed to have her in my life.
Ranveer was also asked if his quirky and
flamboyant persona is his real self? He said
it was in 2013 that something in him
changed and he felt he didn't need to try
and fit in.
"I felt I should say what I feel like, dress the
way I feel like. It's less taxing, he said,
recounting how earlier he "was trying to be
somebody I was not.
Ranveer said his school friends don't find
his flamboyance over-the-top or made up
because they have seen him so since the
beginning.
"If you see the remarks in my report cards,
they add up to things that he loves to
entertain, he's gregarious, vivacious and I
was always pushing the style envelope even
in the fourth standard. When the cable TV
came in, I caught on the hip-hop style with
MTV and copied Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg
with the baggy jeans. I was ahead of the
curve, and I have always been this way.
