New Delhi: Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have been married for five years now. The couple started dating in 2012 during Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Ram-Leela' and secretly got engaged in 2015. While the two actors have always spoken about their love for children, Deepika in a recent interview shared that she is looking forward to having a child with Ranveer one day.
In a recent interview, Deepika also spoke about the value she wants her children to imbibe from her.
"Ranveer and I love children. We look forward to the day when we will start our own family,” Deepika said in an interview with Vogue, Singapore.
"When I meet the people I have grown up with—my aunts, uncles, family friends—they always mention how I haven’t changed one bit. That says a lot about our upbringing.” Deepika spoke about her family.
“In this industry, it’s easy to get carried away by fame and money. But no one treats me like a celebrity at home. I am a daughter and a sister first. I don’t want that to change. My family keeps me grounded and Ranveer and I hope to inculcate the same values in our children,” she added.
In 2019, Deepika Padukone stated that while she wanted to have children with Ranveerm they were not thinking about it actively. She also expressed her views on societal expectations from couples.
"I think it’s sad that society kind of puts itself and people in this rut that okay you are dating for so long toh shaadi kab hogi, shaadi ke baad bacche and then grandchildren. It’s almost like it’s the said expectation. I’m not surprised (by the rumours), we’re not surprised by it at all,” Deepika had then told HT Cafe.
"Do we intend on having children? Of course we do, we both love kids. But do we intend on having children anytime soon? Absolutely not! We’re too selfishly at this point focused on our careers and I don’t think it would be fair to have kids at this point. We’re not even thinking about kids.” DP had then said.
