Ranveer Singh Wishes His 'Gudiya’ Deepika Padukone On Their Second Wedding Anniversary After marriage, DeepVeer did not get much time to spend in each other’s company owing to their work commitments. The couple, however, got the opportunity to spend time with each other during the period of nationwide lockdown. The ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress recently opened up on her experience of spending so much time with her husband and feels grateful that they were able to be with each other. Deepika told Hindustan Times, “Absolutely. We were certainly not complaining. It (lockdown) has, of course, been a difficult time for a lot of people. And that’s why, the one thing that I absolutely feel, this year, is gratitude. Just to be able to be at home with each other, and being safe is a blessing. Thank God, we (she and Ranveer) didn’t get locked down without each other, which happened to quite a few people. So, what more can we ask for.” Speaking on resuming her work amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ‘Piku’ actress told the publication, “Honestly, there was a lot of enthusiasm, and a little bit of nervousness too. And more than the pandemic, it was due to being unsure of how what the processes are going to be.” Deepika further said that following COVID-19 protocols on set has now become a ‘second nature’. She added, “Now, we know what the drill is and all of us take extra precautions, in terms of following guidelines, wearing masks, and even sanitisation, of not just our hands but all the equipments too. Before the shoot, we are also taken through a drill of what it’s going to be like. So, that way, we work in a very safe environment. Initially though, it was exhausting as it’s something you’re not used to but once you get used to it, it’s fine.”
