… and they rode into the sunset. Deepika Padukone relives her fairy-tale wedding even as she looks forward to a ‘happily ever after’ reality, in a heart-to-heart with Anuradha Choudhary
We’re sitting in the balcony of her office on the 30th floor in Prabhadevi. I’m enjoying the view both of her and the Mumbai skyline. To say she’s looking ethereal would be an understatement. Her blithe spirit only adds to her charm. It’s a few days after the wedding. The afterglow of the ceremony is still visible. The sindoor peeps out from her voluminous tresses, the chuda clangs in her arms while the diamond-studded mangalsutra winks mischievously from around her neck. There’s a twinkle in her eye too. Happiness hugs Deepika Padukone like a warm blanket. Her marriage to Ranveer Singh has been in the headlines. Things are just about settling down. Life is coming back to normal. She finds contentment in marriage. It’s early days yet, sure. But she’s loving the idea of waking up with someone beside her. She’s also liking playing the wife — seeing Ranveer off to work, calling him to find out what time he’ll be home, what he’ll have for dinner... These are new experiences and she’s enjoying herself.
She may not have faced the camera for two years now. But that hasn’t kept her from other achievements. According to Forbes India magazine, Deepika Padukone is the fourth highest paid celebrity in the country. Besides, she tops the list of Asia’s sexiest women. She isn’t coy about accepting her achievements. As we talk, Deepika opens up about her career, her wedding and Ranveer Singh like never before. Read on…
