When Deepika Padukone's Mom Got UPSET With Her for Saying 'Yes' to Ranveer Singh: 'Who Is This Guy?'

Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are expecting their first child together. The couple made the baby announcement on social media on Wednesday morning. Deepika also revealed that she’d deliver the baby in September this year. While Deepika and Ranveer fans are super excited, not many would be aware that the actress’ mother, Ujjala Padukone, initially didn’t approve of her relationship with the ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ star.

During his appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 8, Ranveer revealed that he proposed marriage to Deepika right after the release of Ram-Leela, which became a huge success. The actor said that within six months of dating, he knew Deepika was the one for him.

“We (he and Deepika) were going on a holiday and I decided that I’d propose to her on the holiday. I got the ring. And, my folks were like, ‘Are you going to propose? You don’t want to consult her parents?’ I didn’t have that degree or maturity back then. I was like, ‘No, I’m marrying her so I’ll ask her.’ So we go to the Maldives and I secretly carry the ring with me and we do the sandbank adventure,” he recalled.

Ranveer then revealed how a boat took them to the middle of the sea and there was just one tiny sliver of sand in the midst of the sea. “It was just her and me in the middle of the sea. I was like, ‘This is the perfect scenario’,” he shared.

He continued, “They dropped us off and let and now it’s just her and me on the island and I popped the question, gave her the ring, she did not expect it, and she got emotional. And that was it, she said yes and I felt like the king of the world and then we were engaged.”

After coming back from the holiday, Ranveer and Deepika went straight to Bengaluru to break the news to Deepika’s family. But unfortunately, Deepika’s mother, Ujjala Padukone, didn’t approve of their relationship.

Recalling the moment, Ranveer said, “I was sitting at the head of the table with my hands and mouth engrossed and suddenly absolutely out of nowhere, she was like, ‘He proposed marriage to me and I said yes.’ And, there was just pin-drop silence. And Ujjala’s face has just gone cold. Everybody wanted it to be a happy, memorable moment but I could sense the undercurrents. Everything has happened- hugs and celebrations. We went back home. I went into a room in their Bengaluru home. And I put my ear to the door and outside Amma and Deepika were having it out. She was saying, ‘Who is this guy? He has proposed marriage and you said yes also? This whole drama was going on outside. And I was like, ‘God save us!’ Then it took obviously years and a lot of work on my part to kind of make a place in Amma’s heart but now I think it has happened and I’m one of her favourite people in the world.”

Deepika and Ranveer tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Italy in 2018. They have worked together in several films together including Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat and ’83.
