Actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have disclosed that they were secretly engaged for three years before their wedding in 2018. During a 2023 appearance on the eighth season of the television show Koffee With Karan, the couple shared details about their relationship timeline and the initial stages of their commitment.
Ranveer Singh confirmed that he proposed to Deepika Padukone in 2015. Addressing his decision to secure the relationship, the actor joked during the interview, "Isse pehle ke koi aur aa jaaye, maine kahaa, main chappal rakh deta hoon," which translates to, "Before someone else came along, I thought I should make a move." Deepika Padukone referred to the gesture as an "advance booking."
Deepika Padukone also discussed her mindset at the time they met, noting she was initially hesitant about starting a committed relationship following previous experiences. "I wanted to be single for a while because I had come from difficult relationships," she explained, adding that despite her reservations, they eventually chose to commit to each other.

Since then, their family has expanded with the birth of their first daughter, Dua, on September 8, 2024, followed by the birth of their second daughter, Devi, in September 2026.
