Ranveer and Deepika called each other a ‘special person’ in their acceptance speeches but everyone knew who they were talking about.
Not the one to shy away from public display of affection, Ranveer Singh gave a special shout out to his beautiful girlfriend Deepika Padukone at the IIFA ceremony 2016, saying she makes him the happiest. While accepting his best actor honour at the 17th IIFA awards for Bajirao Mastani, Ranveer Singh could not resist himself from mentioning Deepika, calling her a “special person”.
Ranveer Singh said:
“There is another special person I must thank. I was moved by her performance. She is the Leela to my Ram, Mastani to my Bajirao and I don’t know what’s next. Girl, you are so fine. Nothing makes me more happier than you, I mean winning an award here with you.”
Deepika also performed to her songs from Bajirao Mastani- Mohe Rang Do Laal, Deewani Mastani and also Bajne De Dhadak Dhadak, which featured Ranveer. He could not contain his excitement to see Deepika’s power-packed performance on the number and stood up cheering her as she finished her set.
The duo have been rumoured to be dating since 2013 after working together on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela.
