As we all know that love between Deepika and Ranveer blossomed during the shoot of their first film, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, but what we didn’t know yet as to how it all started. A crew member stated to Huffington Post about the beginning of Deepika and Ranveer’s love chronicle, “It was new love- euphoric and maddening.” The source further added that the couple was open about their relationship on the sets.
The source went on to say, “They'd call each other baby, eat together, and disappear into their vanity vans when not shooting.” The crew member revealed that Deepika and Ranveer thought that their romance would fizzle out once the film gets over, but they worked again with each other in Bajirao Mastani which was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The crew member of the film told the publication, “When I saw them during Bajirao Mastani, that's when I knew, this is something that's going to last.” Another source said that even during group dinners the lovebirds would have eyes only for each other, “It's like nothing else matters. And they talk about everything non-stop, like, say, a married couple would.”
Setting the trend, Deepika and Ranveer have asked their guests to not shower them with gifts and make donations to Deepika’s NGO - The Live Love Laugh Foundation. As per Mid-Day reports, a source stated, "The bride and groom have requested the guests to not shower them with gifts. If they wish to give them anything, they've requested that donations be made to Deepika's foundation that actively works towards creating awareness and removing the stigma around depression. Both Ranveer and Deepika are deeply committed to the cause and want to involve all their guests in the good deed."
