Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor’s romance used to be the talk of the town. They reportedly dated for two years, and in that time, their fans couldn’t stop gushing over their chemistry. However, even
after the breakup, their chemistry continued to impress fans in films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Now, their co-star has opened up about their dynamic on the YJHD set.
Actor Naveen Kaushik, who is currently seen in Dhurandhar, played Sumer in YJHD. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, the actor was asked about Deepika and Ranbir’s dynamic on set as they had broken up. Naveen shared, “It was completely professional. Like everyone else, we also thought a fight might break out anytime, and we were almost anticipating that if something happened, we’d witness it and have some gossip to talk about.”
He said, “But nothing like that happened. They were absolutely professional on set. Our shoot was extremely gruelling, not because of long working hours, but because of the locations. We were shooting on very steep mountains, sometimes climbing ten feet straight up, and shooting there. Despite that, there were always parties with the entire cast and crew in between. They were very cordial and very nice.”
Naveen said about Deepika, “I often say this: I have never seen an actor more professional than Deepika Padukone. She was always on time, knew her job, knew her lines, and greeted everyone with a smile. She never threw a tantrum, not even once.”
As for Ranbir, he said, “Even though he was already a star, he treated me like a brother. We used to pull each other’s legs. After a point, we forgot that this was Ranbir Kapoor, that the film rested on his shoulders, that he wasn’t just one of us. I think he always knew he was the prince of the Kapoor family. He understood that if you love people, they will automatically love you back. And if you work with dedication, that will eventually speak for itself.”
Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone will soon be seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer King. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in Ramayana and Love And War.
