According to the Bollywood Shaadis website, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone met back in the year 2012 during an award show. During the shoot for ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela,’ both started dating. In the first episode of ‘Koffee With Karan’ season 8, Ranveer Singh narrated the path that led to their first feeling of romance. He said that in the film ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela,’ there were plans to cast Kareena Kapoor in the female lead, which was then changed to Deepika. Ranveer revealed that he voted for Deepika as he saw the film ‘Cocktail.’. Ranveer Singh recalled the magical moment he first saw Deepika Padukone at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s house for a film reading. Dressed in a white chikankari outfit, her hair blowing in the sea breeze, Deepika’s entrance left Ranveer awestruck.
During lunch, Bhansali treated them to exotic delicacies, including crab. Trying to tease Deepika, Ranveer pointed out a piece of crab stuck in her teeth, expecting her to be embarrassed. Instead, she stunned him by casually saying, “Really? Clean it.”
Caught off guard, Ranveer hesitated before using his little finger to remove it—an electrifying moment he described as “like putting my hand in a socket… I felt a 440-volt jolt that day, and I still feel the tremors.”
