Bollywood star couple announce wedding dates
NEW DELHI, Oct 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Bollywood superstars Deepika Padukone
and Ranveer Singh announced Sunday that they are tying the knot, ending
months of speculation about their relationship.
The pair confirmed they will be married next month in a statement posted
on their official Twitter accounts in Hindi and English.
“With the blessings of our families, gives us immense joy in sharing that
our wedding is set to take place on the 14th and 15th of November, 2018,” it
stated.
Padukone, 33, and Singh 32, reportedly started dating in 2013 but had kept
details of their relationship largely out of the public eye. Padukone is one
of Bollywood’s highest-paid stars and one to break into Hollywood, starring
in “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” opposite Vin Diesel.
The soon-to-be-weds have also shared the silver screen together, including
a controversial Bollywood epic earlier this year that sparked violent
protests in northern India.
Padukone played a legendary Hindu queen and Singh a medieval Muslim ruler
in the flick, which angered hardliners, some of whom burned down cinemas and
made threats towards the two stars.
Singh debuted in 2010 and has worked in 14 films. Padukone has acted in
about 40 movies since 2006.
