MUMBAI, Nov 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Bollywood superstars Deepika Padukone and
Ranveer Singh have tied the knot in Italy, Indian media reported Thursday.
The celebrity couple got married in a private ceremony at Lake Como on
Wednesday, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
The pair have yet to comment or release pictures from the event which was
closed to the media.
Padukone is arguably Indian cinema’s biggest female star currently, and
she has also broken into Hollywood, starring in “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”
opposite Vin Diesel.
Padukone, 32, and Singh 33, announced in a joint statement last month that
their wedding would take place on November 14 and 15.
The couple reportedly started dating in 2013 but have kept details of
their relationship largely out of the public eye.
Hindi film director Karan Johar, a friend of the couple, tweeted his
congratulations.
“Such a stunning gorgeous and beautiful couple!!!! Nazar utar lo! (Keep
the evil eye away) !! Badhai ho (Congratulations) !!! Love you both!!! Here’s
to a lifetime of love and joy!” he wrote on Wednesday.
The newlyweds have 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 film sets
and made threats towards the two stars.
Indian superstar Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas are due to
get married in India early next month.
