Deepika Padukone once admitted she still loves Ranbir Kapoor after their breakup; Says 'I will always be possessive'

MUMBAI: Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were back together for the first time since their separation on screen for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

The screen and the box office were ablaze with their chemistry. Additionally, it seemed in the promos that Deepika and Ranbir are now good friends and have moved on from the past.

However, Deepika said that she still loved Ranbir in an interview for Tamasha, their second movie together following their breakup. Ranbir added that he saw Deepika as a member of his family. When the popular news portal questioned Deepika if she still loved Ranbir, she responded, "Of course I do."

“He is someone I have always loved and someone I will always be extremely possessive about and very protective about. When I read about him, when I see his work, good bad whatever it is, I have my own monologue that is going on in my head and which I do share with him,” she added.

“I might even pick up the phone and talk to him immediately. There was a phase he was going through where I felt that his behaviour had changed a bit (I didn’t know it was intentional or had he become that person or it was misinterpreted). But it bothered me a lot. We are not in each other’s lives to know whether the change was permanent or it was completely fabricated. But the point is the things about him that were being reported, I felt that I had the right to pick up the phone on him and tell him that what was going on was not correct. Similarly with his film, the minute I see his work, I will tell him. Likewise, he will see my films and tell me what he liked and what he didn’t like,” she added.

When questioned if he still loved her, Ranbir said that he did, but he added that it was not an immature love. “Yes, of course. The amount of love I have for Deepika is like family. It’s very warm, it’s about care, about being proud of her. The facet of love, care and respect has changed but changed for the better. It’s not your immature I love her kind of feeling. It’s mature and that’s come with age. Also, we have both positively moved on with our lives,” he said.

Deepika and Ranbir are not married to each other anymore. On the other hand, Ranbir and Alia Bhatt are married and have a daughter together. Deepika is expecting her first child with Ranveer Singh, her husband.
