“I Could Be Naked In Front of Ranveer... and I Know He Will Never Hurt Me: Deepika”
That’s what the headline on the front page of Bombay Times announced on Thursday morning. So Deepika Padukone seems to have given a pretty candid and no-holds-barred interview here, most of us imagined.
The more curious reader might have quickly scanned through the Q&As to know what other salacious details the actress went into, only to find that Deepika was actually innocently talking about the emotional depth of her relationship with Ranveer Singh.
Take a look at the actual Q&A
Q: Ranveer says he feels a divine connection with you. What do you feel?
He is my best friend (and this is not to be taken lightly). I am emotional, sensitive and vulnerable and I hurt easily. I can be so naked in front of Ranveer... and I know he will never hurt me or take me for granted. That is the kind of trust and understanding we have. The reason I love and respect him is that I can bare my soul and still feel comfortable. If this is divine connection - this is what it is!
A new low in the list of misleading headlines here? Deepika had earlier stood up to a rather controversial examination of her cleavage by the very same publication. We wonder what the actress has to say about this misconstrued headline now.
