Deepika Padukone Waited Until Marriage to Live with Ranveer Singh
Deepika Padukone and her now-husband Ranveer Singh dated for six years before getting married, but waited until they tied the knot to move in together.
The BAZAAR.com digital cover star says the decision was difficult at times, but that it was ultimately the best decision for them as a couple.
As one of the biggest celebrities in the world, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone does things her own way. When it came to moving in with her now-husband, Ranveer Singh, however, the 33-year-old actress decided to follow tradition.
Although Padukone and Singh dated for more than six years before tying the knot last November, they didn't move in together until after the wedding—something she says was very important to her, even though she admits the decision was difficult at times.
"There was a lot of temptation to move away from the traditional, especially for the two of us, who are constantly traveling, but it was important to me," Padukone tells BAZAAR.com. "Ranveer has always been okay with whatever. He's always said, 'Whatever makes you happy makes me happy.' But for me, it's about wanting to do everything at the right time. It's how I saw my parents do it, so I didn't know any other way."
Ultimately, however, Padukone says she's glad she and Singh waited to live together until after the wedding. As the couple approaches their one-year anniversary as husband and wife, they list the decision as one of the best of their lives.
"If we had started living together earlier, then what would we be discovering later on?" she poses. "That's what this year has been—living together and discovering each other. I like to say we made the best decision of our lives. I know people are cynical about marriage, but that hasn't been our experience. We believe in the institution, and we're enjoying every bit of it."
