In an interview with Indian film critic Anupama Chopra to promote xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, Vin Diesel – Hollywood’s beefed-up, action movie icon – may have let slip Deepika Padukone’s admirers a tiny, yet significant, piece of information they have been clinging on to the edge of their seats for: that Ranveer Singh is in fact the Bollywood darling’s boyfriend.
It became kind of even more official when Deepika passed a shy smile, and didn’t deny what Diesel said. The actor mentioned that Singh complimented him on how his strong body conveys more in an action that words do.
The muscled-up Diesel commented, “He said the mastery of your body is so impressive from a third person’s point of view because of the way you turn and the way you stand impacts more than the words and the lines, and I explained that comes from being a bouncer.”
While Deepika and Ranveer Singh have been quite openly close, praising each other, being crazily-adorable in their pictures, talking about each other in such a loving manner – and generally getting marked as ‘relationship goals’ by many – neither of the two has ever specifically admitted to being in a relationship.
Diesel arrived in India on January 12 for the premiere of his film xXx 3 – the latest iteration in the series – along with Deepika Padukone, and was welcomed to traditional dhol music and Indian greeting customs.
