The Carnival Called Ranveer Singh
Many folks out there might dislike Ranveer Singh because, well, let’s admit it, he’s a one-man carnival. But you see, that’s exactly why I adore him! He’s unapologetically uninhibited – loud, vivacious, and proud of it. He doesn’t just wear his heart on his sleeve; he flaunts it on his collar, belts, shoes, and pretty much everywhere else! 😄
Have you observed how he treats the women in his life? The way he gazes at them with adoration and pride? His emotions flow freely, and he’s not afraid to show it. Now, Deepika might appear to be his total opposite – and that’s probably why they’re such a perfect power couple – the yin to his yang, the calm to his storm.
Koffee with Karan: A New Brew
Imagine my surprise and sheer delight when I found out they RSDP-ed (that’s Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone for you) their way onto the opening episode of Season 8 of “Koffee with Karan.” It’s just been released on Disney Hotstar early this week.
Let me spill some beans about the show. It’s notably toned down – the set, the famous (or infamous) couch, the grandeur, the colours, and even the questions!! You’ll notice that Karan’s style has evolved as well. He openly admits that after getting trolled for his bold fashion choices, he took a long, hard look in the mirror and thought, “I look like a madman.” He talks about how he took criticism of his fashion choices in stride and emerged with a more refined image. His evolution shows that he’s not just a flamboyant celebrity, but also a man with an adaptable style sense.
(One can only hope that the responsibilities of fatherhood and the challenges he has faced have led to genuine personal growth. It’s hard to say whether this recent transformation is a heartfelt change or merely a strategic image makeover for the public eye.)
A Tale of Love and Togetherness
Now, let’s dive back into the episode. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the shallow discussions and mindless gossip of previous seasons. After 5 years of wedded bliss, Ranveer and Deepika, decked out in all-black attire, still look like the lovebirds they were on day one!
Ranveer did most of the talking in the first half. His passionate storytelling had me transitioning from gasps of amazement to moments of romantic ‘awww’s. Whether it was the story of the first time he laid eyes on Deepika (think Janice from Friends’ iconic “oh.my.god”), his heartwarming proposal (I am swooning), or his endearing efforts to win over Deepika’s mother, each narrative was nothing short of a romance novel, trust me! 😍
A Touching Revelation
One of the most heartwarming moments is when Deepika opens up about her battle with depression. Her admission of how Ranveer supported her silently during her depression is touching. It’s a reminder that even Bollywood stars face real-life challenges and support each other. While she spoke, my eyes were glued to Ranveer (obviously). Not once did he interrupt her!
Ranveer’s reaction was simply beautiful. He listened to her with unwavering attention, offering reassurance with tender pecks on her shoulder whenever she discussed a difficult topic. At times, he rested his head on her shoulder. These subtle yet significant gestures showcased the depth of his affection for her; not to mention blatantly smashing the stereotypical “macho” husband/boyfriend image that society often perpetuates.
The episode’s highlight is the exclusive, never-before-seen footage from their wedding ceremonies, accompanied by a beautiful background score – one of the best renditions of “Ik Onkar” that I’ve heard. Ranveer’s groom speech is just adorable and will make you smile.
Karan’s Emotional Moments
Karan Johar has always come across as shallow to me, so it’s heartening to see him get emotional at times – like when he teared up watching the wedding video or when he talks about how he misses having a partner to share his life. The episode offers a glimpse into the very human side of Karan Johar, a departure from his usual persona.
What Others Say
A few of my friends, fellow Ranveer fans, had a lot to say about my review and the celebrities. Some of the comments are compiled here.
Ranveer’s public displays of affection, still unexplored territory for many Indians, often make people cringe. Some might dismiss it as sour grapes, but it takes a supremely self-assured man to be so openly demonstrative of his feelings, especially when your wife is ‘The DP.’
He loves loudly, gives 100% bear hugs (not those lame side or half hugs), wears his heart on his sleeves, and openly adores his wife and friends. In a world where unnecessary shame often weighs on emotions, Ranveer’s openness is a refreshing departure from the norm.
As Deepika pointed out, Ranveer has the emotional quotient she feels all men should have. His ability to openly express his emotions, even tears, is a sign of a man who would make a great partner.
The Hopeless Romantic
There are still some rare instances when the hopeless romantic in me pokes her head out – This episode is one!! It will fill you with all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings – “jaise mere dil ka peth bhar gaya”!
The love between Ranveer and Deepika shines through, making us believe in love again. Their connection as a couple felt remarkably genuine, and it’s possible they have one of the most authentic relationships among Bollywood couples.
So, if you’re up for some heartwarming and fuzzy feels, this is a must-watch episode. Go on and watch it, while I hit the remote to “Play from the beginning”, all the while sighing over why I don’t have my very own Ranveer in my life.
(Oh, and don’t fret about my husband; he’s fully aware; and has wisely “washed his hands off” the “gone case” that’s me!) 😂📺
