All of them attended the 'Next on Netflix' event at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai on Thursday.

Parineeti told event host Zakir Khan: Even though I am a Punjabi and can speak Punjabi properly being born in Ambala, I felt like a student in front of Diljit. It’s a treat to listen to him speak and sing in Punjabi. It brings out those little nuances and you can really gauge how much your Punjabi speaking or singing has improved.

The film is based on the legendary Indian singer and musician Amar Singh Chamkila.

Deepika-Ranveer love story started over crabs for lunch at SLB

Mumbai– It was in 2018 that one of Bollywood's most loved couples, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, got married. On Thursday morning, they announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child. How their romance took off is one of the most interesting facets of their historical relationship.

The star couple, who tied the knot in Lake Como, Italy, fell in love while filming their first film together, the adaptation of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela “, released in 2013.

It was on 'Koffee With Karan' that Ranveer and Deepika, who had remained tight-lipped about their relationship before marriage, opened up about how chemistry developed between the two.

When the show's host Karan Johar asked Ranveer if he entered the sets of the film thinking that Deepika was going to be a part of his life, he immediately replied 'no'. Deepika then intervened and asked him not to respond.

Slowly, the conversation turned to how they fell in love. Ranveer revealed that initially, it was Kareena Kapoor Khan who was supposed to star in the film, but due to some reasons, Deepika came on board.

And it was in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sea-facing house in Versova that he saw her and knew that this was it. The three were supposed to meet for a reading before filming the film.

Here's how Ranveer described Deepika's entry. “So these heavy doors open and the blowing of the wind comes from the sea, and there she is in a white chikankari outfit, like this embodiment of simplicity. Her hair was blowing in the wind and that's how she walked in, and I was like, 'Oh my God,'” Ranveer said.

He was fascinated by the look of his new wife. Ranveer shared that later they had lunch and Bhansali treated them to some of the “most exotic cuisines”.

He said: “So there were all these specialties, and there was also crab. So we all ate crab.

He then said that he was showing Deepika's smile when he noticed a piece of crab meat stuck on her teeth.

Ranveer didn't want to embarrass Deepika, who reacted to the situation in the most unexpected way. When he pointed to the piece of crab meat, Deepika opened her mouth and said, “Really? Clean up.”

Ranveer said it was like putting his “hand in the socket” and he “felt a jolt of 440 volts that day.”

The two are set to welcome their first child in September. After weeks of speculation, reported earlier by IANS, the two finally released a note confirming the news.
