Bollywood celebrities and their relationships are always under the scanner. Especially their love life which goes through several ups and downs, and is subjected to a barrage of speculations. Well, one such talked-about couple was Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor. They have since found love with other people, and seem to be on friendly terms. But, their breakup is still talked about, almost a decade later.
Deepika is one of the rare Bollywood stars who’s never afraid to speak her mind and be vocal about things that many choose to ignore. Recently, she opened up about the emotional turmoil she went through in a past relationship, the ordeal of being cheated on and how she dealt with it.
In an interview with IANS, the Chhapaak actress said, “For me, sex is not just about physicality; there are emotions involved. I have never cheated or strayed when I’m in a relationship. If I’m going to be fooling around, why would I be in a relationship? It’s better to be single and have fun. But not everyone thinks like that (sic).”
I was foolish to give him another chance, says Deepika
Without naming anyone in particular, she shared an instance where she caught her partner red-handed. She said, “Maybe that’s why I’ve been hurt in the past. I was foolish enough to give him a second chance because he begged and pleaded, despite the fact that everyone around me said he was still straying. Then I actually caught him red-handed. It took me a while to get out. But having done that, nothing can make me go back. That ship has sailed (sic).”
Deepika on infidelity in relationships
In one of her previous interviews with Free Press Journal, the actor mentioned how she started having self-doubts when she was cheated on. She said, “The first time he cheated on me, I thought there was something wrong with the relationship, or me. But when someone makes a habit of it, you know the problem lies with him. I give a lot in relationships and don’t really expect much in return. But, infidelity is the deal-breaker. Once it comes in, respect goes away, trust goes away and these are the pillars of a relationship you can’t f*ck around with it (sic).”
Well, it’s not easy to deal with betrayals. And to speak about it is even more difficult. Kudos to Deepika for always staying real and speaking her heart out.
