Ranbir Kapoor Talks About His “Toxic” Behaviour

While the week was all about Ranveer and Deepika, there was a major part where actor Ranbir Kapoor recently discussed his take on people calling him “Toxic” because of Alia Bhatt’s statement on how Ranbir liked her natural lip colour and every time she applied a lip shade, he said, “Wipe that off.” The remark made people quite enraged and everyone called out him as a “Toxic husband” and “Red Flag.” Talking about the similar incident, Ranbir very maturely considered the concern and said, “Recently, I was reading some article about being toxic and something relating to some statement I made and I understand this. And I am on the side of the people who are fighting for the toxic masculinity, if they use me as the face of it, it’s fine because their fight is bigger than just me feeling sad about them having an opinion about what I said. I look at a larger picture.” Several X (formerly Twitter) users shared short clips of Ranbir’s fan interaction and applauded the actor’s intellectual and board-minded approach on the topic.

Ranveer Deepika Wedding Video

Another surprise for DeepVeer fans was the couple’s wedding video that was released in the first episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8, and believe us when we say everyone cried oceans! The wholesome and adorable video of Deepika and Ranveer left us speechless and made us feel single beyond the level. The video included all the emotional moments of Ranveer and Deepika and some glimpses of both Sindhi and South Indian wedding festivities. The weeding video featured both of their family members talking about DeepVeer, Ranveer confessing his love to Deepika just before thier marriage, and much more. The video even made Karan tear up. The video was shared by The Wedding Filmers on their Instagram page, who shot the wedding sequence in “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.”

Ranbir’s Animal Movie Release New Song “Satranga”

The much-anticipated movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna released the second song of the movie “Satranga.” The song portrayed a not much happy married life of Ranbir and Rashmika in the movie. The song begins with Rashmika sleeping while waiting for Ranbir to break her Karwa Chauth Fast but as soon as Ranbir returns and she takes him to the balcony for the ritual, Ranbir tells her something that leaves her heartbroken. However, the couple make up by a kiss and later the two perform what seems like a puja before going to the battlefield as the last scene reveals Ranbir, who is playing a gangster in the movie, is going for a fight and takes a promise from Rashmika that she will not marry again if he dies while fighting.
