Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor’s alleged romance frequently made headlines. The actors reported dating for two years, and their chemistry won over the audience. They also captivated the fans with their on-screen chemistry in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani despite their split.
Deepika and Rambir’s co-star Naveen Kaushik has now talked candidly about their relationship on the YJHD set.
During a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Naveen was asked about Deepika and Ranbir’s relationship on set after their breakup.
Naveen shared, “It was completely professional. Like everyone else, we also thought a fight might break out anytime, and we were almost anticipating that if something happened, we’d witness it and have some gossip to talk about."
The actor added, “But nothing like that happened. They were absolutely professional on set. Our shoot was extremely gruelling, not because of long working hours, but because of the locations.”
He recalled, “We were shooting on very steep mountains, sometimes climbing ten feet straight up, and shooting there. Despite that, there were always parties with the entire cast and crew in between. They were very cordial and very nice."

While talking about Deepika, Naveen said, “I often say this: I have never seen an actor more professional than Deepika Padukone. She was always on time, knew her job, knew her lines, and greeted everyone with a smile. She never threw a tantrum, not even once."
The actor also talked about Ranbir and added, “Even though he was already a star, he treated me like a brother. We used to pull each other’s legs. After a point, we forgot that this was Ranbir Kapoor, that the film rested on his shoulders, that he wasn’t just one of us.”
He continued, “I think he always knew he was the prince of the Kapoor family. He understood that if you love people, they will automatically love you back. And if you work with dedication, that will eventually speak for itself."
For the unversed, Naveen Kaushik, who is currently riding on the success of Dhurandhar, played the role of Sumer in YJHD.
