In the glitzy world of Bollywood, on-screen chemistry often sparks speculation about off-screen romance. Such was the case with Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh, whose electrifying debut in 2010's Band Baaja Baaraat had fans hoping for a real-life fairytale. However, years ago, Anushka candidly addressed the nature of their relationship, revealing an attraction that ultimately didn't translate into romance, citing their vastly different personalities.
During an appearance on Simi Selects India's Most Desirable, host Simi Garewal directly questioned Anushka about her relationship with Ranveer. While acknowledging an attraction, Anushka was quick to draw boundaries. "I was attracted to Ranveer," she admitted, "but that's it... it was just attraction, and I thought, ‘This guy is a nice guy,’ that's it...It ends there."
Anushka further elaborated on the complexities of their dynamic, describing it as "very volatile." She painted a vivid picture of their contrasting temperaments, stating, "If people get to know us really well, they will realise that we are very different people, the two of us. We have a very volatile relationship. We can kill each other...I'm serious. I can take his head off, he can take mine off."
She continued, "If we ever had to be in a relationship, we would want two different things from a relationship. We see life in a very different way. He is a very practical person, I'm a completely impractical."
Band Baaja Baaraat, directed by Maneesh Sharma, saw Anushka's Shruti Kakkar and Ranveer's Bittoo Sharma embark on a wedding planning venture, a journey that captivated audiences and launched both their careers. The film's commercial success cemented their status as rising stars.
Years later, both actors found love and built families, albeit with different partners. Anushka Sharma tied the knot with cricketer Virat Kohli in December 2017, and they are now proud parents to Vamika and Akaay. Ranveer Singh married actor Deepika Padukone in October 2018, and they are currently expecting their first child.
On the professional front, Anushka is set to grace the screens again in the sports biopic Chakda Xpress, portraying former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. Ranveer has a packed schedule with multiple projects, including a new film alongside Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan, Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, and Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. His last appearance was in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Anushka's candid revelation about her attraction to Ranveer Singh, coupled with her astute observation of their "volatile relationship" and fundamental differences, offers a glimpse into the maturity with which she approached their dynamic. It served as a reminder that while on-screen chemistry can be electrifying, real-life relationships require a deeper alignment that goes beyond mere attraction.
