Bollywood starlet Deepika Padukone confessed that she was engaged to be married to heartthrob Ranbir kapoor.

In an interview given to a news daily, the young starlet Deepika Padukone made it official by saying:

” Within the next five years I hope to be Mrs Kapoor and the leading lady of Bollywood.”

Deepika Padukone confessed that Ranbir proposed to her at the time of their debut releases in November last year. “And I happily said yes.”

The couple met a few months earlier. She said she accepted because she was happy, deeply in love and the couple had the blessings of their parents

“It was love at first sight. We met through mutual friends and we fell for each other right away but we needed time for our love to grow before we made a serious commitment,” she also said

Brushing aside rumors of the couple heading for a split, the actress stated that such rumors really upset her, however the two have decided not to let such baseless speculation affect their affection for each other.

The latest gossip is that raunchy pictures of her with actor Upen Patel, aired on television recently, had deeply upset Ranbir. Not so, said Deepika, “Ranbir has already seen my portfolio and that was a shoot for designer Wendell Rodricks two years back when I was modelling. I am not ashamed of it.”

The star said the couple had learned not to allow such talk to affect them: “It’s ridiculous and now it has stopped affecting us also. We will decide how to conduct our relationship and nobody has a right to take us for granted and write any rubbish about us.”

‘One day, like any other girl, I intend to settle down and have children. How would those write-ups look at that time? I’m so glad I’ve found a man who comes from the same space and understand the pitfalls of sensational journalism,” said Deepika Padukone.
