He also praised Deepika and Ranveer’s relationship, saying they are perfect for each other and jokingly added that he hoped their child would like him as an actor.
In his words:
Just the way they are with each other, they complement each other very well. They are in ways perfect to each other’s energies and I am really happy for them and I hope that they can see this through and make some really awesome babies together and I hope their babies like me as an actor and that I am their favourite actor.”
