Bollywood's power couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, recently painted the town red, both literally and figuratively, with their stylish appearance at a wedding. However, the glamorous outing was quickly followed by a public apology from Ranveer Singh, who found himself in hot water over comments related to the blockbuster film 'Kantara'.
Couple Goals in Crimson at Wedding Festivities
The duo, celebrated for their undeniable chemistry, was captured in a viral video from the event, looking perfectly in sync. They coordinated their outfits in striking shades of red, creating a visually stunning impact. Ranveer Singh chose a traditional kurta, accentuating his look with a garland, while Deepika Padukone turned heads in a elegant saree paired with a daring backless blouse.
Seated in the front row, the couple was engrossed in the wedding rituals, watching the bride and groom intently. The candid clip showcased several intimate moments that delighted their fans. Deepika was seen leaning in to chat with fellow guests, and at one point, she moved closer to Ranveer during the ceremony, whispering something into his ear, epitomizing real-life couple goals.
Ranveer's Viral Apology for Kantara Remarks
This heartwarming display came on the heels of a separate online storm involving Ranveer Singh. Hours before the wedding video surfaced, Ranveer issued a public apology on his Instagram Stories. This was in response to significant backlash he received after a video from another event went viral. In that clip, he was seen mimicking Rishab Shetty's powerful act as Chamundi Daiva from 'Kantara Chapter 1' and was heard referring to the deity as a "female ghost."
Addressing the controversy, Ranveer wrote, "My intention was to highlight Rishabh's incredible performance in the film. Actor to actor, I know how much it would take to perform that particular scene in the way that he did, for which he has my utmost admiration. If I've hurt anyone's sentiments, I sincerely apologise." His statement aimed to clarify his respect for the performance while expressing regret for any unintended offense caused to religious or cultural sentiments.
A Day of Contrasts for the Star Couple
The day presented a stark contrast for the celebrity pair. On one hand, they were the epitome of glamour and relationship goals, captivating audiences with their affectionate and stylish presence at a joyous celebration. On the other hand, it underscored the intense scrutiny Bollywood stars face, where a casual remark or imitation can quickly spiral into a major controversy requiring public damage control.
The wedding video gained further traction after social media personality Orry shared a fun clip with the bride. Meanwhile, Ranveer's swift apology highlights the sensitive nature of portraying cultural and religious icons in India's film landscape, a lesson recently emphasized by the monumental success and cultural impact of 'Kantara'.
