Mumbai: Actor Ranveer Singh feels his rumoured girlfriend Deepika Padukone looks hotter with him than her ex flame Ranbir Kapoor.
Deepika's on-screen chemistry with both Ranbir and Ranveer enjoys a separate fan following.
Recently at a promotional event of ‘Tamasha’, when Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar asked Deepika who she looks hotter with (on screen) - Ranbir or Ranveer - she played it safe and choose not to name any of the two.
When the same question was asked to Ranveer - who does Deepika look hotter with, he says, "Obviously me... Yeh koi sawal hua (Is this even a question?)."
After touching on the ‘looks' subject, journalist took things a step further and asked the actor if he ‘loved’ Deepika off screen as well. At the ‘Bajirao’ poster launch, Ranveer was left battling for words when he managed to say, "Bajirao and Mastani were real individuals, who were in love... We are playing out their story on screen."
Rumours that the duo has been dating since they starred together in 2013’s love saga ‘Ram Leela’ have yet to be confirmed by the two.
Deepika, 29, has teamed up with Ranbir, 33, for Imtiaz Ali's ‘Tamasha’ that releases later this month.
An online survey had claimed that Ranbir-Deepika would be Bollywood's most iconic on screen couple after Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol.
Ranveer, however, does not find the comparison between the two couples "right".
"Shah Rukh and Kajol are Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, while Ranbir and Deepika are Ranbir and Deepika. Each pairing has its own charm, appeal and its own legacy. I don't think it is right to compare the actors or pairing of actors," he said.
