Mumbai: Actress Deepika Padukone says, when she professes her love for Ranbir Kapoor, it often gets misconstrued.
"I don't think you can define love... He said he loves me, I said I love him, it's misconstrued and it's stated very differently, because love is not just one feeling. It's a very layered emotion, layered feeling. It's something which develops overtime...
"So it's not one dimensional that 'Oh I love him' means only one thing. It's comes from a place of honesty, respect and being protective of one another," Deepika told reporters at an event in the city.
The 29-year-old actress was speaking on the occasion of a 'Chemistry Meter' event for their upcoming film 'Tamasha'.

Ranbir, 33, said the duo have made their individual identity and are not trying to sell their personal history.
"Deepika and I started our journey in the film industry 8 years ago. I think we have worked hard to make our individual identities... We try that individual people like our work. We are not trying to sell our personal life or history.
"We try to do our best on screen and hope audience likes our work. It doesn't affect our personal relationship." Deepika, who has worked with Ranbir in "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and "Bachna Ae Haseeno", said she respects the genuine friendship she has with the "Bombay Velvet" star.
"There's much more what goes into a relationship than just chemistry. What we value and appreciate more is that we have a genuine friendship for life. That's what we respect about each other the most."
Ranbir Kapoor and DeepikaPadukone's chemistry has been compared to that of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, and the actress says the duo are huge fans of the iconic pair.
Shah Rukh-Kajol starrer "Dilwale" marks the reunion of the classic pair who last worked together in 2010.
"We were asked once which film would we like to be a part of and we both said 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'. We belong to the generation where as a love story, the film has really impacted our lives. Just like all their other fans, we belong to the fan group," Deepika told reporters here.
Ranbir and Deepika, who have earlier worked in "Bachna Ae Haseeno" and "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", will be seen together next in Imtiaz Ali's "Tamasha".
Ranbir said he was excited for "Dilwale". "Whenever Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol come together for a film or do a song, there is great excitement. "When 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' was released, everybody thought they were Rahul. Even I had bought a polo t-shirt with that 'cool' necklace," he said.
Though the "Bombay Velvet" star feels great when his pairing with Deepika is compared with other famous pairs, he says the duo need to work harder to be worthy of the praise.
