Ranveer Singh shares how he spends family time with Padukone’s
Lately, our Gully Boy Ranveer Singh has been living a sportful life, from watching NBA [National Basketball Association] in the USA and being actively participating in the Premier League in the United Kingdom, and living his best life as a fan. However, it’s not just outside Ranveer is experiencing a deep connection with sports from within the family. Eventually, he is connected to the world’s best-known sports family the Padukones. As we all know that Ranveer Singh is married to Deepika Padukone and we also know how her family is die-hard sporty, Ranveer’s father-in-law, Prakash Padukone is a former world no. 1 champion in Badminton, Deepika Padukone herself played at the national level and his sister-in-law is a pro golfer.
Ranveer Singh says that when he visits his in-law's place in Bengaluru, which is Deepika Padukone’s childhood home, playing Badminton is one of the activities we spend as a family together. He says that his father-in-law still has got the charm and does not look at all like 66years old. He quotes, “Let me tell you, Prakash Padukone, my father-in-law, he's still got it. Whenever he picks up a badminton racquet, he puts on a show. He'll stand in one place and make you run the entire court. Then sometimes, when he is in the mood, he will start doing these trick shots, which would blow your mind. He has got this almost saint-like energy. He is an absolute legend and the kind of wisdom about life and values that he shares with us as his kids is invaluable. I really treasure all the life lessons that he teaches us.” He further says that not just Prakash but also Deepika bests him at Badminton, he says “Deepika kicks my butt in badminton, let me tell you," he says with a laugh, before adding, "I don't think I have beaten her ever. We started dating in 2012. It's been 10 years and I am yet to beat her. And it's not for lack of trying. I am running around sweating. There was a time when she used to beat me under 5 or 10 points. Now I have gotten to 15-16. So, I am getting there but still unable to beat her.”
When asked how they spend quality time in his in-law's house he says, “ That's one activity our family loves doing. We love sitting on the couch, sitting around the television watching live sports together. We watch cricket, football, badminton, basketball, the Olympics. It's one of our favorite activities to do together. My sister-in-law is a Manchester United fan so there is always banter going on between us. Even the IPL is a big season for us. They are all huge Bangalore Royal Challengers fans and I'm partial to Mumbai Indians, of course. So yes, we are an avid sporting family that is also a very avid sports-watching family.”
On the work front, we are going to see Ranveer Singh doing more rom-com films in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. and Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus.
