The actress said, We have both worked hard to create our identities.

MUMBAI (Dunya News) – Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has said that she and her husband Ranveer Singh had never discussed about changing their surnames after their wedding.

The actress said, “We have both worked hard to create our identities.”

“I realised that it’s a conversation Ranveer and I’ve never even had. So, we haven’t been like, ‘oh, do you think you should change your surname?’ That [chat about it in an interview] was, of course, a candid joke of sorts. It has never crossed either of our minds. When I was asked about it, I was like, ‘oh, we haven’t even thought about it’,” she said.

May be because it’s not important. Also, I’ve worked extremely hard to create my own identity and so has he. So, my question is, ‘why would he have to do that?’ I think what people see of us is a very minuscule part of our entire being and existence. But at the core of it, we are very alike,” she continued.
