Is Deepika Padukone missing Ranbir Kapoor?

Deepika Padukone might not be addressing her relationship status publicly but the Bollywood beauty has confessed that she is completely ruled by her heart. Padukone, 28, who has been linked to her co-stars multiple times, said being in a relationship is the most important thing for her.

“I am completely ruled by my heart, not just relationship-wise but choosing films also comes straight from my heart. For me, being in a relationship is very important. I think I can speak on behalf of most women that they feel complete when they are in a relationship,” she said.

“But it has to be a beautiful relationship – a relationship that encourages you and makes you a better person. If it pulls you down or you start becoming someone that you are not, it is not a place to be in. And I have been in both,” Padukone added.

When asked to comment on her relationship with Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela co-star Ranveer Singh, Padukone said, “I think I am at a stage where I don’t want to rush into something. For a young girl like me, it’s very important to get to know someone; maybe it also comes from the fact that I didn’t want to go through heartache again and you want to be sure about the person that you eventually land up with.”

The Cocktail star was in a serious relationship with actor Ranbir Kapoor, but the couple split after dating for one year. Despite her personal life, Padukone is on a career high after giving back-to-back hits with Cocktail, Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and Ram-Leela.

The actor does not think she has a set formula when deciding on a film, but she says she follows her heart while choosing a script.

“I don’t think success for me has a particular formula. I think success comes from following your heart, believing in yourself and being the person you want to be versus being someone that you are expected to be. I don’t think you are living an honest life if you are doing that,” she said.
