Earlier during an interaction with Rajeev Masand, when Deepika was asked about spending lockdown with husband and actor Ranveer Singh, she had said, "I have to say, he’s the easiest person to live with, in this scenario. He’s sleeping for about 20 hours, which allows me time to do things that I want to do. For the four hours that he’s awake, we’re either watching a movie, eating, exercising. He’s a real joy to be with at this time. No demands, no hassles, he’s very easy."
