Will figure out when it happens: Deepika on parenting
Furthermore, when asked about her parenting plans, Deepika said, "I think I'll figure that out when it happens. I don't know, I think it depends on when it happens in my life." "Your child is a new born but you're also a new parent and you've got to just figure it out as you go along," she added.
'Unlike Ranveer, I'm going to be the disciplinary one'
Not unlike many Indian mothers, Deepika admitted, "I do know that I'm going to be the disciplinary one and Ranveer will be the one who indulges. I know my children will value me when they get older."
Don't get affected by rumors, Deepika had earlier said
Earlier, in an interview with TOI, Deepika had said rumors, about pregnancy or otherwise, don't bother her. "I don't get affected by it at all. I don't read comments. Nobody has a bigger reality check than me. As an actor, I've been exposed to this right from the beginning, all kinds of speculations. It doesn't feature in my scheme of things," she had said.
Deepika, Ranveer tied the knot in November 2018
To recall, Deepika and Ranveer tied the knot on November 14, 2018, after dating for more than six years. The couple had arranged traditional Konkani and Sindhi ceremonies in an intimate affair at Lake Como, Italy.
