Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. When the two of them tied the knot in 2018 at Villa del Balbianello in Lake Como, Italy, they only shared selected pictures from the wedding. However, when they appeared together for the first time for
Karan
Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan, they showcased their wedding video and it left everyone vemotional.
And now, we have found that Deepika had zeroed down on who will direct her wedding video many years before, during the shooting of the song
Kabira
from her film
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
.
FINALLY! Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's official wedding video released 5 years after tying the knot in Italy – Watch
Kabira is one the most popular songs from the film, and even after nearly 10 years of its release, it is still played at weddings. The song was captured by
Vishal Punjabi
, one of the most famous wedding filmmakers in the business, and it was him to whom Deepika had entrusted the job of capturing her wedding video during the shoot of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Sharing the Deepika and Ranveer video on his Instagram account, Vishal wrote, “During the filming of “Kabira” for “Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani”, I had the honor of directing her. On a crisp evening, amidst rounds of Pictionary by the poolside with the crew, she leaned in and said softly, “When the time comes for my wedding, I’d be honored if you would be the one to capture it.” I was taken aback, a blush creeping up unnoticed. She held onto that sentiment, gently reminding me of that whispered promise during her wedding film’s screening years later."
He further wrote, "Set against the stunning backdrop of Como, The Wedding Filmer had the distinct honor of encapsulating the magical union between Bollywood’s icons, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. It wasn’t just about documenting their wedding day, but rather weaving a tale of love, trust, and commitment. Some stories are so close to the heart that they’re held close, and perhaps they wanted this narrative to be theirs alone for a time. As we mark our 13th year in building an industry, releasing this film stands as a testament to our journey and growth. Premiering on the esteemed platform of ‘Koffee with Karan’, it’s not merely a film, but a milestone in our storied legacy."
