When Shammi Kapoor Chose This Actress To Marry Ranbir Kapoor A Decade Before Alia Bhatt Happened, “He Is Tall, She Is Tall…”

Ranbir Kapoor was known to share a close bond with his grandfather Shammi Kapoor. The legendary actor’s last big screen appearance was also Ranbir’s 2011 film Rockstar, wherein he was seen in a cameo appearance. The film was posthumously released after the actor’s demise on November 11, 2011. However, did you know that the late actor had once manifested his grandson to end up with this popular Bollywood actress, and no, we are not talking about Alia Bhatt.

We are talking about none other than Ranbir Kapoor’s ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone. Yes, you heard that right! Shammi Kapoor had a strong liking for the Pathaan actress and expressed his desire for her to end up with his grandson. A fan-made edit on Instagram showed a throwback interview of the Junglee actor wherein he was asked whether Ranbir and Deepika should marry each other.

It can be assumed that Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were dating each other back then. On this, Shammi Kapoor beamed and said, “She (Deepika) will remain single for some time, and then I will ask her to marry Ranbir. They make a wonderful pair, she is tall, he is tall. She is good-looking, he is good-looking.”
