The Filmfare Awards have seen countless iconic moments over the decades, but few feel as raw and genuine as the night of the 67th Filmfare Awards. As we celebrate the birthday of Deepika Padukone, we look back at a special highlight from that evening: the moment her husband, Ranveer Singh, won the Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) award for his performance in 83.
Ranveer Singh is often known for his flamboyant personality and high-octane energy. However, as he walked onto the stage to collect the Black Lady, the audience saw a different side of him, vulnerable, humbled, and deeply emotional.
As he held the trophy, Ranveer was visibly emotional as he reflected on his journey in the film industry. Amidst the applause, he made sure to acknowledge the person he considers his greatest strength. In a moment that quickly went viral, he turned to the audience and his wife, saying: “Mere ghar mein Laxmi hai,” (There is Goddess Laxmi in my home), attributing his good fortune and professional achievements to her presence in his life.
He didn’t stop there. With Deepika standing by his side, he looked at her with immense pride and concluded his speech by saying, “The secret to my success—my wife. Ranveer Singh, powered by Deepika Padukone!”
The clip from that night remains a favourite for fans because it wasn’t just about an award but was also about the partnership between two of Bollywood’s biggest stars. While Ranveer was being honoured for his memorable portrayal of Kapil Dev, he chose that platform to remind everyone that his success isn’t a solo journey.
Deepika, who also played Romi Dev in the film, looked on with visible emotion as Ranveer thanked her. His wholesome shoutout to Deepika impressed everyone present. It showed a side of him beyond the celebrity and showed a husband acknowledging his wife’s support in the most adorable way possible.
