There are celebrity couples who look good together, and then there are those who make you believe that romance, fun, and companionship can actually co-exist long after the honeymoon phase. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh fall firmly into the second category. Their latest advertisement for Abu Dhabi Tourism is proof that even after years of marriage, some couples know how to keep the spark alive and have a whole lot of fun while doing it.

In this newly released ad, Deepika is seen playfully trolling Ranveer for his long beard, hilariously calling him “Bond who forgot to shave.” Ranveer, being Ranveer, burst out laughing before throwing back a cheeky reply of his own. The couple indulge in a flirty roleplay moment that some might call “cheesy”… but guess what? That’s exactly what makes it relatable and adorable.

The ad is filmed with the couple getting ready for their anniversary night out in Abu Dhabi. The city’s high-end setting high-end interiors, picturesque skylines, and serene imagery is the backdrop. But instead of depending solely on grandeur, the story is one of love between the two. Deepika is seen choosing clothes, while Ranveer tries to match her style and energy. Their light-hearted banter takes center stage, especially when Deepika teasingly tells him, “You look like Bond who forgot to shave.”

Ranveer fires back with perfect timing: “In any case, this roleplay stuff is too cheesy.” The irony, of course, is that the ad is delightfully cheesy and that’s exactly why people are loving it.

This isn’t the first time Deepika and Ranveer have collaborated on a commercial project. But what stands out in this ad is the way they come across as a real couple. They’re glamorous without trying too hard, romantic without being dramatic, and funny without being over the top. When Deepika slips into a stunning red gown later in the video and Ranveer dons a crisp white shirt and blue blazer, the chemistry turns elegantly cinematic.

Fans flooded social media with reactions. A user wrote, “How beautiful she looks in red, every time.” Another begged, “Deepika and Ranveer, please come together for a rom-com.” And honestly who isn’t waiting for that to happen? Imagine Bollywood’s favourite real-life couple starring in a breezy romantic comedy full of banter and charm. Come on, producers this is a gold mine waiting to happen!

One quirky comment on Reddit simply read: “Dua’s mummy papa look stunning.” In case you’re confused this is a fun little nod to Ranveer and Deepika’s baby girl, Dua, born earlier this year.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first Abu Dhabi ad campaign featuring the couple. Earlier this month, Deepika sparked controversy when she appeared in a hijab in another promo for the tourism board. Critics accused her of “cultural appeasement,” and some went as far as calling her “opportunistic.” Social media was divided, as usual, with one section trolling and another supporting her right to express cultural respect through clothing.

The noise around that ad may have been why this new video sticks to a safer narrative no cultural clothing, no symbolism just outfits and chemistry. But even in the middle of controversies, Deepika remains unbothered. Maybe that’s what comes with being an icon used to the spotlight. Maybe it’s just her calm, measured personality. Or maybe she knows exactly what she’s doing choosing grace over chaos.

What’s Next for DeepVeer?

This ad may have caught everyone’s attention, but both stars are heading into massive professional phases as well.

• King – Directed by Siddharth Anand, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan alongside her.

• AA22xA6 – A highly-anticipated film with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun, directed by Atlee. Expectations? Sky-high.

Ranveer Singh’s Upcoming Films

• Dhurandhar – A spy action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar.

• Also starring Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi now that’s a solid lineup.

So yes, Bollywood’s beloved couple isn’t just busy scaling islands of romance in Abu Dhabi they’re also gearing up to dominate theaters again.

It’s easy to call celebrity ads “marketing gimmicks,” but sometimes, they become tiny windows into real relationships. Deepika teasing Ranveer about his beard. Ranveer laughing and playing along. The comfort, the chemistry, those looks everything just feels so real. That’s exactly why fans find them so endearing.

In a world full of carefully curated celebrity images, Deepika and Ranveer don’t shy away from being themselves. If that means a little trolling and cheesy roleplay on a luxury vacation so be it. After all, that’s what love looks like when you’re having fun.
