Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s latest appearance in Koffee With Karan raised many eyebrows. Some spoke for Deepika, and some went against her comment on multiple dating when she was also seeing Ranveer. Here she mentioned how she kept coming back to him. Actor turned humanitarian Somy Ali speaks on whether dating your co-actor is right or not.

It’s all contingent upon the morals and values one carries with them and I have seen people faithfully married for over 40 years as well. Therefore, there is nothing that is so completely black and white,” she says.
Once we accept our lives are all gray and anything can happen at any time, we will be much more comfortable psychologically, Somy opines.
“There are no guarantees, more so when it comes to people and no one truly knows anyone completely. If they think they do, they are highly mistaken and I am not talking about what their partner’s favorite color or food is, I am talking about something much deeper than that. No one will ever know another for they truly are as we all carry secrets and we have all done things we know we shouldn’t have done. There is nothing wrong with that as long you aren’t hurting anyone. But when people say I know him or her completely well, I strongly disagree. It’s a sentence we say to give ourselves emotional security. I believe in pragmatism over a fairytale and those are the values and morals I choose to live by,” she adds.

Somy also mentions how in South Asia, dating multiple people is common in the US.
Voicing her support for Deepika, she says, “Again, my respect for Deepika has gone up a thousand notch for living life her way and not being subservient to our hypocritical societal rules. All of us live a cafeteria life whether it comes to religion or values because they grab what suits them on their plates and leave what doesn’t.”
