Deepika opened up about her private life in a recent interview with the publication. When asked about the lowest point in her life, she said, "A broken relationship and depression. Those were the two very low points of my life." Needless to say, the 'broken relationship' was with her former beau and actor Ranbir Kapoor.

When asked how she dealt with the hurdles that came her way, Deepika said, "Well, time and a lot of work on myself helped me overcome it. It came with an amazing support system, my friends and family. My friends and family keep me grounded. They keep me rooted. They anchor me."

She continued, "Also today my work is everything for me. I have created it. I am responsible for my success and failure. No one else can take that away from me. That's what I have focussed all my energies and efforts on. It's my baby."

Deepika is currently in a relationship with her Padmavati co-star Ranveer Singh. When inquired when she plans to take her relationship to the next level, she stated, "Hmmm...and what would the next level be? It's not obvious. I don't know if marriage per se... Because I believe every relationship has its natural progression. I'm discovering that myself."

And so, she doesn't have a particular year in mind to settle down. "I can't put a year to it. Honestly, I've never been able to do anything that is time bound. I believe relationships have their way of unfolding. As far as my equation with him is concerned, I am sure that will unfold in its own manner," she said. "I can't wait to be a homemaker. Because from the time I was a little girl, I've always wanted to be that. I've always wanted to start a family."

Meanwhile, Deepika and Ranveer have starred in three movies together, namely Goliyon Ki Rasleela - Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and now, Padmavati. As to which avatar of Ranveer's she likes the most, Deepika said, "Ranveer as Ram.. boyish, young, innocent, playful, sensual... a young romantic. But at the same time, I know what value he has brought to Bajirao or the value that he's added to Khilji. Because nobody in this industry today can do that."
