It's been exactly two months since Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh got married and needless to say, they are like a match made in heaven who are only setting husband and wife goals with every passing day.

But one question that has been bothering everyone is whether the Piku star will add 'Singh' to her surname just like how Sonam Kapoor, Neha Dhupia and many from Bollywood have done post marriage.

The speculations started when Deepika in her first interview post marriage with Filmfare joked how in her case, it might be Deepika Padukone - wife of Ranveer Singh Padukone.

But when Hindustan Times met Deepika recently, they asked her about this very same statement and whether the Simmba star is really planning to change his surname, like how she mentioned in the interview.

The 33-year-old actor clarified, "It's not true. In fact after that interview I realised that it's a conversation that Ranveer and I have never even had. So we haven't been like 'oh so do you think you need to change your surname?' That (chat about it in an interview) was of course a joke of sorts. It has never crossed either of our minds."

She further added, "When I was asked I was like 'oh, we haven't even thought about it.' Maybe, because it's not important. Also, I've worked extremely hard to create my identity and so has he. So my question is, 'why would he have to do that?' I think what people see of us is a very minsicule part of our entire being and existence. But at the core of it, we are very alike."
