Ranveer Singh and Zoya Akhtar

Stalking Ranveer Singh on Instagram is just one of those things we do in a day’s work at MissMalini (at least, we pass it off as work, but you know how it is). So yesterday, when we came across super cute photos of him with Dil Dhadakne Do director Zoya Akhtar on his timeline, where he repeatedly referred to her as “bae,” we had to ask him about it! We don’t take the term “bae” lightly in the office – when you call someone your bae, it’s legit – and it seems like Ranveer doesn’t either. According to him, he has only one bae, and that’s Zoya. Here’s why:

Zoya is bae. She’s my bae! Zoya is such a sweetheart. She’s the most loving director; she’s so affectionate. It’s a really beautiful experience and a beautiful bond I’ve been able to create with this director. It’s just wonderful that the person who is essentially your boss is so warm and so affectionate and so caring and so… right. She is an incredible woman. Her knowledge about things, the kind of conversations I have with her… I could talk to her non-stop. And about everything. Whenever I’m around Zoya, I feel excited. She stimulates me, creatively she excites me. She’s got an incredibly panoramic, wholesome personality. And she’s just a killer, cool chick. I have a very special bond with her… and that’s why I say Zoya’s my bae! I have only one bae, and that’s Zo.

And this, Ranveer, is why you’re our bae. <3
