Why did Deepika and Ranveer not live together before marriage? 

In an interview with a leading daily, when asked why the couple chose not to stay together before marriage, Deepika said that not doing so was important to her. There was a lot of temptation, especially for the two of them who are constantly travelling, to move away from the traditional, but it was important to herself, she said. Ranveer was always alright with anything. He reportedly always told her, "Whatever makes you happy makes me happy." But it's about having to do it all at the right time for her, she said. If they had decided to live together earlier, what would they discover later? She said that they made their life's best decision. They believe in the institution of marriage, and they love every bit of it, she reportedly said.
