In conversation with We are Yuvaathe Gehraiyaan Actor was asked: “Is even a big deal more to cheat?” To which Deepika said: “It’s something I personally don’t advocate. But other than that, I don’t think I’m the kind of person to judge someone else’s relationship, whether it happened or not, or whether they’re okay with it or not. Relationships are really about connection, and when you’ve lost that connection to yourself, then there’s no relationship.”

Add more how emotional infidelity is worse, she said: “While physical attraction is maybe still kind of a temporary thing sometimes. I think as long as you have respect for the other person, I think that’s really important. I mean, monogamy, physical attraction, sure it’s one thing, but I’d be far more disappointed if there was emotional infidelity. Not to say physical infidelity is okay, but emotional infidelity is far more hurtful than anything else.”

In early 2010, during an interview with verve Magazine had revealed to Deepika that her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor cheated on her and she caught him in the act.
She said: “For me, sex isn’t just about physicality; there are emotions involved. I have never cheated or lost my way when in a relationship. If I’m going to be fooling around, why would I be in a relationship? It’s better to be single and have fun. But not everyone thinks so. Maybe that’s why I’ve been hurt in the past. The first time he cheated on me I thought there was something wrong with the relationship or with me. But when someone makes a habit of it, you know the problem is with them.”
Discussing how she caught her ex-boyfriend in the act, she said: “Even so, I was stupid enough to give him a second chance because he was begging and pleading, even though everyone around me was saying he was always still cheating. I think I really wanted to believe in him. Then I actually caught him in the act. It took me a while to get out. But after I’ve done that, nothing can bring me back. This ship has sailed.”
Deepika is one of those rare actresses who has always been vocal and transparent about her feelings, and once again she makes a strong point about infidelity in relationships.
