To see a man being genuinely supportive of his wife and comfortable with her making more money than he is rare. However, there have been many men whose masculinity wasn’t threatened because the wife was more successful. For example, Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff left his job as a lawyer to support her as 2nd gentleman. Actor Rupali Ganguly’s husband also decided to take a break from work to support her career.
We all are aware that Deepika Padukone started dating Ranveer Singh during the time they were shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ramleela’. During that time, Deepika was far more successful than Ranveer and naturally, was making more money. In an earlier interview with Barkha Dutt, Deepika had claimed that Ranveer respects her success and the fact that she makes more money than him, reported News18.

“I married Ranveer because he respects my success and the money I make. Today, the kind of money he is making and the success he has is completely different from what he would have seven years ago. I was the more successful person and yet to genuinely be okay with the fact that I was working more; I was busier- there were days when I would not even come home because I had so much work- I was making more money but not once has it ever come in the way of our relationship. That is unique and I’d like to see more of that,” she had said.
And now, in an interview with critic Anupama Chopra, Ranveer Singh responded to Deepika’s statement, reported The Indian Express. Expressing that he has always been a very secure person, the ’83’ actor said:
“I feel good when people tell me that I allowed the other actor to shine. That’s just who I am. I can’t be any other way. I have always been this secure person. I feel very happy for my wife when she achieves. There’s nobody prouder than me.”

When it comes to filmmaking, Ranveer believes that it is a “collaborative effort” and that he doesn’t believe in the “one-upmanship game”, even when his films are a massive hit.
“In my life and career, fortunately or unfortunately, I have experienced people first hand who approach the work that way, playing that one-upmanship, upstaging sort of game. I cannot be that, it’s just not in my grain. It all circles back to gratitude, which I feel is becoming my superpower.”
Even now, Ranveer Singh is trolled for the kind of clothes he decides to wear. But to see him sporting skirts and heels is only proof of how his masculinity isn’t fragile like so many other men.
