During the promotional interview for Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha, when a fan asked who she feels is the better actor between Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika replied, "It's like saying do you prefer your mother or your father." To this, Ranbir joked, "I want to be the father." Deepika continued, "I just feel like we are constantly comparing all the time—whether it's films, actors, this co-star or that. We don't have to keep comparing all the time. His personality and Ranveer's personality and the different kind of work they do—we have to appreciate and accept them for the way they are."
