Currently,
Ranveer
and

are
spending

quality
time
at
home
owing
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
Recently,
during
an
interactive
session
on
Instagram,
when
a
fan
asked
Ranveer
what
they
had
been
up
to
during
quarantine,
the
actor
replied,
"Eating,
sleeping,
exercising,
watching
movies,
and
DP
is
teaching
herself
how
to
play
the
piano."
Speaking
about
work,
Ranveer's
upcoming
film
'83,
which
was
supposed
to
release
on
April
10,
has
been
postponed
due
to
the
Coronavirus
outbreak.
The
actor
was
also
supposed
to
begin
shooting
for
Karan
Johar's
Takht,
which
was
to
go
on
floors
this
month.
However,
the
shooting
schedule
too
has
been
put
on
hold.
Deepika,
on
the
other
hand,
will
be
seen
opposite

Singh
in

Khan's
