Ranbir Kapoor finally opens up on all the hot topics involving him - The pics of him holidaying with Katrina in Spain, the Deepika Padukone equation and plans for marriage. here are some exerpts from his interview with TOI.

On being spotted in Spain
'Right now, given the phase I am in my life, I have opened this umbrella which comprises my family, love, friendship, my movies and things that make me happy. In the last few months, a lot has been spoken about my relationship, but I think before my personal life becomes a reality show, I would like to protect it as much as I can. It's not about one person, but involves two people, the other being a girl, and she has more to lose than me. I think there is a right time to speak about everything..... I don't see anything wrong with it. Having said that, there is a limit that has been crossed, but there is nothing right or wrong. As an individual, when you're the subject, you can feel bad about it. But too bad, you are an actor. So it's a bit of a catch-22 that you wished it did not happen, but, when you think about it, you can't really do anything about it'

On marriage
'I cannot get married because I am going to become 31 this year. Also, somewhere in my head — and it's a bad reason — but I am living with my parents and we are planning to move out and make a larger space, where I will start my family. I don't see myself ever leaving my parents. Also, I believe that a child needs both parents, so I will get married when I am ready for a child. I definitely want to get married, but not immediately.'

On Deepika
Stories connecting you with Deepika don't seem to stop.
Deepika and me have fortunately done a successful film together and we have been in a relationship in the past, but it is hard for people to imagine how we have both moved on in our lives. She is doing well and I am proud of her achievements, but we have not been in touch after YJHD. I hope people can distinguish between us and that we are working together only as professionals. There is nothing common in our lives other than the films we have done or will do. I have never ever involved myself with casting. That's the director's prerogative. I am doing Imtiaz's film irrespective of his heroine. Even if he had taken a five-year-old boy to work opposite me, I would have done it.

And lastly on who he can give his life for
'My family, Ayan, Katrina, as she is a very special person in my life, Rohit Dhawan, who I grew up with, and Aisha Divetri, my school friend. And Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Basu, as they add a lot to my life.'
