Ram Leela clocks in 11 years today and its anniversary is very special for the lead pair - Deepika and Ranveer. The film is iconic because it brought together the two superstars for the first time in a vibrant and electrifying love story setting the stage for the beginning of their real-life romance and then marriage which becomes even more special, this year with the arrival of their baby - Dua.
