Ranveer, however, does not find the comparison between the two couples "right".
"Shah Rukh and Kajol are Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol while Ranbir and Deepika are Ranbir and Deepika. Each pairing has its own charm, appeal and its own legacy. I don't think it is right to compare the actors or pairing of actors," he said.
