They dated in the late 2000s, broke up around 2009, stayed friendly, and today are exes who co‑parent nothing together but do share a strong professional rapport while being happily married to other people.

Quick Scoop

Their relationship: then

  • Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone met on the sets of “Bachna Ae Haseeno” (2008) and started dating soon after.
  • They were one of Bollywood’s most talked‑about couples for roughly two years before breaking up around 2009.
  • The breakup was widely covered in the media and later referenced in interviews and talk‑show appearances, fueling years of gossip and fan theories.

After the breakup

  • Despite the split, they chose to remain cordial and ended up working together again in “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” (2013) and “Tamasha” (2015), both big hits.
  • Co‑stars have said they were professional and respectful on set, even when people expected awkwardness or fights.
  • Over time, their equation moved from exes-with-history to something more like comfortable, long‑term colleagues who share mutual respect.

Where they are now (2024–2026 context)

  • Ranbir married Alia Bhatt in 2022; they welcomed their daughter Raha the same year.
  • Deepika married Ranveer Singh in 2018; they became parents to daughter Dua in 2024.
  • Both are now seen as settled in their respective marriages, and the Ranbir–Deepika chapter is generally treated as “past but important history” in their lives.

Recent “what’s happening now?” buzz

  • Since late 2025, there have been strong rumours that they may reunite on screen in a new Ayan Mukerji film, described in reports as a modern family drama or love story.
  • In January 2026, at a fan meet before her 40th birthday, Deepika said she “really hopes” to do a rom‑com soon and acknowledged that she and Ranbir have spoken about working together again, which fans took as a big hint.
  • There is still no official confirmation of a new film as of early 2026, but entertainment portals and forums are buzzing with speculation and “manifesting” posts about a fresh Ranbir–Deepika rom‑com.

How forums and fans talk about it

  • Many fans see them as the classic “exes who grew up,” pointing out how they handled an intense breakup and still delivered iconic on‑screen chemistry later.
  • Some discussions focus on past negativity (rumours of cheating, heartbreak, etc.), while others highlight how both moved on, found new partners, and turned a messy situation into mature friendships and collaborations.
  • Right now, the trending angle is less “Are they back together?” and more “Will they do another film?” with people debating whether that would be awkward or just nostalgic and fun.
