Moreover, Sonam Kapoor had once graced the Koffee couch with Ranbir’s ex-girlfriend, Deepika Padukone. During Season 3 of Koffee With Karan, the Saawariya actress revealed that she was not sure if Ranbir is a good boyfriend, and Deepika jokingly added that the actor should endorse condom brands. This comment by the two actresses even agitated the late veteran actor and Ranbir’s father, Rishi Kapoor. However, all of them have let bygones be bygones and moved on in their respective lives.
Ranbir married his ladylove, Alia Bhatt, in April 2022 and, later, in the same year, welcomed their baby girl, Raha. Ranbir and Alia recently celebrated their second anniversary. Sonam, on the other hand, tied the knot with businessman Anand Ahuja in 2018. The couple was blessed with their son, Vayu Kapoor Ahuja, in 2022.
