Bollywood celebrities are always sceptical about talking about their past relationships and link-up rumours, as they worry about becoming the talk of the town. However, time and again, we have seen how smartly Karan Johar pushes celebrities to make some shocking revelations about their personal lives on his controversial talk show, Koffee With Karan. With his exceptional talent for dishing out some hot and fresh gossip about the movie industry, KJo never fails to disappoint the fans.
Back in 2010, in an episode of Koffee With Karan season 3, Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor graced the couch together for a fun chit-chat. During the rapid-fire round, the show's host, Karan Johar, who is known as the official gossipmonger, asked some scandalous questions regarding exes to both actresses. Since the episode came after her breakup with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika was asked about the neck tattoo she had got for her ex-boyfriend. Explaining her thoughts on the same, Deepika had shared:
“It’s something that I thought was correct at the time. And I’ve never regretted it. And I’ve never thought about removing it. I know the media is constantly saying ‘she’s taken it off!’ and all kinds of things. It’s very much there, and I have no plans of taking it off.”

During her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone showed her dedication towards her partner by getting his initials tattooed on the nape of her neck. She was so obsessed with her love life and her special tattoo that she continued to flaunt it with all her up-do hairstyles. Deepika Padukone's 'RK' tattoo was the talk of the town back then, and she didn't erase it even after her breakup. However, it was a few months after her wedding to Ranveer Singh that the actress got her tattoo modified, and her fans were shocked when they spotted a clear bare neck.
Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were in extreme dating for over a few years, but destiny had different plans, and the two parted ways on a bad note. Soon after their breakup, reports were rife that Ranbir's parents weren't happy with their relationship. However, in a throwback interview with Cosmopolitan, Deepika claimed that it was Ranbir's infidelity that led to their split and also revealed that she had caught him cheating on her red-handed. She was quoted as saying:
“The first time he cheated on me, I thought there was something wrong with the relationship, or me. But when someone makes a habit of it, you know the problem lies with him. I give a lot in relationships, and don't really expect much in return. But, infidelity is the deal breaker. Once it comes in, respect goes away, trust goes away and these are the pillars of a relationship you can't f**k around with it.”

In the same interview, Deepika Padukone also shed some light on her mental health and revealed that she had a hard time during her split with Ranbir. She faced severe repercussions after the break-up and her mental health went for a toss. Talking about the lesson she learned from her and Ranbir's breakup, the actress shared:
“It made me realise I should not be so attached to one thing or a person - after the break-up the fact that I had to pick myself up. I cried a lot after my break-up. But I have become a better person and I thank him for that.”
Fast forward to today, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor let bygones be bygones and have moved on in their lives. While Deepika found her soulmate in Ranveer Singh, Ranbir is happily married to Alia Bhatt and is a proud father to their daughter, Raha Kapoor.
