We fall in love. Do everything to make the relationship work. We make mistakes. Eventually fall apart and grow out of love. No matter how much we try, some things just aren’t meant to be! Breakups are tough but do you know what is even tougher? The consequences of the breakup i.e., deciding to be friends with your ex or not and how will your relationship be, with his/her family and your mutual friends. B-town ex couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are exemplars of how one should maintain the relationship when things go south.

It was in 2008 when despite the caution Bachna Ae Haseeno from Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone became his deewani so much so that she tattooed his initials on the back of her neck. Post dating for a few years, Ranbir and Deepika parted ways and their breakup created a Tamasha in the media. But over the time, Deepika and Ranbir let bygones be bygones and not only they moved on in their lives but have also taught us how to remain friends with ex-flames.
Deepika Padukone shares a warm camaraderie with her ex, Ranbir Kapoor’s parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. As per a Mumbai Mirror report, Deepika is soon going to star in a project with Rishi Kapoor. After Om Shanti Om and Love Aaj Kal, audience will get to see Deepika and Rishi Kapoor in one frame and this news is a treat for all their fans. A few months back, when Rishi Kapoor was in the US for his treatment, Deepika had visited the senior Kapoors and sharing the priceless moment, Neetu Kapoor had written, “Such a fun evening with adorable @deepikapadukone... gave lot of love n warmth.”
Deepika Padukone had moved on in her life and had tied the knot with Ranveer Singh in November 2018. Deepika and Ranveer had hosted a star-studded wedding reception for their industry friends and what everyone was eyeing on the most, was if Deepika’s ex-flame, Ranbir Kapoor or his current girlfriend, Alia Bhatt will attend the party (a source had informed an online portal that the couple were shooting for Brahmastra). And keeping to Deepika’s expectations, they did not!
In an interview with Famously Filmfare, Deepika got all candid when she was asked the reason for ex-flame, Ranbir not attending her wedding bash. She was then quoted as saying, “We’ve not spoken. I mean, we spoke before the reception but we have not spoken after. But, that’s him. I’m not surprised at all. But, that’s the relationship we share and that’s the beauty of that relationship; so much is said without saying much at all.” (Also Read: Anita Hassanandani Indulging In Pillow Fight With 'Jaan', Rohit Reddy Will Make You LOVE These Guys!)

Coming back to Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor’s breakup, it definitely must not be unknown to you that Deepika had a hard time during her split with Ranbir. The repercussion of the break-up was so serious, that Deepika saw a very bad time in her personal front, inspite of doing pretty well in her professional commitments. At a throwback interview with Cosmopolitan, Deepika had spoken about her ex, Ranbir and had 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.”
Deepika Padukone had also revealed that she had caught Ranbir Kapoor cheating on her red-handed. At the same interview, she had stated, “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.”
Ranbir Kapoor too, had commented on the same and was quoted as saying, “Yes, I have cheated, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness. You realise it now, when you grow up and you value it more why be in a relationship, why be committed to someone when you cannot be committed?” He further added, “I've realised that now. That's why I don't want to jump into a relationship with anybody because…unless you have a special bond, a special equation with somebody, somebody who you can be committed to, somebody who can trust you, who you can respect—there's no point."
