Bollywood’s chocolate boy and the most eligible bachelor, Ranbir Kapoor was in the news recently for his alleged relationship with Pakistani beauty, Mahira Khan. In October 2017, when Ranbir and Mahira’s pictures surfaced online, it stunned everyone. In those pictures, the Raees actress was seen smoking cigarettes with Ranbir. While no other pictures post that came out, there were reports that their relationship is going strong.
However, in a recent development, according to DNA, the bonhomie and love between the two have fizzled out. A source close to the leading daily was quoted as saying, “Their friendship has fizzled out. Ranbir and Mahira will always remain cordial but that’s because of the kind of people they are.” What possibly could be the reason of their breakup? Well, if the report is to be believed, Ranbir and Mahira have parted ways because of those pictures which got leaked. In fact, for the uninitiated ones, it must be noted here that Mahira was heavily criticized by many people on social media because of smoking and her attire choice. Some fans even went on to call her non-Muslim.
Earlier, when Ranbir was asked by a leading daily, to comment on the pictures, he was quoted as saying, “I've gotten to know Mahira in a personal capacity over the last few months. She is somebody who I admire and respect, for her achievements and even more for the person she is. It is very unfair the way she is being judged and spoken about. What is also said is the inequality in judgment just because she is a woman. I request you to stop the negativity and move on with your beautiful god gifted lives. Peace and Love. PS: Both smoking and hate are injurious to health.”
As for Mahira, she commented, “I’d be lying if I said that I decided right off the bat that I wouldn’t respond to this controversy. And I’m a very strong woman but when all of this happened, I was completely shattered and broken. I would think about posting a statement every day. Then I would stop myself because I just wouldn’t know what to say. Thankfully, Power Di Game was ready to be released, which I thought was perfect timing, so I just posted that as sort of a response to the trolls. But to be honest, I understand where all the criticism came from and it didn’t come from a place of hate. I’m not talking about the trolls but those who were genuinely disappointed to see those pictures. It’s the same disappointment that my nani or my mamoo would have felt seeing that. So even now when I meet an older lady who says that she didn’t like the pictures, I’m quick to apologize.”
In fact, when another leading daily asked Mahira if she was in love, she replied, “No, actually. No, I have been, I was. Now, I realise that love is peace. Love is when you are with somebody and it’s okay and you don’t have to talk. Their presence is important. Through the times of turbulence, through the joys, through the ups and downs, through the mistakes we make and all the success we get, let nobody… nobody’s opinion define who you are. And if anybody defines who you are, let it be yourself. Including me and all the women out there, we’re all worth it!”

As per a report in the International Business Times, earlier Mahira commented on the possibility of her second marriage. She said, “It's my wedding, I can go anywhere I want. I want a destination wedding if I ever get married again; maybe up north will be nice.” For those of you who do not know, Mahira was earlier married to Ali Askari until their divorce in 2015.
A few weeks after Ranbir and Mahira’s pictures went viral, there were reports in the Ahmedabad Mirror that his mom, Neetu Kapoor, is getting an arranged marriage fixed for him in London. The report can be quoted here, “Ranbir and Neetu were in London to meet a girl for Ranbir’s marriage. The girl they met is from a business family in London and the meeting was fixed by one of Neetu’s close friends. Ranbir is keen to settle down now and Neetu has made no bones about the fact that she would like to choose the girl who is not from Bollywood for her son. She never approved of his earlier girlfriends Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif. Both, Ranbir and Neetu, met the girl and her family and liked them. Now, it remains to be seen whether things will get finalised from here.”
Whoa! Now that we have a full context and overview of Ranbir-Mahira relationship news and the recent developments in it, we can safely say that the couple has possibly parted ways. On the professional front, Ranbir will next be seen in the much-awaited, Dutt biopic and Mahira in a rom-com film, Saat Din Mohabbat In.
