One of the most iconic onscreen jodis of Bollywood, who fell in love off camera and soon became the IT couple of Tinsel Town in 2007, were Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor. However, after dating for two years, the lovebirds broke up, leaving fans scratching their heads wondering what went wrong. Today, RK is happily married to Alia Bhatt and is a proud father to their daughter Raha. Deepika, on the other hand, welcomed daughter Dua Padukone Singh into the world last year with husband Ranveer Singh. While the exes have moved on, the internet seems to be stuck in the past. We are talking about an old video of Ranbir's mother Neetu Kapoor, commenting on his infamous break-up, which has resurfaced on social media.
A post shared by Ranbir & Deepika ♥️ (@ranbirdeepi)
In 2012, almost three years after Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor parted ways for mysterious reasons, the latter appeared on talk show hostess Simi Garewal's show. In the episode, RK's mother and veteran actor Neetu Kapoor shared a video message talking about his break-up and the possible reasons behind it. Well, this clip has now resurfaced on social media and is going viral. In the video, Neetu shares, 'He's just had one girlfriend and that's Deepika. I think maybe there was something missing in their relationship. There was something not there. And maybe he was not himself, and he needed to break off.'

Neetu went on to add, 'Everybody has relationships, and they move on. If it was perfect, they wouldn't break up. If I felt that the girl was not nice, I would just say in my own way. But I will not say 'don't get married' or 'don't have this girlfriend'. Then it's up to him, whatever he wants to do. But I will definitely voice my opinion. Definitely.' Meanwhile, Ranbir revealed that he's still friends with his exes, without naming anyone.
Coming back to the present: on the film front, Ranbir will soon share the screen with his wife Alia and actor Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War. Deepika, on the other hand, is yet to announce her comeback project after delivering Dua.

Diddy trial: 3 new celebrity names come up as ex-assistant Mia makes damning revelations

Three new celebrity names have come up during Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial. The names came up during the testimony of Diddy's ex-assistant Mia, who worked for the rapper from 2009 to 2017. Mia's text messages about A-listers were shown to jurors. Mia, who testified anonymously under the pseudonym, texted the Bad Boy Records founder on March 8, 2019, asking him to watch the Netflix show 'Love' by director Judd Apatow, the New York Post reported. In another text Mia sent Diddy on May 14, 2020, she spoke about the death of record executive and media mogul Andre Harrell, the man who is often credited with discovering the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper. 'Puff my heart is broken about Dre. I've spent all week crying for you as well," Mia texted Diddy. Mia later also texted Diddy about actor Chad Boseman's death. Diddy replied, "How are you? Yeah, life is crazy." Mia shared various other details about Diddy during the trial. At one point, she said that Diddy placed a tracking device on his on-and-off girlfriend Cassie Ventura's car. "He's stolen my phone many times, he's stolen Cassie's phone many times," Mia told the jury. "He's put tracking devices on her car. I'm not sure what he's capable of. I was terrified.' Mia told the jury that Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted her multiple times. Diddy's defense attorney Brian Steel pressed Mia about why she did not accuse the rapper of sexual assault during settlement talks in 2017 for unpaid wages. Mia claimed that she originally asked for $10 million for bonuses, severance and overtime that Diddy allegedly owed her, and never paid. However, she settled during mediation for $400,000 – an amount that was split with her attorneys in 2017. Mia further claimed that she did not know that sexual assault could be used in settlement negotiations, adding that it was in 2024 that she discussed the sex assault claims with prosecutors for the first time.

After Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan, Mani Ratnam defends Deepika Padukone's reported demands amid her exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit: ‘It's a rightful demand'

Deepika Padukone 's rumoured exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's much-anticipated pan-India film Spirit has stirred a storm online. While unconfirmed reports claim the actor made several "unprofessional" demands, including an 8-hour workday, a Rs 20 crore fee, profit-sharing rights, and refusal to deliver dialogues in Telugu, many in the industry are now stepping up to back the Pathaan star. Mani Ratnam backs Deepika Veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who previously directed Deepika in Ponniyin Selvan II, has come out in strong support of the actor. Speaking to us about the backlash she's receiving, he dismissed the criticism as unwarranted. 'I think it is a rightful demand,' Ratnam told News 18. 'I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it.' Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan echo similar views Earlier, Ajay Devgn also weighed in on the reported 8-hour shift clause that Deepika allegedly insisted on. Drawing attention to work-life balance and motherhood, he defended the idea.

On the other hand, Saif Ali Khan said, "I hate coming home and seeing the kids already asleep. That's not success. Success is being able to say, 'No, I need to go home now to catch that half hour with them."'

Earlier, actor Ajay Devgn had also supported Deepika on this matter and said, Ajay said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people.
