5 Bollywood separations that shattered fairy-tale romances: Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone to Shahid Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor
Bollywood has countless fairytale romances for its audiences. Not just on-screen but even their off-screen dating made us manifest a relationship like that. However, several celebs who once gave major couple goals ended in heartbreak, leaving all shocked and saddened. From Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone to Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, here's a look at some star-studded couples whose real-life romances couldn't bloom into lasting relationships. 1. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone Duration: 2007-2010 Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were once the most sizzling couple in the Bollywood industry. They were in a relationship for a few years after first meeting on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno. Deepika went to the extent of getting Ranbir's initials, 'RK', tattooed on the nape of her neck to show her love for him. Their chemistry, not just off-screen but even on-screen, was top-notch as seen in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. However, their relationship hit a rough patch, and the duo called it quits. Earlier, on Koffee With Karan, the actress opened up about her breakup with Ranbir and shared, 'It was very, very difficult for me because somewhere that relationship became my world.' She further added, 'That relationship really taught me a lot when it ended. It's made me a better person today. He says it himself.' Deepika Padukone is now happily married to Ranveer Singh, while Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot to Alia Bhatt. 2. Shahid Kapoor - Kareena Kapoor Duration: 2004-2007 Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were the fans' favorite Bollywood jodi. Their on-screen and off-screen romance once grabbed headlines. They worked together in Fida, 36 China Town, Chup Chup Ke, and Jab We Met. Just before the release of Jab We Met, the reports of their breakup started making the rounds. Ironically, their pairing was most praised in that film. During an episode of Koffee With Karan, KJo revealed that when Kareena was dating Shahid, she became a vegetarian and even gained weight to show the effects of a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. She even became quite spiritual during that period. In an interview with Anil Thakraney in 2007, the Singham Again actress brushed off the idea that Shahid was 'lonely and depressed' after their breakup. She shared that he appeared surrounded by female co-stars enjoying their attention. Shahid Kapoor is now happily married to Mira Rajput, while Kareena Kapoor is married to Saif Ali Khan. 3. John Abraham - Bipasha Basu Duration: 2002-2011 John Abraham and Bipasha Basu began dating during the filming of the movie Jism. They dated for almost 10 years and made red-carpet appearances together. They even spoke about marriage in several interviews and appeared to be an inseparable couple. However, their breakup came as quite a shock for their fans. Though the exact reason for their break-up is unknown, Bipasha once told Times Of India, 'Though no break-up is a good break-up, time heals everything, including broken friendships. But cheating, infidelity, and deceit are generally tough to forgive, and in those cases, real friendship is not possible.' John Abraham soon married investment banker Priya Runchal shortly after their breakup. Bipasha Basu later tied the knot with Karan Singh Grover. 4. Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan Duration: 2000-2014 Bollywood's Greek God Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan were one of the most adored couples of the industry. They have always been seen supporting each other through thick and thin. They were married for 13 years and share two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan. However, their marriage hit a rough patch, and they went for a divorce. Though the exact reason behind their divorce is not known, Hrithik's father, Rakesh Roshan, once hinted that a misunderstanding caused their separation. In a chat with Yuvaa, he shared, 'They were the ones who fell in love, they were the ones who had a misunderstanding, and they have to solve it. For us, she came to our house, and she is still a member of the house.' The duo moved on in their lives. Hrithik Roshan is currently dating Saba Azad, while Sussanne Khan is in a relationship with Arslan Goni. 5. Nargis Fakhri and Uday Chopra Duration: 2013 - 2017 Nargis Fakhri and Uday Chopra were in a relationship for approximately five years. They often denied dating rumors and never made their relationship public during those years. However, their separation came as a shock to everyone, given that they had been in a relationship for 5 years. In an interview with ETimes in 2021, Nargis Fakhri opened up on regretting not making her relationship public. She shared, 'Uday and I dated for 5 years, and he was the most beautiful human I met in India. I never have said this to the press as people told me to keep my relationship quiet, but I regret that because I should have shouted from the mountain tops that I was with such a beautiful soul.' A report in the Times of India also suggested that Uday Chopra ended the relationship via a text message, leading to Nargis's sudden departure to New York. Though these star-studded couples got separated, their stories continue to spark conversations and tug at heartstrings. Fans may never forget the magic they created together, both on-screen and in real life, proving that even in glitzy B-Town, love doesn't always guarantee a happily-ever-after.

The two got married in 1979 and had Shahid Kapoor in 1981. However, their marriage later ended in divorce. In 2006 came a big breakthrough for Shahid when he was cast by Sooraj Barjatya for Vivah. The actor shared screen with his debut co-star Amrita Rao and the movie became an instantaneous hit. Following this, Shahid never looked back. However, while today Shahid is hailed as a big actor in the industry, do you know that in his initial days, the actor faced rejection nearly 100 times—but he never gave up. Today, he stands tall as one of the most recognised faces in the industry.

Pak get bronze in ITF Wheelchair Tennis
Pakistan shone at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup Wheelchair Tennis Asian Qualification Event in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The team included Asif Abbasi, Fida Hussain, and Ihsanullah Khan with Muhammad Khalid Rehmani as the captain. They won the match in the presence of Sri Lanka Tennis Association President Iqbal Issak who was there as the chief guest. Meanwhile, Japan emerged as the winner in both male and female events. They qualified for the World group event and earned their gold medal from the qualification round. Rehmani, who also serves as a vice-president of the Pakistan Tennis Federation, applauded the team's effort and highlighted the history they made in Colombo. "It is the first time that Pakistan reached the victory stand in wheelchair tennis," he said in a press statement. "They won bronze here. "I thank President Aisamul Haq and the International Tennis Federation Wheelchair Department who support wheelchair tennis in Pakistan. I also want to commend the former PTF president Salim Saifullah Khan who initiated wheelchair tennis in the country in 2018." Rehmani further added that the current PTF President Aisam, the only world-class player from the country in the open era, has planned to flourish wheelchair tennis more extensively in 2025 by adding more cities in the fold of the wheelchair development Initiative. There will also be efforts to invite a foreign coach who could further train Pakistani coaches for wheelchair training capacity building. During the bronze-medal match, Pakistan came from behind as Iran's Hussain Mamipour outplayed Fida 6-0,6-1 in the first singles rubber. But Abbasi defeated Iran's Muhammad Reza Yagoupi 6-0,6-0 during the second singles rubber to level the tie 1-1. The result fell solely on Asif and Fida's shoulders who played the deciding doubles rubber. They overcame their Iranian opponents 6-4,6-4 to seal the win.
