When Deepika Padukone Exposed Ranbir Kapoor, Called Him A 'Pathetic Boyfriend'
Last Updated: In 2008, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were a popular couple. Deepika later called Ranbir a "pathetic" boyfriend. News18 In 2008, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were a hot pair, both on-screen and off-screen. The duo met on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno, and their reel chemistry soon translated into real life. The duo would often be spotted on holidays and at public events, with their PDA on point. Then came a point in their lives, probably when they were still dating, when Deepika exposed Ranbir, calling him a 'pathetic" boyfriend. Ranbir was promoting Wake Up Sid in 2009, when, during one of his interviews, Deepika addressed her then-boyfriend through a pre-recorded message. She said, 'Ranbir as a boyfriend is pathetic. If there was a minus scale, he would top the minus scale. If you're feeling cold, he'll never give you his jacket. Instead, he will give you two hot water bottles and think you'll suddenly feel warm." Though both the actors have now happily moved on in their respective lives, their blasts from the past often makes rounds on the web. Deepika and Ranbir probably broke up in 2010. A year later, in 2011, the Ramayana actor publicly acknowleged the real reason behind their breakup. He admitted to having cheated on Deepika, adding that he has matured with time. 'Yes, I have cheated, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness," he openly shared in a throwback interview with Stardust. The Piku actor, too, publicly acknowledged her painful breakup with Ranbir. She admitted that she was 'foolish enough" to give her then boyfriend a second chance when well-wishers around her asked her not to. Speaking to Cosmopolitan back in the day, Deepika said, 'I was foolish enough to give him (Ranbir) a second chance because he begged and pleaded, despite the fact that everyone around me said he was still straying. Then I actually caught him red-handed. It took me a while to get out. But having done that, nothing can make me go back. That ship has sailed." Deepika also recalled the emotional turbulence that she went through after she found out that she was being cheated upon. '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," she said in the same interview. The Pathaan actor highlighted that although she invests deeply in relationships without expecting much in return, infidelity is something she considers an absolute deal breaker. 'Once it comes in, respect goes away, trust goes away and these are the pillars of a relationship you can't f*ck around with it," a heartbroken Deepika had said.

In the same book, Yaseer Usman revealed, 'This is the closest that Amitabh ever came to even admitting that all was not well in the Bachchan household. But Rekha kept fuelling the media fire. In an interview with Stardust, she made a strange claim: that Jaya had invited her over to the Bachchan home one day. 'Jaya did not mind the relationship as long as she thought her husband was only having a fling. It's when she realised that he was really emotionally involved, that is when it began hurting her. She called me for dinner one evening and though we spoke about everything but him, before I left that day, she made sure to tell me, 'I will never leave Amit whatever happens'.'

This actor earned the title of Bollywood's most dangerous villain, worked in films for 50 years, people used to curse him after seeing his role, his name was…
This legendary actor started his journey in black-and-white frames and he soon transformed into a symbol of onscreen fear. But behind the menacing facade was a powerhouse performer, whose transition into layered characters earned him unmatched respect. Who Was This Legendary Actor? Here we are talking about Late Pran Krishan Sikand Ahluwalia, known as Pran, who was given the title of 'Villain of the Millennium' in Indian cinema and worked in more than 350 films in his six-decade-long career. From the 1940s to the 1990s, his villainy scared the audience, while his supporting roles won hearts. Pran used to get so immersed in acting that people would shower him with abuse and curse him after watching his acting on screen. Pran was born on February 12, 1920, in Lahore and grew up in a prosperous Punjabi Hindu family in Ballimaran, Delhi. His father, Kewal Krishan Sikand, was a civil engineer and government contractor. Pran received his education in cities like Meerut, Dehradun, Kapurthala and Rampur. How Pran Made His Debut? Pran, who was interested in photography, started his career as a photographer in Lahore. He entered the world of acting after playing the role of 'Sita' in Ramlila in Shimla in 1938. His first Punjabi film was 'Yamla Jat', which was released in 1940. Pran played the role of a villain in the film. But he became a hero in Hindi cinema with the film 'Khandaan' released in 1942. Pran came to Mumbai after the partition in 1947 and made his mark in Bollywood with 'Ziddi'. Pran gave a new dimension to villainy in the 1950s and 60s. His powerful presence in his films like 'Madhumati' (1958), 'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai' (1960), 'Ram Aur Shyam' (1967) astonished the audience. His deep voice and dialogues like 'barkhurdaar' made him famous in every household. His villainy was so impressive that people were reluctant to name their children 'Pran', while many started cursing him due to his menacing screen presence. How Pran Became The Most Expensive Actor? Pran became one of the most expensive actors in Bollywood from 1969 to 1982. He suggested Amitabh Bachchan's name to producer Prakash Mehra for 'Zanjeer' in 1973, which played an important role in giving a new flight to Amitabh's career. Pran was a close friend of Ashok Kumar and both of them worked together in more than 20 films. More About Pran In 1997, he received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2000, Stardust's 'Villain of the Millennium' award. In 2001, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan. In 2013, he received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest honor of Indian cinema, which was presented at his home. Pran married Shukla Ahluwalia in 1945. They have three children: Arvind, Sunil, and Pinky. The legendary actor bid farewell to this world on 12 July 2013 at the age of 93 in Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai.
