Deepika Padukone Reveals Self-Doubt After Ranbir Kapoor’s Betrayal
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
The past romance between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone remains a notable chapter in Bollywood history. Their relationship was filled with highs and lows, ultimately concluding when Deepika discovered Ranbir’s infidelity. In an interview revisited by Cosmopolitan, she reflected on the emotional turmoil that followed their breakup.
Deepika shared her thoughts, stating, “If I’m going to be fooling around, why would I be in a relationship? It’s better to be single and have fun. But not everyone thinks like that. Maybe that’s why I’ve been hurt in the past. I was foolish enough to give him 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.”
Reflecting on her feelings during that difficult period, she noted, “The first time he cheated, I questioned our relationship and even my worth. However, when betrayal becomes a pattern, it becomes clear that the issue lies with him. I invest deeply in my relationships and expect little in return, but deceit is a clear deal breaker. Once trust and respect are lost, the foundational elements of any relationship crumble.”
“This experience taught me not to become overly attached to a person or situation. Post-breakup, the journey of rebuilding myself was challenging. I cried a lot, but ultimately, I have emerged stronger, and I owe him a degree of gratitude for that,” Deepika concluded.
In the years that followed their separation, Deepika found happiness with Ranveer Singh, while Ranbir married Alia Bhatt. Today, the couples maintain a cordial relationship and are navigating parenthood together.
