The year gone by, 2025, saw several random exes meeting up, be it accidentally, planned or impromptu. From Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor's meeting during IIFA, to Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor cutely hugging and kissing at the airport, to Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor hugging at an event.
Amid several coincidental meet-ups, it was Deepika and Ranbir's reunion that garnered the most eyeballs. Ever since they met, rumours were rife that they would be collaborating again. For months now, reports have suggested that exes Deepika and Ranbir will be seen together in a film. Recently, Deepika shed light on the ongoing rumours.
Deepika Padukone rang in her 40th birthday on Monday, January 5. A few days ahead of her birthday, the actress hosted a meet-and-greet with her fans to interact with them. During the event, she opened up about reuniting with her ex-boyfriend, actor Ranbir Kapoor, with whom she last worked in the 2015 film Tamasha.
At the event, fans urged Deepika to return to the rom-com genre, with some even shouting Hrithik Roshan's name, followed by Ranbir. Responding to the demand, the actress smiled and said, "We have spoken about it, honestly..."

Deepika was further asked when she would star in a rom-com, to which she replied, "I really hope very, very soon. As you all know, it is also one of my most favourite genres as an audience and as an actor. I just feel like the climate right now, or the environment right now — I feel like the audience is seeking something else. But if so many of you want a rom-com, I am sure a large part of the public wants that too."
Sparks flew when Ranbir and Deepika met
In October last year, Deepika and Ranbir's heartwarming reunion left fans delighted when they bumped into each other at the Mumbai airport. A video shared by a paparazzi Instagram account showed Deepika seated on a buggy, dressed in a grey co-ord set. Moments later, Ranbir arrived at the entry gate, greeted her with a friendly hug, and the two were seen riding away together in the same cart.
After being spotted together while leaving Mumbai earlier, the former couple was once again photographed by the paparazzi upon their return to the city from Delhi, with viral clips showing them hugging before heading to their respective cars.
Ranbir and Deepika first met on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008) and dated for nearly two years before parting ways in 2009. Ranbir is married to Alia Bhatt, they have a daugther, Raha.
While Deepika is married to Ranveer Singh, they have a daugther named Dua Padukone Singh. They have moved on in thier respective lives and are now happy parents to daughters.
