Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone remain one of the most memorable on-screen pairs. Although their off-screen romance ended years ago, fans still recall their chemistry both in films and real life. Recently, an old interview resurfaced where the two spoke about their very first meeting that turned into an unexpected long date.
In the interview, both actors revealed that their first outing happened while they were still in relationships with other people. The meeting was not planned by them but arranged by their common makeup artists, Bharat and Dorris.
Deepika said Dorris encouraged her to meet Ranbir, calling him a sweet person. A casual phone call soon led to an exchange of numbers.
Ranbir Kapoor later asked her out for lunch. He picked her up and took her to Celini at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. What was supposed to be a simple meal stretched into an entire day together.
Deepika shared that lunch turned into coffee, then dessert, followed by a movie. The pair watched Mr. Bean’s Holiday before heading out on a long drive. Ranbir dropped her home afterward, marking the start of their journey together.
While Deepika once referred to it as their “first date,” she later clarified that it was more platonic than romantic. Both admitted that their partners at the time were aware of the outing. Ranbir also disclosed that he was the one who pursued her after their initial meeting.
Their story eventually led to a relationship that became one of Bollywood’s most discussed romances. Even today, fans enjoy revisiting these moments of nostalgia. The details of the Deepika Padukone Ranbir Kapoor first date highlight not just their bond but also how simple beginnings can turn into unforgettable memories.
