Ranbir Kapoor Walks Past His Car Chasing Deepika — Fans Are Amused
Ranbir Kapoor forgets his car while following Deepika Padukone at the airport, sparking laughs.
A lighthearted moment between former couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone captured at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on October 4, 2025, has sent social media into a frenzy, reigniting fascination with their storied history. In a viral video shared by a fan page on Instagram, Ranbir is seen distractedly following Deepika as they exit the terminal, surrounded by security personnel. The Bollywood heartthrob, seemingly engrossed, walks right past his waiting car, only realizing his gaffe when Deepika reaches her vehicle. The clip, amassing over 500,000 views within hours, prompted a deluge of amused reactions, with fans quipping, “Why is he so funny around her?” and “He switched his mind off when he saw her.” This endearing blunder underscores the enduring public intrigue surrounding the duo, whose past relationship remains a touchstone in Indian pop culture.
The incident followed another viral moment at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, where Ranbir and Deepika shared a warm hug before boarding the same airport buggy. Deepika, dressed in a chic grey co-ord set, greeted Ranbir at the entry gate, and the two were seen chatting amiably as they rode off together. This public display of camaraderie, despite their high-profile breakup in 2009, highlights their professional respect and personal maturity. The actors, who dated from 2007 to 2009 during their rise to stardom, have since collaborated successfully in films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), which grossed ₹319 crore globally, and Tamasha (2015). Their airport interactions, blending warmth and whimsy, have fueled social media buzz, with over 10,000 X posts analyzing their body language and reminiscing about their onscreen chemistry.
The internet’s reaction to Ranbir’s airport misstep was amplified by the duo’s complicated romantic history, which both have addressed candidly in past interviews. In a 2010 Cosmopolitan interview, Deepika revealed that Ranbir’s repeated infidelity led to their breakup, recounting how she caught him “red-handed” despite giving him a second chance. “I was foolish enough to believe him, but that ship has sailed,” she said, emphasizing her resolve to move forward. Ranbir, in a 2011 Stardust interview, admitted to his mistakes, attributing them to “immaturity” and “callousness.” These revelations, resurfaced by fans on platforms like Reddit, where threads garnered 8,000 upvotes, add a layer of poignancy to their public reunion, with many praising Deepika’s poise and Ranbir’s sheepish charm in the viral clip. The moment, light as it seems, reflects their ability to maintain a cordial rapport despite past pain.

On the professional front, both stars are riding high with ambitious projects. Deepika, fresh off her role in Kalki 2898 AD, which earned ₹1,000 crore worldwide, is set to star in Shah Rukh Khan’s action thriller King and Atlee’s AA22 X A6 alongside Allu Arjun, cementing her pan-Indian appeal. Ranbir, meanwhile, is preparing for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where he plays Lord Ram in a ₹500 crore epic slated for 2026. Their packed schedules, with Deepika filming in Hyderabad and Ranbir shooting in Mumbai, suggest the airport encounter was a serendipitous overlap during promotional or travel commitments. Industry insiders note their combined star power still drives box office projections, with Love & War already generating ₹50 crore in pre-release deals.
The viral video, while humorous, taps into a broader narrative of nostalgia and redemption that captivates Bollywood fans. Social media reactions, including memes shared 20,000 times on Instagram, celebrate Ranbir’s relatable gaffe and Deepika’s effortless cool, with comments like “DP is just unbothered royalty.” As India’s film industry evolves, with 2025’s box office projected to hit ₹12,000 crore, the enduring allure of Ranbir and Deepika—both as individuals and as a former couple—continues to shape cultural conversations. Their airport moment, fleeting yet iconic, reaffirms their status as Bollywood’s most magnetic exes, turning a simple misstep into a viral testament to their shared history and undeniable charm.
