Bollywood’s celebrated ex-flames, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, recently caused a massive stir among fans following a chance encounter at the Mumbai airport. After several heartwarming photos and videos of their Saturday morning reunion surfaced online, a new clip showing an amusing moment between the two actors has gone completely viral.
The latest footage captures Ranbir Kapoor appearing so distracted by his former co-star that he momentarily forgot where he was going, walking right past his own waiting car.
The ‘Deepika Padukone Effect’
In the viral clip, shared widely by fan pages, both actors are seen walking out of the airport with their security personnel. Deepika was walking slightly ahead, with Ranbir following closely behind. As Ranbir’s driver opened the door to his vehicle, the actor seemed completely oblivious and continued walking straight, focused entirely on Deepika.
It was only when Deepika stopped at her own car that Ranbir realized his mistake, prompting him to turn back toward his vehicle with a look of amusement and mild embarrassment.
The moment instantly charmed fans, with the video being captioned, “Why is he so funny around her?” The comment section was flooded with reactions celebrating the actors’ friendly chemistry.
One fan affectionately commented, “Hahaha he’s just a babyyyyyy,” while another wrote, “Bro forgot where he’s going to…” followed by laughing emojis. A third user summed up the reaction, stating, “He switched his mind off when he saw her.” Many fans referred to the moment as a sign that “the world is healing” and called the moment “cutie pookie.”
A Friendly Reunion Hug
This incident followed an earlier video from the airport showing the actors’ initial chance meeting. In that clip, Ranbir was seen spotting and waving at Deepika, who was moving toward her gate in an airport cart. Deepika promptly stopped the cart to wait for him. Ranbir joined her, and the two shared a warm side hug before engaging in a friendly chat as the cart drove off.
Later, when the actors were spotted returning to Mumbai, they were seen sharing a friendly goodbye hug before heading to their respective cars, confirming the warmth and maturity in their current relationship.
From Romance to Friendship
Ranbir and Deepika first met on the sets of their 2008 film Bachna Ae Haseeno and dated for two years before their separation. Despite their breakup, they maintained a successful professional and friendly relationship, starring in two major hit films, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tamasha.
Today, both actors are happily married and embracing parenthood. Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot with actress Alia Bhatt in 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Raha. Deepika Padukone married actor Ranveer Singh in 2018, and they are parents to a daughter named Dua.
