Ranbir Kapoor on Cheater Label Post Deepika Breakup: 'Not The Truth. People Don’t Know The Story...'

Ranbir Kapoor recently opened up on dating two successful actresses in a podcast with Nikhil Kamath. He mentioned that dating these actresses became a big part of his public identity. That apart, Ranbir also addressed the accusations of cheating that have been directed at him, explaining how it impacted him personally and affected his parents.

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor’s romance is one of Bollywood’s most talked-about relationships. While shooting for the 2008 film Bachna Ae Haseeno, they fell head over heels for each other. Deepika later accused him of cheating. She opened up on it on Koffee With Karan.

Opening up on his relationships, Ranbir told Nikhil, “When I started, I was always regarded as this playboy guy, who was just dating actresses. Let me tell you- I was in NYC for three years nine months – from 2000 to 2003. I didn’t date one girl. I was always an aashiq… So, I made myself believe that my first girlfriend in school when I left for New York, even though I was not with her, I made myself believe that that she was my love of my life. And now it’s over, let’s just focus on work. Of course, I dated two very successful actresses and that just became my identity. That he is a Casanova, I was labelled a cheater for a very large part of my life and I still am. I don’t care about it because it’s not entirely true. People don’t know the entire story and I would never speak about somebody like this in public because it’s very private thing. But, things were spoken about and if it makes that person happy, I don’t have any conflict with that person.”

After dating for about two years, they broke up in 2009, with rumours swirling that Ranbir cheated on her with Katrina Kaif. The next A-lister in Ranbir Kapoor’s dating saga was Katrina Kaif. Their whirlwind romance from 2010 to 2016 thrilled fans. Sparked on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in 2009, their secret love affair kept the rumour mill spinning. They enjoyed exotic vacations and lived together, and they were even supposed to get married, but it didn’t work out.
