Though the couple never admitted to it, it was quite obvious considering the fact that they were always spotted together. Anushka seemed to be bothered when Ranveer’s name was linked with actress Sonakshi Sinha, however she didn’t let it bother her relation. However soon after that, something went wrong and their relationship soared and they decided to part ways. Since then till now, both the stars have maintained their dignity and are always known for speaking well about each other. Ranveer even promoted Anushka’s latest movie Sultan in his own quirky way. Anushka too doesn’t shy away from saying that Ranveer will always be special to her.

The couple was head over heels in love with each other and the affair was so intense that Deepika even got an RK tattoo inked on the nape of her neck. However the destiny had some different plans and the couple separated after dating for a year. Some believe it was Ranbir who cheated on Deepika and as a result Deepika decided to part the ways. However Deepika has not let this heartbreak affect her professional life. This ex couple went ahead and signed the movie Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani together which was a huge hit. The pair was later seen again with Tamasha. Throughout this journey, Deepika has always maintained that Ranbir will always be close to her heart no matter what and this level of maturity is hard to find these days.

Many feel that Salman is the real reason behind Katrina’s success today considering he was the one who gave her first ‘good’ break in his movie Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya. Soon Katrina became a known face and rumours of them parting ways started making rounds. Katrina started dating Ranbir Kapoor and Salman briefly announced that he was very much single.
