Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were recently caught at the Mumbai airport, and a short but endearing encounter between the two has gone viral on the internet. In a now-famous video, the ex-beau couple are seen leaving the airport, Deepika slightly ahead. Ranbir shouts after her, utters, “Deepika, bye, I’ll see you around,” and hugs her warmly before parting ways.
This shocking twist has left viewers nostalgia-stricken about their legendary on-screen chemistry. Social media was abuzz with tweets by fans wishing for the on-screen reunion of the duo. One of them posted, “Bunny and Naina… Don and Mona darling,” while another wrote, “Ek hi dil hai, kitni baar jitoge!” Others called them the “best on- and off-screen jodi ever in Indian cinema” and asked for a new movie together, posting, “Do a movie together, plz… RK DEEPU!”
Deepika and Ranbir have appeared together in three iconic films — Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), and Tamasha (2015). Their chemistry as characters such as Bunny-Naina and Ved-Tara made them one of Bollywood’s most loved on-screen couples.
In the meantime, Deepika Padukone has made news recently due to her exits from big projects. It was recently announced that she will not be featured in the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD. Rumor has it that the move was made due to unsatisfied demands, which included a salary increase, fewer working hours, and special provisions for her crew.

Likewise, her walkout from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit was unconventional. Reasons given included her asking for sharing of profits, a reduced daily work schedule, and an exorbitant hike in salary.
All this notwithstanding, there’s still hope for the Deepika-Ranbir on-screen reunion among fans.
