From ‘we are just good friends’ to closeness between co-stars, the alleged love affairs of Bollywood celebrities have always been the talk of the town. While some made it to tabloids after leaked pictures, others openly confirmed their dating rumours. But among those who had kept their romance a secret was former couple, Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh.
The then-newbies set the screen on fire with their crackling chemistry in films like Band Baaja Baarat and Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. And soon, reports of their alleged relationship surfaced online. While Anushka had denied dating “dirty boy” Ranveer Singh on Karan Johar’s chat show, reports in leading dailies suggested otherwise.
And if reports are to be believed, their romance was shortlived as they called it quits after the 2011 IIFA Awards. Rumours were rife that Ranveer’s closeness to Sonakshi had left Anushka miffed. Some also stated that Ranveer’s bond with his Goliyon Ke Rasleela: Ram Leela co-star Deepika Padukone was the reason behind their breakup. However, the duo remained tight-lipped about the same.
Two years after their alleged breakup, Ranveer Singh had opened up about terribly missing his rumoured ex-girlfriend Anushka Sharma. “I miss her tremendously. She is full of love. Too many people have misunderstood her. Too many people just don’t get where she is coming from and the kind of person that she is,” he was quoted as saying by IDiva.
“She is one of the purest and honest people I have ever met. It’s a big thing to say therefore it may sound to the reader like an exaggeration. Honestly, I’ve met few people who have nothing but purity in their heart and soul. I get angry when I read negative articles about her. It infuriates me more than my own negative articles,” he had said in the same interview.
Fast forward to2022, the former lovebirds share a good bond with each other. Anushka had even attended Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s wedding reception with her husband Virat Kohli. The ex-lovers later shared the screenspace in Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do.
