Katrina Kaif, now happily married to Vicky Kaushal since 2021, was once in a relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. Their romance blossomed while working together on Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, making them one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples at the time.

Their relationship became a major topic of discussion, especially after private photos from their secret Ibiza vacation surfaced online and went viral. The leaked images fueled debates on the growing paparazzi culture in India, particularly in Bollywood. Even Deepika Padukone, who had previously dated Ranbir Kapoor, addressed the issue during her appearance on Karan Johar’s talk show.

During an earlier episode of Koffee with Karan, Deepika Padukone shared her perspective on paparazzi culture, stating that while it has its downsides, it is still far more controlled in India compared to the West. Host Karan Johar then reminded her of a past interview where she had mentioned the need for celebrities to be more cautious and asked whether she believed Katrina Kaif had been careless in handling her privacy.

Addressing the question with poise, Deepika explained how statements often get taken out of context to fit a narrative that benefits those writing the story. She clarified that her remarks were in response to a general question about paparazzi culture and had nothing to do with any particular incident. The Kalki 2898 AD actress further emphasized that she had no right to comment on someone else's personal experiences, as every individual navigates these challenges in their own way.

She shared that she is always mindful of her surroundings when in public, acknowledging the evolving nature of media and its constant presence. She emphasized that navigating this space is a personal choice, and she has consciously decided to handle herself and her career with careful consideration.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were in a relationship for seven years before reportedly parting ways in 2016. Reflecting on their breakup later, Katrina called it a "blessing," as it gave her the opportunity to focus on herself and understand her personal growth.

Today, all three have moved on and are happily married. Deepika Padukone tied the knot with Ranveer Singh in 2018, Katrina Kaif married Vicky Kaushal in 2021, and Ranbir Kapoor wed Alia Bhatt in 2022. On the professional front, Deepika was recently seen in Kalki 2898 AD, Ranbir last appeared in Brahmastra, and Katrina starred in Merry Christmas.
