In the midst of promotions for Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha, a film that brought former lovers Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone back together onscreen, one candid moment stole the show. During an interaction, Deepika was asked to choose the better actor between Ranbir and her then-boyfriend (now husband), Ranveer Singh. Caught in a classic love triangle of talent, Deepika diplomatically responded, “It’s like saying, do you prefer your mother or your father?”
The analogy drew some light-hearted chuckles — until someone from the audience cheekily asked, “Then who’s the mother?” To everyone’s amusement, Ranbir chimed in with a poker-faced retort: “ Main baap banna chahta hoon!” The crowd burst into laughter, as did Deepika, with the spontaneity of the comment leaving an impression that still echoes years later.
No Comparisons, Please
Following the laughter, Deepika steered the conversation back to a serious note, highlighting how the film industry often falls prey to endless comparisons. “I just feel like we are constantly comparing — whether it’s films, actors, this co-star or that. We don’t have to keep comparing all the time,” she said, urging the audience to appreciate the unique talents of both Ranbir and Ranveer. “Their personalities, the kind of work they do — we have to accept and appreciate them for who they are.”
Love Lost, Friendship Found
Deepika and Ranbir’s past relationship may have ended publicly, but it never eclipsed their professional rapport. They went on to deliver memorable performances together in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tamasha, with fans rooting for their crackling chemistry even after their breakup.
Meanwhile, Deepika's romance with Ranveer Singh bloomed into marriage, and Ranbir Kapoor eventually tied the knot with Brahmastra co-star Alia Bhatt. Despite their tangled romantic pasts, all four stars — Deepika, Ranbir, Ranveer, and Alia — now share a friendly equation, often seen supporting each other at events, premieres, and social gatherings.
A Reunion on the Horizon?
In what could be Bollywood’s most intriguing casting reunion, rumours are rife that the fab four might be seen together in Brahmastra 2, once again under the directorial vision of Ayan Mukerji. If it happens, it promises not just a spectacle of fantasy and fire, but a testament to how Bollywood friendships — and exes — can gracefully evolve.
From ex-lovers to onscreen co-stars and future collaborators, the Kapoor-Padukone-Singh-Bhatt camaraderie continues to charm fans. And thanks to one spontaneous daddy joke, Ranbir Kapoor just gave us another reason to revisit that magical Tamasha press tour.
