Mumbai, October 5, 2025 — A nostalgic moment for Bollywood fans unfolded at Mumbai airport on Saturday as former couple and superstar actors Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor shared a heartfelt goodbye hug, sparking a buzz across social media.
The duo, who coincidentally bumped into each other earlier the same day while flying out of Mumbai to Delhi, were once again seen together upon their return. Videos capturing their airport interaction have gone viral, with fans swooning over the pair’s unexpected yet warm camaraderie.
A Quick Hug, A Lot of Buzz
Dressed in a graceful off-white ethnic suit, Deepika Padukone exited the terminal alongside Ranbir Kapoor, who sported a casual look in a white T-shirt, brown jacket, and black jeans. Both stars kept it low-key with sunglasses shielding their faces. As they walked out, the two shared a quick exchange — pointing toward their respective cars — before Deepika leaned in and gave Ranbir a friendly goodbye hug.
Though brief, the moment reignited memories for fans of the duo’s on-screen and off-screen chemistry.
From Mumbai to Delhi and Back Together
What made the interaction even more intriguing is that the two stars were seen together in Delhi earlier that day. Ranbir had flown in to attend the launch of his lifestyle brand ARKS, where he delighted fans with impromptu performances and nostalgic references to his iconic film roles. Deepika’s reason for being in the capital remains undisclosed, leading to plenty of speculation.
Earlier at Mumbai airport, Ranbir—dressed in all-black with his signature cap and shades—spotted Deepika in an airport shuttle and didn’t hesitate to wave her down. What followed was a warm, spontaneous hug that instantly trended online.
Fans Can’t Keep Calm
As expected, the internet exploded with reactions. One fan commented, “They still look so good together,” while another speculated, “Is this a PR move or a genuine coincidence?” Others were left wondering if the duo were part of the same event or if something was brewing behind the scenes.
