Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s coinciding Delhi-Mumbai flights and warm airport hugs sparked curiosity among fans, reviving nostalgia over their on-screen chemistry and past relationship as photos flooded social media.

Mumbai: Bollywood superstars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were seen exiting the Mumbai airport together on October 4 after returning from their Delhi trip, where they had gone for different events.

Whether the two actors were on the same return flight remains unconfirmed, but visuals captured them walking out of the terminal around the same time in the evening before parting ways and leaving in their respective cars. Just before getting into their vehicles, they exchanged a brief hug, adding to the chatter around their joint travel schedule.

Earlier in the day, both Ranbir and Deepika were also spotted at the Mumbai airport boarding flights to Delhi. Locals noted that the two greeted each other with a warm hug before proceeding towards security checks. While Ranbir was travelling to Delhi for a scheduled event, the reason for Deepika Padukone’s trip to the capital has not been confirmed.

For their return to Mumbai, Deepika opted for a traditional all-white outfit paired with oversized sunglasses, striking a balance between elegance and simplicity. Ranbir chose a casual look with a brown jacket layered over a white T-shirt and dark denims, completing it with tinted sunglasses. Both stars were accompanied by their respective teams while exiting the airport.

The double sightings on the same day — first while departing Mumbai in the morning and later while arriving back in the evening — have generated significant buzz online, with fans debating whether the meetings were coincidental or pre-planned. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, who share a history of working together in hit films such as Bachna Ae Haseeno, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tamasha, continue to be among Bollywood’s most popular on-screen duos.

For the uninitiated, the two dated each other for quite some time before parting ways over a decade ago. Ranbir Kapoor is now married to Alia Bhatt, with whom he has a daughter, Raha, while Deepika Padukone is married to Ranveer Singh, whose recent film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with Alia Bhatt won the National Award for Best Popular Film. The couple are blessed with a baby girl, whom they have named Dua.
