Did you know that Ranbir Kapoor had once punched Deepika Padukone's ex-boyfriend, Nihar Pandya? Read on to know the whole scoop!

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone began dating in 2007, but their relationship ended in just two years. Despite an ugly break-up, the ex-couple has remained cordial. But things weren't this rosy many years ago. Ranbir and Deepika began dating in 2007 when the two were working on their debut films, and their love blossomed on the sets of their 2008 film Bachna Ae Haseeno. Before Ranbir, Deepika was dating Nihar Pandya. According to reports, the actor once got jealous when his then girlfriend spent time with her ex-boyfriend, Nihar Pandya. Ranbir reportedly punched Nihar on the streets.

Deepika Padukone has often spoken up about ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor cheating on her. Many years ago, she even witnessed a rather troubling time when Ranbir got into a fist-fight with her ex, Nihar Pandya. According to reports by Khaleej Times, back when Deepika was dating Ranbir, she spent met with Nihar for a long lunch. This took place when Ranbir was away for a shoot in Ooty. An insider told Khaleej Times, “Maybe one is reading too much into a lunch but it lasted over two hours and they seemed to be engrossed with each other.” For the uninitiated, Nihar and DP were quite serious about each other during their relationship.

The reports then claimed that Ranbir, later, had a fist fight with Nihar Pandya in the middle of the road when he spotted them together. Deepika had to step in between and calm the two down. Reportedly, Ranbir was very possessive for Deepika. As per Khaleej Times, the insider said, “He (Ranbir) was also a bit jealous about Deepika shooting Chandni Chowk to China with Akshay Kumar in Bangkok and had actually ignored Akshay when he bumped into him later.”

The source continued, “At the very beginning of their relationship, while they were shooting for Yash Raj in Australia, Ranbir was aware that Deepika had flown over to meet Yuvraj in Adelaide. He did not say anything at the time because he was insecure about their relationship. But Nihar is one person he cannot ignore because he knows that Nihar is still madly in love with Deepika and will do anything to get her back. Deepika knows that Ranbir is very conscious of his reputation and does not like to hear rumours about her. Recently the two decided to stop giving interviews about their love life because it was attracting too much media. So now that the news is out about Deepika and Nihar, how will Ranbir react?”

However, this is a thing of the past and the actors are all happy with their current partners and their successful career. Deepika Padukone is happily married to Ranveer Singh. She was last seen in Shakun Batra’s Gehraiyaan. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor is in love with Alia Bhatt, and fans are totally in awe of their chemistry. They will be seen together for the first time in Brahmstra. Talking about Nihar Pandya, he is married to singer Neeti Mohan and they have a little son, Aryaveer.
