Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone began dating in 2007, but within two years, the relationship came to an end. Despite a tumultuous breakup, the former couple has managed to maintain a mostly cordial relationship.

But did you know that before dating Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone was in a live-in relationship with actor and model Nihar Pandya? In fact, the couple was said to have been so serious about each other that Ranbir even once felt jealousy when he noticed his then-girlfriend Deepika spending time with Nihar, that he punched him on the streets.

However, the most shocking part of this sort of love triangle is the way that Deepika Padukone broke up with Nihar Pandya. According to reports, Nihar and Deepika were happily living together when one day Deepika abruptly brought Ranbir Kapoor home with her and asked Nihar to get out of their house.

It s said Nihar was completely blindsided that Deepika was no longer interested in him. When Deepika brought Ranbir Kapoor home, Nihar, who had previously harbored no suspicions, and had been living with Deepika, was genuinely pleased to meet his girlfriend’s new acquaintance. The evening was progressing harmoniously until Deepika dropped a bombshell, instructing Nihar to depart—yes, to leave his own home that he had been sharing with Deepika. Ranbir was impassive and watched the events unfold as Nihar was directed to leave.

Recalling the incident Nihar Pandya once said, “I’d be lying if I said I’ve gotten over it. The hurt somehow never goes away. When something like this happens, when the world you built with another person over the years falls apart in less than a month, you begin to question your life and priorities.”

Both Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have since moved on in their lives and found love with their respective partners. But one can’t help but wonder if they ever felt their conscience hurt over this incident.
