Ranbir Kapoor hails from an acting family and has established himself as one of the most outstanding actors of his time, winning multiple honors for his roles in films such as “Rockstar,” “Barfi!” and “Sanju.” Katrina Kaif, on the other hand, is a British-Indian actress who has appeared in films such as “Ek Tha Tiger,” “Dhoom 3,” and “Tiger Zinda Hai.”

She is regarded as one of Bollywood’s most attractive actresses and has received several honors for her performances.

The audience praised Ranbir and Katrina’s on-screen chemistry, and their off-screen romance boosted their popularity. They had been together for nearly six years before deciding to split up. Let’s go over their relationship chronology and final split.

Why did the couple break up?

The precise reasons behind Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s breakup are unknown because they have not publicly discussed them. Yet, several media sources have speculated on the grounds behind their breakup.

There were several rumors of infidelity. Reports suggest that Ranbir’s closeness with his ex-girlfriend, Deepika Padukone, caused differences between the couple. Ranbir and Deepika became great friends after their breakup and this irked Katrina. The fact that Ranbir, at that time, was working on a film, “Tamasha,” where he was romancing Deepika Padukone, didn’t help the couple’s cause either.
