Ranbir Kapoor on cheating in his relationship

When Ranbir and Deepika parted ways in 2009, speculations were rife that RK had fallen for his ‘Rajneeti’ co-star Katrina Kaif. Speaking to a magazine, the actor confessed to cheating in a relationship ‘out of immaturity, inexperience and out of 'taking advantage of certain temptations’.
Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘phailoed’ comment for Alia Bhatt
Ranbir landed in trouble when he said that his pregnant wife, Alia Bhatt had 'phailoed', while looking at her baby bump. His comment was deemed as body shaming by netizens who slammed the actor on social media. Apologising for the same, Ranbir had said, “I love my wife with everything that I have in my life. And what happened on that, I think it's a joke that didn't turn out to be funny. I really want to apologise if I have triggered anyone. It was not my intention. So I want to say sorry to people who got offended or triggered. I spoke to Alia about it and she really laughed it off and she didn't mind it. But I do have a bad sense of humour and sometimes it falls flat on my own face. So I am sorry if I have hurt anyone about it."
