Here are all the details of Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan's alleged relationship

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif made the headlines when they split up last year, post dating for a period of five years. Earlier, Ranbir had mentioned that Katrina and he were to tie the knot by the end of the year, and the sudden news of their split shook the entire nation.

The two had hardly addressed the topic until Ranbir finally gave an interview to a noted journalist. He said, “Over the years, I’ve realised my personal life is very dear to me, especially what my relationship with Katrina is. After my parents, she’s been the most influential, most motivational entity in my life and I hold that very dear. So, I don’t want to speak anything about it. There’s no negativity, there is no sense of bitterness, so there’s nothing to talk about.”

Ranbir had started shooting for Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' when he became good friends Fawad Khan, who played a cameo in the film. It was Fawad who introduced Ranbir to Mahira Khan at a party abroad and reportedly the two instantly hit it off. A source stated, “Ranbir and Mahira met during one of their trips abroad and got along like a house on fire. They have stayed in touch ever since.”

The two of them even appeared together on the red-carpet of Global Teacher Prize Ceremony in March in Dubai. There are speculations of them getting fond of each other. Recently, Ranbir's friends claimed that their relationship was progressing from being just friends. A source stated, “Ranbir is very fond of Mahira. He talks about her very warmly and affectionately. The actor proudly shows off her pictures on his phone to his close friends. This is building into something more than just a casual friendship.” Apparently, Ranbir's mom Neetu Kapoor has even been catching up with Mahira's work as Ranbir claimed, “she has been watching serials like Humsafar.”
