Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are one of the top actors in the entertainment industry. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have etched their names in the entertainment business, while both came from different backgrounds, Deepika’s father is Prakash Padukone, who is a former professional badminton player, and her mother, Ujjala, is a travel agent. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor comes from a film background, he is the son of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. However, did you know that the 9th of November is a very special day for Deepika and Ranbir? You may wonder why? Let’s know why this day is special for both the actors.

Going back to 2007, Deepika Padukone made her debut in the iconic film Om Shanti Om alongside actor Shah Rukh Khan. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor made his debut with acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Saawariya. The interesting fact is that only one actor succeeded with their debut film, and it’s none other than Deepika Padukone’s film that dominated at the box office. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor’s debut wasn’t the dream start he was hoping for.

Filmmaker Farah Khan’s directorial venture ‘Om Shanti Om’ outshined Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama. At that time Farah’s film made a whopping business of Rs 152 crore worldwide, while Saawariya earned Rs 39.22 crore. It has been 17 years since the release of both the films. On this day, a big clash was witnessed at the box office. Om Shanti Om starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, which rocked the box office, and Saawariya featured Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor, which was rejected by the audience.

In fact, fans were waiting for both the films to release for different reasons. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film, which is considered a guaranteed hit today, flopped terribly in 20027. Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam Kapoor also made an entry to Bollywood in this film. Despite being a major flop at the box office, Ranbir got recognition from the film.

On the other end, it was the perfect start for Deepika Padukone. Om Shanti Om turned out to be a superhit. The film not only put Deepika in the limelight, she also got widely recognised. After this film, soon Deepika Padukone became the first choice in the entertainment industry. Her films started performing well at the box office.

While Deepika and Ranbir are both successful actors, they come from different backgrounds. There was a time when both were very close to each other. Deepika was madly in love with Ranbir, but their love could not reach the stage of marriage and after a point both parted ways. Deepika married Ranveer Singh and Ranbir married Alia Bhatt. Now both of them have daughters, Ranbir’s daughter’s name is Rhea and Deepika’s daughter’s name is Dua.
