Ameesha Patel has categorically denied any romantic involvement with Ranbir Kapoor, addressing recent rumors that have been circulating in the media. The Gadar 2 actress, speaking in a recent interview, clarified that she has never dated Ranbir Kapoor, emphasizing that their families have simply been close for many years. The speculation, which resurfaced after several photos of them at social gatherings became widely shared, prompted Patel to speak out and put an end to the ongoing gossip.
In her interview, Ameesha Patel explained that her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor is based on longstanding family ties rather than romance.
My family knows the Kapoors since a long time,
she noted, adding that, at one point, she attended numerous parties with the Kapoor family and was often seen at Ranbir Kapoor’s Chembur bungalow or at matches with mutual friends. Patel disclosed that these appearances led to assumptions about her personal life, but she insisted,
When the gossip surfaced, people were shocked. I am seven years elder to him.
The actress also highlighted her family’s historic connection to the Kapoor family, mentioning meaningful moments such as the role of late Raj Kapoor during her grandfather’s final rites.
Rishi uncle, Babita ji, my parents—they were all friends during their dating phase. We’ve been connected to the Kapoor family for years,
Patel affirmed, reinforcing the idea that their bond is rooted in friendship and family association rather than romance.
Addressing further speculation, Ameesha Patel commented on previous rumors linking her with Ness Wadia. She insisted that their families, both prominent in Mumbai social circles, have shared a friendship spanning three generations.
These rumours probably came in because Ness is good-looking, eligible, and so am I. People just assumed we were a couple. This was way before Preity’s thing. We were just 15 or 16. There’s no truth to it. We’re still very good friends,
she said. Patel recalled fond memories from her school days spent with the Wadia family, underlining the innocence and platonic nature of their association.
The actress’s statements serve as a direct response to persistent rumors involving herself and Ranbir Kapoor, providing clarity not only for fans but for media observers as well. By openly addressing the issues, Ameesha Patel has sought to protect her personal life from continuing speculation. As the conversation around celebrity relationships remains intense and often emotionally charged, her comments may help shift focus away from unfounded stories and encourage a more genuine understanding of friendships within Bollywood’s close-knit circles.
