Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were one of the hottest couples of Bollywood but for reasons best known to them, the two-drifted apart and parted ways, and are now just friends.

Today, we bring to you a flashback interview (By People magazine) of Ranbir and Deepika, where they revealed everything about their first date and how they fell in love.

Their First Meeting

Deepika Padukone: ''This goes back to when we were shooting for our respective debut films [Om Shanti Om and Saawariya] and we had just heard about each other.''

''We had common makeup artists -- Bharat and Dorris. Dorris is really fond of us, and she told me that he [Ranbir] is a really sweet guy and we should meet up.''

We Went For Lunch

''Dorris had once called him when she was with me. She said: "Why don't you guys talk?" That's when we first spoke and exchanged numbers. A few days later, almost around the same time [July 2007], he asked me out for lunch. He came and picked me up and we went to Celini at Grand Hyatt [Mumbai] for lunch.''

We Spent The Day Together

Ranbir Kapoor: We just happened to spend the day together.

It Didn't End There

Deepika: It was meant to be only lunch; but lunch became coffee; coffee became cheesecake; and cheesecake became movie.

Ranbir: Mr Bean's Holiday is the movie we watched at PVR Cinemas in Juhu.

We Started Seeing Each Other On This Date...

Deepika: That didn't end there. It became a long drive and then he dropped me home. We started seeing each other on February 23, [2008]. It has been a year since we have known each other.

I Remember What Deepika Was Wearing That Day

Ranbir: I clearly remember she was wearing a white ganji and white linen pants. She had her hair tied up in a bun.

I Can't Forget Ranbir's Ugly Shoes

Deepika: I don't remember really. He was wearing layered clothes: a T-shirt and a half sleeve shirt on top of it. Oh, how can I forget the ugly shoes that he had worn? What are those shoes called?

Ranbir: Hmmm... Timberland.

Now He Has Changed

Deepika: Now he has changed, he wears these really cool shoes. But at that point the couple of times we met he wore this pair of ugly shoes. I remember complaining about the shoes to him then.

Ranbir's Frame Is So Small

Ranbir: I only wear them now when she is out of town. But they are a favourite pair of shoes.

Deepika: The boots don't suit him as his frame is so small and the boots are so huge.

I Pursued Deepika...

Ranbir: I pursued her. I'm quite orthodox that way. I feel a man should always pursue a woman.''

He Came All The Way To Karjat To Pick Me Up..

"He came all the way to Karjat to pick me up. I was shooting a song with Akshay Kumar for Chandni Chowk to China then, and he was free for a couple of days. He drove all the way to Karjat to pick me up and we spent the evening together."
