When Deepika Padukone refused Katrina a wedding invite – A look back at the buzz-worthy moment

Bollywood fans love a good throwback, especially when it involves two of the industry’s top actresses and a candid moment that stirred up quite the buzz. One such moment unfolded on Neha Dhupia’s popular chat show No Filter Neha, when Deepika Padukone was asked a question that led to headlines and debates all over the internet.

In the show's fun yet spicy segment Say It Or Strip It, Neha asked Deepika whether she would invite Katrina Kaif to her wedding. Without missing a beat, Deepika replied with a straightforward "No." Her honest and unfiltered response hinted at the long-standing tension between the two, which fans had speculated about for years.

To understand the context, we have to rewind a bit. Deepika Padukone was once in a serious relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. However, things took a turn when reports surfaced that Ranbir had allegedly grown close to Katrina Kaif, which eventually led to a breakup. The supposed love triangle dominated gossip columns for months.

The tension between Deepika and Katrina was also visible during a famous episode of Koffee with Karan, where Deepika and Sonam Kapoor took some indirect digs at Ranbir. Later, when asked about Katrina, Deepika shared, “Sometimes you have a certain feeling for other people and they don’t necessarily feel the same way about you. But that’s okay,” hinting at an attempt to remain civil.

Despite everything, time has worked its healing magic. Deepika went on to marry Ranveer Singh in a dreamy Lake Como wedding, while Katrina tied the knot with Vicky Kaushal in a beautiful ceremony in Rajasthan. Interestingly, while Katrina wasn’t invited to Deepika’s wedding, she did attend the couple’s reception in Mumbai, which signaled a shift in the dynamic between the two actresses.

Today, both stars are enjoying happy married lives and have moved on from the past. But this iconic moment from No Filter Neha remains a classic example of Deepika’s honesty and grace even when things were complicated. Meanwhile Deepika Padukone is currently cherishing her journey into motherhood as she and Ranveer welcomed their baby Dua last year in September.
