Aditya Roy Kapur, the Bollywood heartthrob, has been the subject of much speculation regarding his relationship status, especially after his rumored breakup with actress Ananya Panday. While neither party publicly confirmed the relationship, rumors circulated for nearly two years before whispers of a split emerged in 2024.

Recently, while promoting his upcoming film Metro… In Dino, Kapur has been playfully addressing questions about his love life. At promotional events, he wittily declared that he is currently "in a relationship" with his film. This humorous response served to deflect attention from his personal life and focus on his professional commitments.

In an interview with Kareena Kapoor Khan on her show What Women Want, Kapur described his relationship status as "chiller". When asked directly if he was in a relationship, he responded, "Is chilling a status? I'm a chiller".

Kapur has also opened up about his views on relationships and what he considers to be red and green flags. He emphasized the importance of kindness as a green flag, stating that someone who is genuinely kind makes all the difference in a long-term relationship, especially when navigating challenging situations. On the other hand, he humorously suggested that a red flag might be "someone who's got a prison record". More seriously, he has stated that obvious red flags include cheating, lying, and disrespect. He also believes that a partner who can't be happy for your success is a major red flag, "especially for successful women".

Interestingly, Kapur's Metro… In Dino co-star, Sara Ali Khan, jokingly calls him a "commitment phobic manchild" in the film. The movie explores the complexities of modern relationships, weaving together stories of couples navigating emotional crossroads in bustling metro cities. The film, directed by Anurag Basu, features an ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Anupam Kher.

In the context of reflecting on relationships, Kapur has shared his method for dealing with heartbreaks: cleaning his wardrobe. He finds that this unusual approach helps him cope with emotional distress. He also emphasized the importance of emotional connection in relationships, noting that while it's easy to stay connected with someone, it's crucial to ensure that the relationship is meaningful and enriching.

Regarding his past, Kapur was linked to Ananya Panday, with rumors of their romance starting in 2022. The two were often spotted together at parties and on vacation, fueling speculation about their relationship. However, neither of them ever publicly acknowledged the relationship or their reported breakup. Despite the breakup, both actors have maintained their professional schedules. Kapur even appeared in a commercial with Ananya's father, Chunky Panday, which drew mixed reactions online.
