Deepika Padukone, the sizzling hot sexy bombshell of bollywood who made her dream debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, has split with boyfriend Yuvraj Singh, the dashing Indian cricketer, and is back with her old flame Ranbir Kapoor.
The main reason for the break up is said to be over possessiveness of Yuvraj Singh regarding Deepika’s skimpy outfits and party habits. The actress did not want her budding bollywood career to be affected by these restrictions and hence preferred to say bye bye to her relationship with Yuvraj Singh.
The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Deepika and Yuvraj were deeply involved with each other and were very serious about future of their relationship. Yuvraj had even introduced the sexy actress to his mother and other relatives at his birthday party held in a suburban hotel.
But all this changed drastically after Deepika tasted the success of ‘Om Shanti Om’ and offers from prestigious banners came pouring in. She became busy with story sessions from different producers and could not find enough time for Yuvraj Singh who started sulking over this negligence.
But the matter came to head when Deepika went to Australia for the shooting of Yash Raj Films’ new movie with Ranbir Kapoor. The rumours of her increasing proximity to Ranbir Kapoor reached Yuvraj Singh and he demanded an explanation from the actress, but instead of answering she started avoided his calls. It was then that Yuvraj Singh and Deepika had a huge showdown over Ranbir and the relationship was over.
After keeping low profile for a while about her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika was seen openly flaunting the new camaraderie at a recent party hosted by Farah and Aqueel. They were seen not only holding hands but also whispering sweet nothings to each other like a couple in much love. They even kissed each other without caring a damn about the gathering.
It may be recalled that Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor had been dating each other even before the release of their respective debut films ‘Om Shanti Om’ and ‘ Saawariya’ but could not continue it due to objections from director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In fact, Sanjay Bhansali, who was directing ‘Saawariya’ with Ranbir, did not want him to be highlighted for any other reason before the release of film, as that would have affected the box office chances of his magnum opus.
But this time there is no such hitch and on the contrary Deepika-Ranbir came closer during the Australian spell of Yash Raj Films being directed by Siddharth Anand and the director would certainly like to cash in on this real love story to make his upcoming film hit at the box office.
Hmm……hmm…..let us hope Deepika-Ranbir relationship is not as fickle as her earlier relationships with the likes of ….Pandya, Dhoni, Yuvraj …… and certainly not for the promotion of her upcoming Yash Raj flic
k … (sounds cynical, na)….hee…tee….hee!!This could turn out to be the love story of 2008. 'Mr Sixer' Yuvraj Singh is dating Bollywood's latest heartthrob Deepika Padukone, sources close to the families say.
The sources, however, scotched media reports that the model-turned-actress had been invited to Australia by the cricketer, currently on tour Down Under.
Deepika, they insisted, was in Sydney shooting for Yash Raj Films' next venture being directed by Siddharth Anand of 'Tara Rum Pum' fame, in which she is paired opposite Ranbir 'Saa-wariya' Kapoor.
A friend of the Padukones said, "Deepika is in Australia in her own capacity and the India-Australia Test match just happens to be taking place around the same time. But one thing is sure — Yuvraj and Deepika are dating each other."
Meanwhile, a source close to the Singh family told TOI on Friday, "The two are very close to each other. In two years' time, if things go well, marriage could be on the cards. But right now, both of them are focused on their respective professions."
Incidentally, Deepika will be celebrating her 22nd birthday on Saturday, the crucial fourth day of the ongoing second Test match, and the pair is expected to be together for the occasion.
Earlier, Deepika's name had been linked with India's ODI captain, M S Dhoni. He had even invited the actress for the one-off Twenty20 match against Australia in Mumbai last year.
But lately, she has been seen with the dashing southpaw. Deepika attended Yuvraj's birthday party at Enigma, J W Marriott, on December 12 and that was right after the India-Pakistan Test match in Bangalore, where Yuvi struck a crackling 169.
In November, they were also seen together after the last match of the India-Pakistan one-day series.
The southpaw has run up a string of low scores against Ponting's Australia. In fact, he looked both ungainly and out-of-sorts on Friday, and fell cheaply to Brett Lee for a score of 12.
After India had lost the first Test at Melbourne without much of a fight, Indian team manager Lalchand Rajput was quoted in the media saying that senior players were upset over Yuvraj's attitude. The comments were later denied, both by Rajput and the team management.
