Reports about the growing closeness between Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor have been coming in as the former lovers signed up for Ayan Mukherjee’s next and have become quite the bum chums off late. So much so that Ranbir is wooing his ex girlfriend back with lavish gifts. The new found friendship has definitely given a blow to the Deepika-Sidhartha Mallya relationship. The couple who were seen in every event hand in hand till last year have suddenly been making solo appearances at events. A source said, “Since August 2010, they have made several appearances together. They have been strangely cold and aloof while talking about their relationship.” Apparently, cracks started appearing when Deepika started talking to Ranbir again. Sidhartha has apparently confided to some of his close pals that “the relationship is not working and heading nowhere.” While Deepika refused to comment, it seems the actress hasn’t even been in touch with Sid for a significant amount of time.
