It’s been a question weighing on their fans’ minds… when is Bollywood’s newest IT couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh making it official? It’s gossip fodder that’s sparked off quite a few rumours already.
And then ‘Dream Girl’ Hema Malini stepped to add fuel to the fire.
Early in the morning on Thursday, she tweeted her best wishes to ‘Deepika’ on her engagement.
Deepika, All good wishes on ur engagement! Pray God both of u have a bright future, happiness & joy in ur life together

Many Twitters users took this to mean that the beloved Bollywood actress, who is currently shooting her Hollywood debut xXx in Canada, has finally swapped rings with her hunky beau.

After all, Ranveer came close to openly admitting to their relationship at the recently held TOIFA Awards in Dubai. Surely, this was the next logical step?
It was enough to throw Twitter into a fact-finding tizzy with fans from all around the world tweeting back to Hema Ji asking to verify which Deepika is she referring to and if it’s as official as she tweeted.
@dreamgirlhema deepika padukone?really?..congrats deepveer if it is true!

Eventually, Hema realised her mistake and clarified that her good wishes were for a Twitter follower named Deepika, not Deepika Padukone!
No no! This is Deepika who is following me on Twitter! Not Ms Padukone!

Well, too bad everyone! Lets all get back to work!
