Splitsville for Deepika & Siddharth?

Deepika padukone

Here's a question. When was the last time you saw Deepika Padukone and Sidhartha Mallya make an appearance together? It is alright if you can't remember, because they have actually not stepped out for nearly three months.

It's been a while since the star and her billionaire boyfriend kissed in a stadium or made a 'couple entry' at Arpita Khan's party. It has also been a while since they were spotted at a private dinner at a mid-town restaurant. Jog your memory some more, and you will also recall the two making an appearance at a party, where Deepika's former flame seemed to get along famously with Sidhartha.

We saw the happy pictures. We read about the so-called bonhomie and the pleasantries exchanged and we wanted to believe that the couple have matured. What the pictures did not tell us was the true story of simmering tension between Deepika and Sidhartha.

What was so far in the realm of speculation, gained credence when Sidhartha was conspicuous by his absence at Deepika's apartment on his birthday earlier this month. Significantly, when Mallya Junior ushered in the New Year with a big bash, Deepika was not by his side either. For a couple so visible in each other's company and apparently endorsed by their mutual families, this was rather strange indeed.

A source closed to the star, spilled the beans on the strained relationship. "Since August 2010, they have made several appearances together. But if you recall, they have been strangely cold and aloof while talking about their relationship. But all of us wanted to believe that they were headed for something stronger when Sidhartha dined with Deepika's family."

Deepika Padukone’s career plans 2012!

This year, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is looking forward to a great career. Though the actress did not taste much success in 2011, DP is not going to repeat what she had doen in the previous year.

“Success is completely related to the box office. So yes, I want to be a part of successful films. By success I mean those movies which are commercially viable and also enjoyable. There is no fun to be a part of those films which are not liked by the audience,” Deepika told a news agency on her birthday on Thursday.

Well by “films which are not liked by the audience”, Deepy meant films like Aarakshan and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey.

Year 2012 will see Deepika Padukone will be seen in three awesome projects. Cocktail with Saif Ali Khan, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani with Ranbir Kapoor and the multi-starrer Race 2.

“It is great to be paired with Saif again after ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and ‘Aarakshan’. Also, I love the way director Homi Adajania (of ‘Being Cyrus’ fame) explains the scenes and then cans the shots. He is really innovative and ‘Cocktail’ — though it is not really the final title — is an altogether different experience that would surprise the audience.”

“As for ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’, I am just waiting to begin the shoot with Ranbir (Kapoor) and Ayan (Mukherjee). We begin shooting on March 1 and the film should hopefully release by end of year. Around the same time ‘Race 2′ should also release,” Deepika said.

Deepika Padukone, for the first time will be entering the glamorous world of action-thriller with the ‘Race 2′.

“I was always a part of ‘Race 2′. It does happen that when there are so many actors involved, dates of one of them get pushed. Same was the case with my dates for ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’. Once Karan (Johar) and (Ramesh) Tauraniji sorted it out, it was all cool,” Deepika said.
