So when the disciplinarian mama Neetu Singh saw her son falling head-over-heels with the gorgeous beauty, she pulled the reins and Ranbir was packed away to Bhansali’s school for Saawariya. What followed were rumors of a link-up between Ranbir and his co-star Sonam, who also hailed from an equally filmy background and was supposed to be a promising star in the making.

An independent and dignified beauty, Deepika went to give OSO her best shot. Her hurt ego and achy breaky heart found little solace with Dhoni as well as Yuvi’s shoulders. What really served as a healing touch was her victory against archrival Sonam. OSO’s success not only established Deepika as the hottest debutant but also earned her credibility as an actress. And the first name on her long list of fans was none other than Ranbir’s. While some of the biggest female stars have to keep their romance with lesser-known celebs a secret, Deepika had luck by her side.

Though her beau’s film was torn apart in shreds by critics, Ranbir emerged as a winner. And a true Youngistani at heart that he is, a confident Ranbir announced to his mom at the Filmfare Awards’ night that he would be bringing a girl home for dinner that night. A tight-lipped Neetu Singh chose silence as her best weapon back then. Taking this as a go-ahead, Ranbir flew all the way to Australia and later to Thailand so that Deepika could have romantic breaks in between her shoots.

While the couple has finally admitted in front of the media about their feelings for each other, not all is hunky-dory back home. When we last called up Neetu Singh to check on the same, she told us, “I don’t know how official is Ranbir’s relationship with Deepika but I do know that they are great friends. Though I have met Deepika at a few parties and she seems like a nice girl, Ranbir does not discuss his personal life when home nor do I interfere in his.”

Recently making his love interest clear, Saawariya star blew a kiss straight from the ramp to Deepika. He refused to comment on his romantic link-up with Deepika. Starting with his signature dance step from the title song of Saawariya, Ranbir descended on the runway.

There couldn't have a better confession of love than this Ranbir made it clear at the LFW that Deepika is his love interest," said Rashmi Singh, who attended the show. The two lovebirds sure plan to spend every moment together – whether it’s on sets or off! We recently heard that Deepika was searching for home and hoped to get one close to current beau and it looks like the ladylove did mange to secure a plush apartment in the swanky lanes of Pali Hill for herself!

Deepika is rumored to have moved into a flat in Cozy Home, which is just a hop, skimp and jump away from Krihsna Raj – Ranbir’s home. Ever since the two began dating one another, Ranbir is said to have made it quite clear that wanted Deepika to live close by. “Deepika has almost become a part Ranbir’s family. She has met his aunts, uncles and cousins. And Neetu aunty has really bonded with her too. In fact when Deepika was looking for apartments Neetu aunty really helped her out as well,” says a friend of the couple, “They two have been inseparable since their return from Australia. And with their shooting schedules all over the place for the coming year, the two wanted to live close by so that they could meet as much as possible!

With Ranbir having a hectic love life and an equally hectic professional, it is to be expected that he is not in touch with his first co-star and good friend Sonam Kapoor. It seems that after Ranbir has come back from Australia, he has not bothered to call her or keep in touch. Apparently Sonam did try and call Ranbir a couple of times but he did not take her call. She made one last-ditch effort to get in touch with him before she left for her Dilli 6 schedule. So the one-time friends, who were also reported to be seeing each other, are not even on talking terms today. And one of the reasons for it is Ms Padukone. Apparently, she is not very comfortable with the idea of her man being cozy and friendly with another woman. Also the rumors about Ranbir and Sonam seeing each other after the release of Saawariya, have made her a little possessive. Not that our man Ranbir is exactly protesting. In fact, he is believed to have ignored Sonam's call, as he did not want to upset his ladylove. In turn, he is the one who insisted that she move in close to his place in Pali Hill. Well, Deepika has already made her way into Ranbir's heart and is also believed to have bonded quite well with his mother too. And with Krishna Raj being just a stone's throw away, she should have enough time to bond with the khandaan. So book a seat with us, grab some popcorn and stay logged in to find out the climax of the real-life remake of Bobby.
