Deepika Caught On the Backfoot

Deepika Padukone was caught shuttling between Ranbir Kapoor and Nihar Pandya on the sets of a soft drink commercial. It was an awkward moment for her, given her constant merry-go-round with three men – it was Yuvraj Singh a little while back, then there is Ranbir, who keeps flitting in and out, and finally there is old flame Nihar, who seems to be back in her life.


While on the sets of the commercial that she was shooting recently with Ranbir, Nihar happened to drop in for a while to spend some quality time with his lady. But he was aghast at her lukewarm behaviour. She did not exactly ignore him, but Nihar could sense that her attention was clearly divided. There was an awkward moment between the two men, who did not exchange even a single word. Nihar had no patience with Deepika's indecisiveness and left the sets soon enough. Meanwhile, Ranbir and Nandita Mahtani are no longer on talking terms. After a brief period of courtship, which included candlelight dinners, late night coffees, in Australia and in Mumbai, the two are no longer together. It seems that Ranbir's parents, Neetu and Rishi Kapoor did not approve of his relationship with the designer, who is at least ten years older to him. The story goes that Neetu sat Ranbir down and had a long talk with him and asked him to concentrate on his career now and not his personal life. After that heart-to-heart between mother and son, Ranbir and Nandita have not been seen together. But Ranbir has reportedly been seen with Deepika. So where does that leave Sonam Kapoor?
