There is no denying to the fact that actress Deepika Paduokne and Sidhartha Mallya, son of currently under-fire magnate and owner of Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya, have parted ways.

While Sid may be busy helping his dad get the airlines back in the air - a bad debt situation has more or less grounded the fleet, the couple never publicly accepted the fact but their numerous appearances together and public display of affection left no doubt in anybody's mind about their alleged affair.

But all that walking together, hand-in-hand days have come to an end. Both Deepika and Sidhartha attend events and functions all by themselves. They also try to stay away bumping into each other to avoid awkward moments.

Recently at the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female and Male Awards function report suggests that Deepika was seen avoiding Sidhartha. When Deepika walked into the venue she saw her ex posing for pictures and replying to queries. Both Deepika and Sidhartha was asked about their relationship status (separately of course). Mallya boy replied that he is single but Deepika choose to avoid it.

When this entire avoiding act is going on we read that former lovers, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika have apparently been spending 'quality' time together.

Fans might argue that all this meeting up is all for work since the two will soon start shooting for Ayan Mukerji's film. But what if we say the two were seen bonding at Rohit Dhawan's wedding party in Goa. What sort of work preparation was going on in a wedding party? That's not all; they were also spotted together in Los Angeles last week.

Ayan Mukerji's film will be shot in Nainital in March so once again there will be enough bonding in-between work.

Fans will of course remember that the two had a beautiful relationship and that was the only one they had publilcly accepted. It's on record that Ranbir has accepted that Deepika is very dear to him.

And not to forget the RK tattoo in Deepika's neck is still on its place.

Well there must have been a strong reason for Deepika to keep that tattoo even after her relationship with Sidhartha.

Life and love seem to have come a full circle for Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
