Are Ranbir, Deepika back together?

Former lovers, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have apparently been spending 'quality' time together post her break-up with Sidhartha Mallya.

Life and love too, seem to have come a full circle for Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. After being together for over a year, going through a bitter break up and then getting back to being friends, the Kapoor lad and the model-turned-actress seem to be finding solace in each other's company once again.

Says a source, "They were seen bonding at Rohit Dhawan's wedding party. They were also spotted together in Los Angeles last week. Apart from that, they also start shooting for Ayan Mukerji's film in Nainital in March. So there is enough work to be discussed.

"Also, post her break-up Deepika has been quite lonely and she has always maintained that Ranbir's one of the people who know her the most."

Well, there is little reason for them to not give it another shot. Dippy is single. Ranbir has never admitted to any relationship apart from the one with her. And apart from the 'cheating' bit she accused him of, they've had a rather amicable relationship. However, there were also recent reports on how Ranbir is now back with Katrina Kaif.

Adds the source, "Katrina and Ranbir were seeing each other for a while, but then nothing really worked out. They did not meet each other for months together as both got busy with their projects. Ranbir was a little commitment phobic then that doesn't seem to have changed."

Despite being linked with numerous women including Nargis Fakhri, Ranbir has always kept in touch with Deepika, and made himself available whenever she needed him.

In an interview to Mid-Day (as reported in HitList, October 18, 2012) Ranbir said, "Deepika has been a part of my life when I was growing up and we shared a beautiful relationship. I wouldn't like to stay away from her because we are not together."

Deepika too has been quoted saying, "We will always be friends."

Are they thinking of taking it to another level? Says the source, "He has even visited her at her new apartment. Plus they know each other very closely.

"So there is little surprise that she is leaning on him at this point."

Ranbir's spokesperson however blatantly denied the story. Deepika and Ranbir were unavailable for comment.
