Bollywood is abuzz with the news that the ultra-elegant Deepika Padukone and the son of a money-magnet, Siddhartha Mallya, are no more an item. Yes, the pair which had been going out for a couple of years has parted ways, or so it seems.

Those who know the two high-profile individuals say it may not be official, but of late they have not been seen together on important occasions, which is unusual because both would not miss each other’s company for the world. The first big indicator of the breakup was witnessed when Siddhartha threw a lavish New Year party and Deepika P was missing from the bash.
