It was inevitable. Long distance relationships are hard to maintain. After all, the dimpled doll Deepika Padukone is now a Hollywood star and is sometimes away from her homeland India, which creates difficulties in staying in touch, literally, with her boyfriend Ranveer Singh. This is one of the reasons for their alleged breakup.

Perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye, because on Holi Deepika P posted a picture of her Balam Pichkari days with Ranbir Kapoor on Instagram.

Mind you, she’s also done a Holi song with Ranveer S, but didn’t post that one. So, news is that the two have parted ways.

That being said, in showbiz no one slams shut the door on anyone. At least, not before marriage!
