You may call it an irony of fate. Finally, when Neetu Kapoor started to develop a fondness for Deepika Padukone, her son Ranbir Kapoor is having a tough time keeping his love affair afloat with the dusky beauty.We hear the young couple are having endless tiffs these days sparking unsavoury rumours of an impending break-up.After one such recent showdown, Ranbir looked as if he had had enough. The couple did not attend Karan Johar’s fashion show after their spat, but were seen together later that evening at designer Shabina Khan’s bash.According to sources, looking at their faces one could easily detect the stress in their relationship. Deepika feels Ranbir is not committed to her. Confirming the news, a tabloid quoted a source as saying: “Everyone knows Neetu never really approved of Deepika for her son even though Ranbir tried, and succeeded, to a large extent, to make his mum thaw towards his girl. Deepika somewhere felt Ranbir wasn’t making a commitment to her, even though she was fully committed to the relationship because he was waiting for mummy’s approval.Everyone around them is wondering if this is the beginning of the end.But a friend of the actress said: “They are together. Fights happen in every relationship. This is the eighth time that everyone has been convinced they are heading for a split. But it’s fine. They’ve patched up.”Meanwhile, when the team of Karthik Calling Karthik told Deepika she needed to smoke for her role in the film, the actress was afraid of getting addicted to cigarettes.
But thanks to producer Ritesh Sidhwani’s thinking, they shot for the scenes with organic cigarettes.In the movie, Deepika plays a modern girl, who smokes but eventually quits.Talking about the issue, Sidhwani said: “It’s a film about a lovable loser and a modern, hip girl, who eventually quits smoking. So, we have a nice message in the end.”
