Deepika missed music launch of Dum Maaro Dum!, deepika padukone missed music launch of dum maaro dum, Dum Maaro Dum music launch at Nagpur Vidarbh

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has missed the music launch ceremony of her next coming movie Dum Maaro Dum at Nagpur’s Vidarbh Cricket Ground stadium.

While, the entire cast of the film attended the music launch of the movie at stadium the match between India and South Africa took place there.

According to the reports, Deepika was not able to attend the event. Reports say that, it was filmmaker Rohan Sippy’s plan to launch the music of the film in an innovative way in the midst of the match on this platform.

An elated Bipasha Basu, the lead actress of the film stated “I am in Nagpur for the India v/s South Africa match. The whole Dum Maaro Dum team is here for the music release. The audio will be launched between the innings. It’s an exciting day ahead!”

Deepika Padukone, who will be seen in a raunchy item number in the film, will miss the music launch of the film as she is flying to Thailand to attend the wedding of one of her close friend’s.

A source close to Deepika stated “In fact, she even changed her shooting schedule for Aarakshan a bit, and shot her parts before schedule so she could travel.”

Rohan Sippy added “We would have loved to have Deepika at the music launch as the title song is picturised on her and she looks sizzling in the song. Her fans would have been delighted to see her.”

Deepika was asked to smoke up, Deepika padukone says no to smoke, Deepika Padukone dum maro dum

Deepika Padukone was asked to smoke up before she started shooting for the Dum Maaro Dum song "to get into the mood."

But Dips flatly refused to do so. She felt it wasn't necessary to light up (which she considers a bad and unhealthy habit) to get into the groove. Her logic was that she could do it any which way being an actor. Her director Rohan Sippy confirms, "It is true that I had advised her to smoke up but she told me that she just won't do it. We understood her logic and did not push her." People are really pushing the buck when it comes to method acting, no?

Kat wants to marry Ranbir, Katrina wants to Marry Ranbir Kapoor

Katrina denies it but sources allege her insistence on a ring is the reason behind her spat with Ranbir

Some say that it's his alleged coziness to his Rockstar co-star Nargis that is causing issues between Kat and him.

But a rather reliable source also tells us that things are getting sour between Kat and him because the 27-year-old is not willing to marry Katrina who allegedly is insisting on having a rock on her finger.

A source tells us, "It was only incidental that Ranbir's fondness for Nargis increased recently. However, what has really distanced him from Katrina is her demand that they get married, by March 2012, if not December 2011. She clearly told him that they should tie the knot in a year's time."

Katrina on her end claims these rumours are tommyrot. "These rumours are embarrassing, ugly, a million miles from the truth, beyond fiction.

The so-called people close to me who are saying these things actually have no proximity to me Ranbir is a friend, but there is nothing beyond. So there is no question of my breaking up with him or asking for marriage."

Well, wedding bells were chiming in Kat's head some time ago, when in an interview she told Mumbai Mirror, on 25 Jan 2010 to be specific, that she wanted to get hitched in 2012.

However, the Rajneeti actor, who has been dating Kat for nearly two years, ever since they worked together on Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani, seems to be taken aback by her demands.

The source explains Ranbir's bewilderment, saying, "Well, he didn't know what to do. He explained to Katrina that marrying her in a year's time wouldn't be possible since he is too young. Ranbir doesn't want to pin himself down in life."

Think of it, Katrina was more demanding than Deepika in her relationship with Ranbir. While Deepika asked for commitment, Katrina asked for shaadi, claims our source.

Reconciliation between the two lovers is not ruled out, says our source. "It would be more apt to say that they have had a big fight at the moment, rather than to say that they have ended their relationship.

Katrina would love to get back with Ranbir, who also likes her very much. But he is certainly not thinking in terms of marriage with her at this point of time."

It may be recalled that Mumbai Mirror (November 3, 2009) was the first to tell you the real reason why Ranbir split with Deepika; Ranbir was not discreet about his less-than-innocent encounters with other women then. Maybe he knows himself too well to commit to something as serious as marriage...

Nargis causes Ranbir-Kat split, Ranbir Katrina split up due to Nargis, Ranbir kapoor and katrina split up, Nagris made Ranbir Katrina to Split up

Last week, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif split-up and the reason for their separation is said to be Ranbir’s ‘Rockstar’ actress Nargis Fakiri. Ranbir is taking too much interest on Nargis which did not go well with Kat. She is also miffed with him that he does not give her enough time.

A source close to the couple throws light on the matter, "It wasn't a surprise for anyone. They had been arguing and fighting for over a month. When the new gal got in the frame, it only got worse. Kat was totally against him spending time with her. There were times when he was with Fakhri and wouldn't pick up Katrina's calls. He said they were meeting to see the film's rushes, but later she realised he was just making excuses to spend time with her."

Ranbir’s ex Deepika Padukone is also another reason for their break up. It is believed that director Ayan Mukherjee is keen to rope Deepika as Ranbir’s heroine for his next project and Katrina does not want her boyfriend to act with his ex-flame again.

After breaking up with Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif has given100% to her relationship and even went public about her relationship with Ranbir.

Well, Kat again proved unlucky in love.

Deepika's lover spotted with another girl, Siddharth Mallya spotted with Sophie

Sidhartha Mallya and Sophie Chaudhry made an entry together at Nandita Mahtani's fashion show? The singer-turned-actress seemed comfortable in the company of the Mallya scion. Of course, girlfriend Deepika Padukone, was many miles away. The actress is in Bhopal shooting for her film Aarakshan but that isn't an excuse for Sid to run free and escort other girls to parties, especially a siren like Sophie who is known to enjoy the company of young boys.

Remember her tryst with Bhushan Kumar and Jackky Bhagnani? Also note that Sid and Sophs were bonding at another party too recently, but Dippy was very much around at that time. Maybe there is nothing to worry about it, and it was just a couple of friends hanging out. Or perhaps the Bangalore lad is tired of his girlfriend denying his existence, and decided to jolt things up a bit. And who better to do it with, than with your buddy of over a decade.

Shriya replaces Deepika in Theenmaar, Shriya Saran in Theenmaar, Deepika padukone, Pawan Kalyan Theenmaar

There was a strong gossip that made rounds in Film Nagar circles that Jayant C Paranje had convinced Deepika Padukone to do a special song for his forthcoming film ‘Teennaar’, the remake of a Bollywood hit film ‘Love Aaj Kal’ with Pawan Kalyan, Trisha and Kriti Karbanda in the lead roles.

However, the producer had announced that there is no such proposal and declared that Shriya would shake her legs and hips for a special song. It appears that Shriya used her close association with the Mega family to bag the offer.

It is also learnt that Shriya had agreed to sport a micro mini dress for the song, wore by Deepika in Dum Maaro Dum item song in a film.

Katrina, Deepika won't speak up

...but that keeps the ball rolling

Times have changed. Once Ranbir Kapoor wore Deepika on his arm, and she got RK tattooed on the nape of her neck. It was cool to show off your boyfriend. And be open about the fact that you had one. Lara Dutta spoke well about Kelly Dorjee, and was more than open to answer questions about him. Shahid and Kareena were madly in love and spoke openly about their feelings, same with Saif, who smiled as the entire world gasped at his Kareena tattoo on his forearm.

But time has gone by, and flaunting a boyfriend just isn't cool anymore. At least, nobody from the Hindi film industry seems to be doing it. Ranbir, Katrina won't admit that they are a couple and actually 'dating'. Siddharth Mallya and Deepika Padukone are spotted together everywhere but they remain tight-lipped about their relationship status; So what if Shahid Kapoor was the one who opened Priyanka's house door for the IT-officials, that really doesn't make their relationship 'official'. Lara Dutta preferred to keep mum on her torrid affair with Dino Morea, and went public with her love for Mahesh Bhupathi only very late. Now, Vidya Balan won't speak about Siddharth Roy Kapoor. And the one common thing about all these actors are: they won't confirm it, but they won't deny it either.

Deepika Padukone is very firm about keeping her mouth shut. "You give the media one piece of information, and they want to know everything else. You tell them you are dating, next they want to know when you are getting married, and when will you plan babies. They enter the bedroom directly, and won't give you your privacy. It's extremely important that we talk only about what we think should be written. I made a mistake by talking about my personal life once, I doubt I'll do it ever again."

Lara Dutta was on a no 'personal questions please' spree for a very long time. A firend of the actor's tells us, "Maybe she was fighting her own battle at that time. Even speaking to the media puts tremendous amount of pressure, because everyone else, who is not even closely related to you is then judging you and governing what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing without having a clue of the real story."

Sonam Kapoor, too, made a statement, that she'll never go to the press with her 'love stories'. "My mum says it's crass," said Deepika on a talk show, "It's not dignified."

Priyanka Chopra questions the media back when she is questioned: "So are you and Shahid a couple?" PC: Did he tell you that? Did I tell you that? And the story goes on. Nobody will say a thing, but yes, they'll open doors for IT officials in their boxer shorts , go for long drives and dinner dates, and even lip-lock in public, like Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma did at Shahid Kapoor's birthday bash (which PC didn't attend!), but those lips will be sealed, so what if only by pressing against their better-halves'... We guess, the speculation just keeps them in the news. And they manage to have their cake and eat it, too!

Will Deepika annoy Dev again ?

Dev Anand won't take this lying down! Without saying anything directly to the evergreen actor, filmmaker Rohan Sippy is out to antagonise the Bollywood veteran, or so it seems.

News has just come in that the makers of Dum Maaro Dum have made their version of the famous song, picturised on Deepika Padukone. The line will read Not Your Daddy's Dum Maaro Dum." Rohan says, "We will be introducing the song as Not your Daddy's Dum Maaro Dum.

It is just in keeping with the brazen attitude of the song. And the fact that our DMD is meant for this generation. It may be better or worse than the original but it's for today."
