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.
