The rumours of Rift between Deepika & SLB are Baseless

The rumour mill has been abuzz that there's been misunderstandings between the National Award winning director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali & his favourite actress, Deepika Padukone. The rumours of rift further got aggravated when last week SLB hosted a party to celebrate his National Award win, and DP was missing from the scene, despite being in the country!

While the who's who of the industry attended the do, Deepika, who played the role of Mastani in Bhansali's hit film, Bajirao Mastani(2015), was conspicuous by her absence.

Now, as per reports in a daily, DP couldn't attend the party because she was in Mumbai only for six hours on that day. Though, the actress did meet Bhansali before the event. An insider said to the tabloid, "Deepika was one of the first people to congratulate Bhansali for the National Award. She is really happy for him. She had returned from Sri Lanka on the same day, and was in India only for a few hours before she flew off to Toronto, Canada, where she is shooting for her maiden Hollywood film. However, she still found the time to meet the filmmaker. They spent over an hour together."

Reportedly, in another development, the director and the actress may have been discussing another potential collaboration. "After working together on two successful films; Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, they have developed a good bond. Bhansali has always been fond of Deepika and has also been appreciative of her work. Whether there will be an announcement from them sometime soon, only time will tell," added the insider.

Sorry guys, all is well in SLB-DP's paradise!
