Deepika and her mother Ujjwala with Arjun Rampal |
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, who are known to have a short-lived affair in the past, came face-to-face at an award function held at suburban five star hotel on Sunday evening. The actors, who bagged awards for their debut performances in their respective films, were meant to sit together. However, they were clearly uncomfortable and refused to sit even close to each other. Our source, who was present at the function, says, "The organisers made seating arrangements in a way that the two sat together. However, Ranbir and Deepika did not sit together."
Deepika, who looked stunning in a red saree, came in early with her mother. Ranbir, who sported a back tuxedo, made a fashionably late entry with his parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. He was ushered in and as he moved closer to the seating area, he spotted Deepika. Soon thereafter, he moved to a different section and directed his parents to follow him. Our source adds, "Ranbir was moving towards his seat without realising that Deepika was very close to where he was asked to sit. But once he saw her, the Kapoors went a few seats away from Deepika."

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see how Ranbir and Deepika manage to work together in their next film under the Yash Raj banner. Deepika and Ranbir are set to start shooting for the film in Australia, next month.
