Up close with Deepika's Ranbir tattoo; Sussanne erases Hrithik link

• Lifestyle Correspondent

When love was at its peak, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone tattooed Ranbir Kapoor's name (RK) on the nape of her neck and even after separation, the long legged actress did not erase it.

When in love she inked it to declare her commitment. Media loved her attitude and she displayed it with grace. Her heart break and Ranbir's infidelity received equal space in black and white.

But Deepika continues to wear the tattoo proudly, more so as a symbol of betrayal of trust.

During the first trailer launch of 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' Deepika was stumped by an unexpected question from media regarding her 'RK' tattoo.

Ex-boyfriend and co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who was upset over the question, came to her rescue and chose to answer on her behalf.

Love might have erased from Deepika and Ranbir's life due to Katrina Kaif's entry but they are still maintaining a great professional relationship. This year the duo delivered a blockbuster Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and set an example that ex-lovers can be a good on-screen pair.

Five years later after heart-break, she still has the tattoo - despite some reports that she was going to have it removed - and the cameras got a good look at it, up close and personal, at the recently held IIFA Awards.

We say what's the big deal; she needn't remove it for anyone but herself.

But then Sussanne Roshan decided to take a different route.

Hrithik and Sussanne had identical tattoos but with them parting ways, the latter no longer wants anything in common with her estranged husband.

Both of them had inked their forearm with the six-point star, aka Solomon's Seal The Star of David or Creator's Star which is symbolic of interaction of the divine with the mortal.

After their split, Sussanne recently got hers redesigned by adding the words 'Follow your sunshine' inked just before the star.

However, Hrithik plans to keep both his tattoos " the star and her name inked on the underside of his wrist " unaltered. It is said that he very much wants his wife back in his life.
