Is John secretly dating Deepika?

Mumbai, April 21: If filmmakers turned the cameras to capture the behind-the-scenes at film sets, they would be guaranteed blockbuster hits. After all it’s the film sets that go on to define Bollywood’s friendships and fallouts.

This time around, Rohit Dhawan’s Desi Boyz has given John Abraham and Deepika Padukone an opportunity to bond.

Shooting for a song for more than half a day in Brighton, London, has seemed to have blossomed the new friendship.Of course the inevitable whispers of something more than “just friendship” brewing between the two has been abuzz in the industry.

A source tells us, “John’s camaraderie with Deepika has been the talk of the industry. Both appeared extremely comfortable, in each other’s company in London.”

Reiterating popular sentiments, the source added, “One never expected John and Deepika to bond with each other and that too so soon. But it has happened.”

When asked about Deepika, John said, “She’s sweet and professional.” We wonder if her beau Siddartha Mallya will also think of this ‘new friendship’ as a sweet and professional one, especially since he has been spotted alone at quite a few matches of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, at the on-going IPL tournament.

While Deepika remained unavailable for comment, a friend of hers called to defend her. She told us, “How can she come down for all the matches to be with Siddhartha, when she was shooting for Desi Boyz in London, during that time?” Ironically, Deepika, who has publicly moved around with Siddhartha, has never confirmed her relationship with him till date.
