What's She Got To Hide?
Deepika Padukone is a gutsy gal who's known to wear her heart on her sleeve, so why is she shying away from admitting to her latest romance with Siddarth Mallaya? While Deepika's usually generous with her PDAs – well, she was with her ex Ranbir Kapoor – she seems adamant about keeping her hands off this time.
And whilst Ms Padukone is indulging in this drama just to spite Ranbir – her recent slating session about him on a celeb chat show proved that the love wound is still pretty raw – let's face it, infidelity isn't such a big deal in the big, bad world of B-wood, so why make such an issue of it? And seeing as how Kapoor's still 'single', it's strange that she's still crying foul.
Interestingly, just like the Kapoor lad, Sid is also known for his roving eye, but it looks like Deeps is prepared to bend her rules for her new boy.

Ash herself has revealed, "I've wanted to do this for a decade – now I'd better get my act together. There was so much happening that I had kept it on hold."

Sushmita Sen Bonds With Ex Beau

ushmita Sen and ad-filmmaker Manav Menon dated for a brief while and then separated five years ago. That was the last one heard about Manav and Sush.
They both moved on with their lives. Now suddenly years later, the duo seems to be in touch again.
Says a source close to Sush, "Manav is suddenly back in Sush's life, although one is not sure if he is just there as a friend, or more. Sush has always remained in touch with her ex-boyfriends – Vikram Bhatt, Sanjay Narang and Randeep Hooda. In fact, one of the reasons for her split from Manav was that he could not handle her closeness to Randeep. The split wasn't amicable like her other relationships, which is why it is surprising that they are back to being friends. Suddenly after five years, they are together and more than comfortable being in each other's company even in public."
