Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor have remained good friends even after their break-up. After working together in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the duo has now teamed up for Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha. In fact, the dusky beauty and the Kapoor lad are in France shooting for the same project.

However, Ms Padukone has apparently been put in a different hotel while the rest of cast and crew members are staying at the same place. But the question is why? Is it coz DP wants to maintain safe distance from her ex-flame? Not exactly! Her staying in another hotel has got more to do with Katrina Kaif.

Rumours suggest that the Happy New Year wants to avoid bumping into Kat as she often drops by on the sets to meet Ranbir. So if Ms Kaif visits RK on the sets of Tamasha and if Deepika is there then the situation is bound to get awkward, no?

But apart from Katrina, there is one more reason why DP is staying in another hotel. While talking to a leading daily, a source said, “Deepika also wants a certain amount of privacy, in case her current beau Ranveer Singh drops by. Her private life has been under the scanner a little too much of late, and she wants to avoid any unpleasant or awkward situations that may provide further grist for the rumour mills.”

Though Dippy’s close aids have denied these reports wethinks its a wise move by the talented lass if in case its true. Coz that way Ranbir-Katrina and Deepika-Ranveer would able to spend quality time with each other without worrying about the ‘ex’ factor
