Though, Bipasha has shunned all rumours about a cold war boiling up between her and Deepika Padukone, it looks like it’s going to take much more than mere denials for the two ladies to prove that all is well.
According to sources, the Bong bombshell and sultry Deepika Padukone just don’t see eye-to-eye and prefer sticking to a minimal courtesy conversation routine. Wonder why?
Apparently Bipasha simply seems to be bowled over by the charms of Bollywood’s light-eyed boy Ranbir, as the lady just can’t stop raving about the young actor. And the trouble is that this mushy ‘goody goody’ talk about Ranbir by Bips is not being taken in the best of spirits by Dips.
Story goes that it all stared on the sets of a reality show where Bips and Dips were to accompany Ranbir as part of promotions for their forthcoming film ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, which also stars Minissha Lamba.
Things got ugly when Bipasha showed up and learned that Deepika and Ranbir were going to make an entry and she would have follow later. Feeling cornered, Bips then demanded to make the grand entry with Ranbir
Ever since this ugly face off the two just don’t seem to gel well. But if sources are to be believed the cold war has been going on ever since the shooting of the film began.
An insider stated that Deepika and Bipasha were never friendly in the first place, while Dips and Minissha bonded right from the start.
What’s interesting is that the grapevine now has it that it’s Bipasha, who walks away with Ranbir in Bachna Ae Haseeno and not Deepika!
Hmm… suddenly all this triangular 'filmy' melodrama is making sense.

Bipasha’s mushy comments on Ranbir leave Dips fuming
No one ever called me sexy: Deepika
"I really didn't expect it. I'm really excited. People always used to call me either cute or pretty, but no one ever called me sexy. I take it as a compliment," Deepika said.
Although the young actress is flattered by the title, she did not feel even a tad embarrassed.
"There is nothing wrong in being called sexy. I think the term itself has been misunderstood. People think that a person is sexy only if she is wearing tiny clothes. But for me, being sexy is about being mysterious and having your own personality and certainly has nothing to do with a person's fashion sense," she held.
After being a top model, and coming up with a successful debut with super hit Om Shanti Om, Deepika has become a Bollywood star, but she says stardom hasn't affected her as her feet are firmly grounded.
"Stardom has not changed me. I believe I am the same person. I am too new in the industry. I like being in front of the camera and I love acting," said the 22-year-old.
"I'm very close to my parents and they handle my money. I even discuss my work with them every evening," added the actress.
While in Om Shanti Om Deepika shared screen space with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, she has been paired opposite real life beau Ranbir Kapoor in Bachna Ae Haseeno. The romantic drama also stars Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu and is being directed by Siddharth Anand.
In the film, Deepika plays an NRI girl called Gayatri.
"Gayatri is an independent girl who knows what she wants. She is focussed. She is modern as well as traditional in her thoughts. The role is very similar to the person I am."
The actress, who will be seen with Akshay Kumar in Chandni Chowk To China, says both she and Ranbir are focussing on their career and try to give as much space as possible to each other.
"Right now we are focussing on our career and what we are doing in front of the camera. At the end of the day, we are both actors. One plays a certain character in a film and so we cannot let possessiveness come in between. We have to understand each other."
Having already worked with big banners like Red Chillies Entertainment and Yash Raj Films, will Deepika stick to only big banners in future?
"I want to focus on commercial cinema as of now. But, if I find any offbeat film or a small production house with a good role, I would love to go for it," she said.
She has been roped in to play an important role in Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali's next venture.
