Deepika
Padukone
has
made
it
clear
that
she
is
more
than
a
friend
to
the
Indian
cricketer
Yuvraj
Singh.
The
Om
Shanti
Om
actress
was
spotted
in
the
stands
of
the
Sydney
Cricket
Ground
cheering
the
swashbuckling
southpaw.
Deepika
is
in
Sydney
to
shoot
for
the
Yash
Raj
Films
next
movie
where
she
co-stars
with
one
time
beau
Ranbir
Kapoor.
The
actress
however
reached
Sydney
two
days
in
advance
to
celebrate
her
22nd
birthday
with
her
new
found
love.
There
are
rumours
doing
the
rounds
that
the
two
are
planning
to
tie
the
knot
in
two
years.
Sources
close
to
the
two
say
that
the
two
are
pretty
comfortable
in
each
others
company.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
Yuvi
has
been
involved
with
a
Bollywood
actress.
He
had
been
in
a
short
lived
affair
with
Kim
Sharma.
Yuvi
and
Deepika
were
seen
hanging
out
at
a
restaurant
late
at
night
during
the
course
of
the
test
match
and
this
reflected
in
the
performance
of
the
left
hander
who
was
out
for
12
and
0
respectively.
This
is
not
the
first
time
the
two
have
been
spotted
together.
In
December
Deepika
had
organised
a
birthday
party
for
Yuvi
and
the
two
were
seen
dancing
to
the
tunes.
Earlier
Deepika
was
also
linked
to
the
Indian
one
day
captain
M
S
Dhoni
during
the
Australia's
tour
of
India
in
October.
She
even
watched
the
T20
match
in
Mumbai
on
Dhoni's
invitation.
However
Dhoni's
small
town
charm
may
not
have
been
enough
for
Deepika
who
has
been
bowled
by
the
flamboyant
Yuvraj
Singh.
