Ranbir
Kapoor
has
decided
to
give
up
smoking
as
a
b'day
gift
to
girlfriend
Deepika.
Deepika
Padukone
couldn't
have
had
a
better
beginning
to
2009
and
her
birthday
yesterday.
A
source
close
to
Deepika
says,
"Deepika
didn't
like
Ranbir's
smoking
habit.
As
an
advance
birthday
gift,
he
promised
her
that
he
would
give
up
smoking
for
her.
From
January
1
this
year,
after
being
a
smoker
for
years,
Ranbir
has
completely
quit
smoking.
Lots
of
people
tried
to
make
him
quit
but
they
didn't
succeed.
Now
he
has
given
it
up
for
Deepika." The
actress
is
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
Kapoor
lad
has
not
lighted
up
in
the
last
five
days."
The
source
continues,
"The
best
thing
is
that
she
never
nagged
him
about
smoking.
She
accepted
him
the
way
he
was
but
Ranbir
realised
that
she
didn't
like
his
habit,
as
she
was
always
uncomfortable
when
he
smoked
around
her.
So
he
made
a
resolution
to
quit.
It's
a
big
decision
for
him
and
even
his
mom
(Neetu
Kapoor)
doesn't
know
that
her
son
has
kicked
the
butt."
When
quizzed
about
being
together
Deepika
says,
"I
don't
like
talking
about
my
personal
life.
All
I
will
say
is
that
Ranbir
keeps
me
very
happy
and
secure."
Deepika
had
a
quiet
birthday
with
her
parents
yesterday.
She
went
to
Siddhivinayak
Temple
followed
by
a
quiet
dinner
with
boyfriend
Ranbir
in
the
evening.
"My
parents
and
sister
were
with
me
last
week
during
Christmas
and
New
Year's
but
my
sister
had
to
attend
a
tournament,
so
she
flew
off
on
Saturday.
I
never
like
celebrating
my
birthdays
much.
But
I
do
make
it
a
point
to
go
to
Siddhivinayak.
It's
been
a
great
year
for
me
and
2009
looks
even
more
promising.
She
adds,
"It's
been
a
wonderful
birthday
this
year.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
two
better
gifts.
Also
I
am
leaving
for
the
premieres
of
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
all
over
the
world.
Nikhil
Advani
has
taken
the
film
to
a
whole
new
level.
The
most
exciting
thing
is
that
the
film
will
be
premiered
at
the
Warner
Brothers
Village
in
Los
Angeles."
