March 13, 2008 (Celebmagic.blogspot.com) - Following Ranbir Kapoor's admission to the press that he and Deepika Padukone are an item, Deepika has now opened up saying, "We have no qualms in telling the world that we are in love."

"So sorry as the media will not have gossip to write about me anymore," she added tongue-in-cheek, sounding rather naïve to us. We don't think the girl knows Mumbai's tabloid press well enough!

In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Deepkia confirmed that she and Ranbir fell in love while on the set of Bachna Ae Haseenon in Australia earlier this year.

But she was tight lipped about the exact nature of her relationship with cricketer Yuvraj Singh, and the circumstances under which it ended.

"I don't want to talk about that. If two people are spending time together and having dinner in a restaurant, why does it make front page news?" she said, subtly hinting at what may have happened.

"I am not commenting on my past. I am very happy right now in my relationship with Ranbir," she continued.

Life has changed for Deepika following her impressive debut in Om Shanti Om.

Her modest ambitions earlier included becoming a world famous model and an interior designer, before settling down to a life of marital bliss.

Having made it big in Bollywood there is no looking back now. She has relocated from Bangalore to Mumbai where she recently bought her own home in Bandra

The 22-year-old is currently on the set of her third film. Chandni Chowk to China, in which she plays lead opposite Akshay Kumar.

She is currently learning jujitsu from a Chinese trainer for her role in the action oriented comedy film inspired by the life of Akshay.
