Katrina-Ranbir split! Is Deepika to blame?

DHAKA: On-off couple Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif has finally pulled the plug on their relationship.

The breakup happened when Katrina left for the London schedule of her film with Shah Rukh Khan.

The split isn’t exactly amicable, and the two have decided to maintain distance from each other, reports The Times of India.

An insider reveals, trouble has been brewing in the relationship for the last few months and distance just made things worse.

Katrina was on a long London schedule, while Ranbir was busy shooting for Barfi in Darjeeling. Apart from this, there was the Deepika Padukone factor.

RK has been shooting with his Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani co-star, and they are said to have rekindled their romance.

It is too early to say if they are indeed back together but they have been spending time together, and not just on the sets. Ranbir and Dippy were spotted coming out of a five-star last week.

They’d remained friends after the split, so this could’ve been innocent but reports of their proximity reached Kat in London and it made matters worse.

The distance between the lovers and the renewed friendship with Deepika put immense strain on their relationship.

Kat would get to hear of RK and DP spending time off set and that naturally upset her.

Recalling an incident in London the source adds, ‘They would constantly argue over the phone. Kat was quite low during the entire schedule, but found solace in her family. She met her mom and sisters and confided in them.’
