Ranbir’s on-and-off relationship with Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakri might be old news. But on Tuesday evening, the producer of Rockstar, Ashtavinayak Productions threw a party to celebrate the completion of the film. Apart from the cast and crew, a few other stars were invited. But the surprise guest at the party was Deepika Padukone.
“Deepika knew that the party was in honour of Rockstar, and if she wanted, she could have avoided attending it as she knew both Ranbir and Neetu were bound to be there. But she still chose to attend, proving that she is making the first move to patch up with Ranbir as he is touted as the next big star. She just wanted to cash in on the situation and ensure that they are on good terms,” says our source at the event.
However, Deepika’s smart strategy of being in Ranbir’s good books put her in a very awkward situation when she saw Neetu Kapoor publicly displaying her affection for her son’s new found friend, Nargis. Clearly, mamma Kapoor had two points to make. She was indicating her “approval” for Nargis and with the same stroke sending a message to Dippy, who she never ever warmed up to. “Deepika was very uncomfortable and didn’t know where to look,” says an eyewitness.
