Bollywood Bakwas

Actress Deepika Padukone was the centre of attention at the birthday party of cricketer Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday.

On December 12, Yuvi threw a party for family and friends at Mumbai’s J W Marriott Hotel. While many senior members of the Indian cricket team were absent, the bash did see the presence of Yuvi’s close friend Zaheer Khan, who, like Yuvi, is also known to have several friends in the film industry.

But one person who set many heads turning was Deepika Padukone, who has previously admitted to being “friends” with some cricketers.

The Om Shanti Om actress looked dazzling at the party and mingled with guests without any air of a celebrity.

Eyewitnesses say the body language between Deepika and Yuvi suggested that there was indeed something brewing between them.

At the party, Yuvi particularly seemed to be in a mood to celebrate after proving his detractors wrong about him being suited to the five-day format of cricket.

One person who was conspicuous by his absence at the party was Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
