Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Avantika Malik
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, along with director Shakun Batra, dined at a Japanese restaurant in Bandra on Friday night. While exiting the venue, Dippy was spotted giving Imran Khan's estranged wife Avantika Malik a warm hug. The place is run by her brother, Vedant Malik, and Avantika is happy to spread cheer as the mixologist, having trained in it a few years ago.
Singh and Padukone, and the Maliks go back a long way. They have known each other for years. Over a decade ago, Dippy had teamed up with Imran in Danish Aslam's romantic comedy, Break Ke Baad (2010). Looks like old buddies were keen to catch up with each other over a meal.
