Ranveer skipped an event to 'avoid' Deepika and after this stories of their sour relationship started doing the rounds. The 'Bajirao Mastani' actor who is known for his quirky style statements didn't attend a style award night because Deepika was present there. Wait, stop! Before you go a mile extra in your imagination, let us clear the air. The handsome actor skipped the award ceremony not because of differences with the ladylove but due to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Shocked?

As per a report in Spotboye.com, it is a stern order from Bhansali that Deepika and Ranbir should avoid being clicked together till Padmavati's promotions. It seems the ace director has become more cautious after vandalism row. Earlier this year, a self-proclaimed vigilantes of Rajput dignity, 'Rajput Karni Sena' attacked the sets of Padmavati and assaulted Bhansali for allegedly manipulating the history.
