Siddhartha Mallya tones up for Deepika

Deepika Padukone has one of the best bods in town and it’s only fair that the men she squires at least strive for perfection.

Certainly, her newest beau, the young Siddhartha Mallya gets full marks for trying. The scion of the UB Group cut a podgy figure on the party circuit when he arrived from England over two years ago. "

But perhaps he didn’t have much incentive to lose flab. Until the arrival of luscious Deepika in his life.

The work-hard, party-hard Mallya junior who is said to be smitten by Deepika-one of his favourite requests at night clubs, we hear, is Uff teri adaa from Kartik calling Kartik — has been dieting hard and working out harder to match steps with his lady love.

At a recent appearance the two made for a striking couple.

On her part, Deepika who has been seen with Siddhartha at IPL matches and Formula One races, is only too willing to reciprocate his affection.

A certain Ranbir Kapoor is evidently a closed chapter.
