A couple of days ago, it was reported that Ranveer Singh has saved alleged girlfriend Deepika Padukone’s number as 'Deepika Alternative' on his cell phone. As a result, there were stories doing the rounds that Ranveer has an alternative to Deepika!
However, in an interaction with Dailybhaskar, Singh cleared the controversy saying, “This is really silly. I have two numbers of Deepika. One I have saved it as Deepika and the other I have saved it as Deepika Alternative. It is as simple as that. How can this become news?”
In fact, Ranveer also says that he has saved Kill Dil co-star Parineeti’s number in the same fashion. He says, “I have saved one number of Parineeti as Parineeti while the other number is saved as Parineeti Alternative.”
After his explanation, Singh’s co-star Ali Zafar jumped into the conversation and quizzes him that why he didn’t save Deepika’s other number as Deepika 2? To which a naughty Ranveer replies, “Well, I don’t like writing 2 as 'Alternative' has a ring to it!”
With that response, we can surely understand how the journalists fell into the Deepika Alternative trap
