Gopika malkan dating with Ranveer

While it is rumoured that Ranveer Singh is dating his co-star in Band Baaja Baarat Anushka Sharma, very few are aware that he once had a steady girlfriend.

Ranveer was dating Gopika Malkan, who is a costume designer for films.

Says a source close to Ranveer, “Gopika and he were seeing each other for almost a year before he became an actor. Although it has been long since they parted ways, both Ranveer and Gopika still remain friends. They are cordial with each other whenever they meet.”

But Ranveer sure wasn’t expecting to meet his ex at the recently held Filmfare awards. Ranveer was red-faced when he suddenly ran into Gopika at the Awards ceremony, which was being held at Yash Raj Studio (Andheri) last Saturday.

This happened apparently when he was sharing a warm moment with his ‘close friend’ Anushka. However, Gopika handled the situation in a matured manner. “Both greeted each other cordially. It was an awkward moment but thankfully it was over very soon,” added the source.

“Throughout the show, both Ranveer and Gopika were very aware of each other’s presence in the hall. While Ranveer was nominated for Best Debutant, Gopika was nominated for Best Costume Designer for Udaan.

They are in the same industry and will keep bumping into each other more often,” said the source.

When contacted, Ranveer heard us out, and after a long pause said, “Gopika is just a friend. I did not meet her at the Filmfare Awards.”

Gopika also said that she was not present at the Filmfare Awards. “Ranveer is a very good friend but I was certainly not dating him,” she added.

However, an eyewitness confirmed that Gopika did attend the Filmfare Awards function. Repeated attempts to contact Gopika Malkan proved futile.
