However, in 2011, at an award function, Siddharth was asked about the actress whose dressing sense is applaudable.

And while talking about his alleged girlfriend Deepika, he said that "She does not have a bad sense of style either."

Soon after this, Deepika and Siddharth's relationship came to a mysterious end. On the other end, Deepika's film career was back on track.
