Mumbai: They were once very much in love and the most happening couple in the Tinsel Town. But now, the two have moved on and have decided to remain friends. Ex-couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are gearing up to set the silver screen ablaze with their sizzling chemistry in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’. But here’s something beyond their reel space. Buzz has it that the dimpled and dusky beauty has decided to skip the promotion of ‘YJHD’ in London as Katrina Kaif will be in the city along with her family. Since Katrina is rumoured to be dating Deepika’s ex, Ranbir Kapoor, Ms Padukone wants to avoid a face-off with Kat in the British capital. Therefore, she had to take the decision to cancel her London trip. But Katrina may not be the only reason for Deepika to give the London trip a miss. The actress also needs to complete Rohit Shetty’s film ‘Chennai Express’ starring Shah Rukh Khan. Deepika’s ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ is slated to release 31 May, while ‘Chennai Express’ is scheduled to release this Eid which falls on August 8.
