Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone and business tycoon Vijay Mallya's son Siddharth are usual at parties and events, hand in hand or just together… However both of them would deny the world that they are not committed to each other. But now their hide-and-seek game is over as their relationship status has been confirmed by none other than English cricket player Kevin Pietersen.

Buzz goes that Kevin along with the couple had gone out for a lunch and what he posted on his micro-blogging site grabbed much attention from all. Quoted Kevin -"Just had a lovely lunch with @sidharthamallya & his girlfriend @deepikapadukone..

Thanks for picking up the bill Deepika.." Hmmm, that’s indeed a revelation; especially for the pair who has always shunned from answering questions regarding their relationship.

As a matter of fact Kevin is a part of the IPL team - Bangalore Royal Challengers - owned by the Mallyas.

Deepika maintained silence after a broken affair with Ranbir Kapoor. Later, Siddharth came on the scene, who accompanied her for most public events and both had kept making statements to media that they are ‘good friends’.
