After singing paeans of praise for each other, Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha have brought an end to their mutual encomiums. Buzz has it that after his split with ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ co-star Anushka Sharma, courtesy Sonakshi, Ranveer has issued strict orders not to talk about his new friend Sonakshi.

Talking to a daily, a source revealed, “Ask Ranveer anything, and he’ll talk. He loves to be candid. This habit of his landed him trouble numerous times. This time, it’s Sonakshi who’s upset with him for speaking of her as being his good friend. She has told him to maintain a strict confidentiality about each other.” Though they are not officially dating, Ranveer and Sonakshi find each other very attractive and have been spotted together on numerous occasions. Of late, the duo have become very close to each other.

“Right now, Ranveer’s at a very crucial phase of his career. He cannot afford to talk about his preference for co-stars, feels Sonakshi. She has already made it clear that Ranveer is nothing, but her co-star and she wants him to do the same. Ranveer is quite keen to acquire a brand endorsement deal and is aware that his personal life at this point of time shouldn’t be his claim to fame,” said the source.

Apparently, Ranveer will evade any question on Sonakshi and makes sure that he refers to her as ‘just a co-star.’ “It’s a stand that both of them have taken just to douse the speculation about them. Ranveer will henceforth refer to Sonakshi as a colleague and not a ‘good friend’ which in Bollywood parlance has now come to mean that they are dating,” added the source.
