The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor may be more than just reel life lovers. It is believed that the couple are dating each other seriously, post their debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya.

If the reports are true, then Ranbir is just following in the footsteps of his father Rishi Kapoor, who fell head over heels in love with his first heroine Dimple Kapadia following their debut film Bobby. So it could be a case of history repeating itself. There was a huge buildup to the release of Saawariya, what with Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's son teaming up with Anil Kapoor's daughter. The curiosity factor was high and the young couple got a lot of attention. According to sources, the romance started during the making of the film, as both were single. Although Ranbir is reported to have had a fling with Deepika Padukone, it was short-lived. Apparently the two have continued dating each other even after the film's release. But it is believed that both sets of parents have asked them to be discreet about their relationship as they are afraid that it may adversely affect their careers.
