We really wonder if we could ever understand what our starlets are actually up to. `Band Baaja Baarat` sensation Ranveer Singh and `Dabangg` beauty Sonakshi Sinha seem to be working on a new tactic to avoid media attention on their alleged fondness for each other.

Recently at the launch of their forthcoming flick `Lootere`, the two behaved as if they were of no consequence to each other. Their indifferent behaviour was so apparent that everyone preset at the event could notice it.

Talking to a daily, a source said, “The way Sonakshi and Ranveer have been raving about each other, one expected sparks to fly between the two. But the chemistry was missing. On the contrary they were quite aloof backstage and kept to themselves."

During the media interaction the irritability between the two was so also pretty obvious. Every time Sonakshi was asked to wait for Ranveer to come and join the meet, she fuzzed and Ranveer gave moody one word answers for everything that was asked.

Reportedly, Sona has issues with Ranveer’s extrovert nature and she now wants to maintain good distance from him.

However, when quizzed about her strange behaviour during the event, junior Shotgun was prompt enough to give a sharp response. She said, “Yes, that`s why I am working with him." Ranveer also strongly denied such claims. "I share an entirely professional relationship with Sonakshi," he said.

And to make thing even more confusing, a source from the production company said, “They are quite fond of each other, but they were purposely keeping a distance to avoid further speculation.”
