Every year Indian filmmaker Anurag Basu organises a Saraswati puja — an event to worship Hindu goddess of wisdom and knowledge — along with music director Pritam in his apartment. Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has been religiously attending the event since many years while his ex-flame actress Katrina Kaif has been attending since past three years. But this year it was only the latter that was present at the event while Ranbir was missing.

‘It’s a grand affair with Anurag and Pritam preparing the bhog (feast) themselves. RK’s been a regular for some years at this event while his ex Katrina Kaif attending it three years ago when the couple was dating. With her solo appearance at Anurag’s puja this year, it sparked off speculation whether Ranbir was deliberately avoiding his ex,’ reports deccanchronicle.com.

If media reports are to be believed, Ranbir was trying to avoid Katrina at public events due to the discomfort they share after their break-up early last year.

But a source close to the actor refuted the news by saying, ‘However, the truth is, on this day, the actor was shooting for his Dutt biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani.’

Ranbir and Katrina will be next seen in Anurag Basu’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’.
