Padukone has been hogging limelight ever since news about her raunchy dance number on the classic song ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ and it has been termed as the raunchiest track of Tinsel Town.

Even though the song has gathered both good and bad reviews, her former lover was left gasping after seeing her hot video and is impressed beyond words by her splendid performance.

Tabloids report that Ranbir has candidly talked about liking Deepika in the song and praised his ex-girlfriend openly in front of the media.

An insider source said, “He has been raving about her in the song, and he even sent her a message.”

Ranbir bowled over by Deepika's item
Confirming that Ranbir did compliment her, Deepika said that he did tell her that he liked her video.

Without divulging any more about her talk with the younger Kapoor lad, she said, “Now, I'm not going to share that with you right?”

The couple has not ignored each other even after splitting and still greets each other cordially whenever they see each other.

Then and now..
Ever since the new ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ track came out on television, it is being touted to be the next ‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’, but there is a section of audience who is rather not impressed with the lyrics of the song.

Lyricist Jaideep Sahni, who is behind the lyrics of the song, has also received a lot of criticism.

The song goes like this, "Aaj aankh sek raha hai, kal haath sekega; Aaj dheel chhod raha hai, kal khudi rokega; Aaj mere liye chair kheech raha hai, kal meri skirt kheechega…"

"Cheesy item numbers are routine stuff in Hindi films. But jargon such as 'potty pe baithe nanga' is in bad taste. Are words like 'kal meri skirt kheechega ' seriously meant to sound 'cool'? I love item songs but this one just won't make the cut," said Jeet Pramanik, an avid music lover from Gurgaon.

Well, we can only say that Deepika is the only good thing about the new song.
