Deepika Padukone is rumoured to be dating Ranveer Singh but some reports that suggested the actress was in a relationship with Novak Djokovic have caused damage to the ace tennis player's relationship with his wife.

One of Djokovic's former girlfriends is said to have hinted that he had an affair with Deepika. Reports also claim that all is not well between the tennis star and his wife Jelena, and the reason is apparently the multiple affairs that Djokovic indulged in.

Deepika's name has also come up as one of his former girlfriends. Daily Mail reported that Djokovic's ex-lady love Lidija Popovic recently said that he would be happier dating Deepika than being with his wife.

Rumours of Deepika's affair with the popular sportsman had made headlines when the two were spotted together in March 2016 at a bar in Los Angeles, and then leaving the venue in the same car. Although Djokovic had then claimed Deepika to be his wife's friend, gossip mongers could smell something was fishy.

The report also mentioned about other rumoured affairs of Djokovic that have reportedly been the cause for his marriage falling apart. Apart from Deepika, his name had been associated with a lawyer from Ukraine and also Serbian pop star Natasa Bekvalac, among others.

At a time when the tennis master is expecting his second child with his wife, these reports certainly will not be appreciated by Djokovic and his wife. On the other side, rumours of Deepika and Ranveer's affair are not a new thing now.

Although neither of them ever admitted to being in a relationship, they never shy away from expressing their fondness for each other publicly.
