Twitter wants to believe that actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh will celebrate her birthday on Friday with a ring, nobody’s entirely convinced, says the NDTV.

At least, not until they hear it from Deepika and/or Ranveer. The couple—can we please just dispense with the rumoured?—will be spending the actress’ 32nd birthday in Sri Lanka where an engagement may or may not take place, reports India Today.

‘I’m desperate to believe this,’ read one response on Twitter—but not without confirmation from one or both potential engagees.

The sceptics of social media—now there’s a phrase we never thought we’d use—desperately want this rumour to be true, if only as a break from the relentless Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli headlines that continue to flood the Internet.

There is, of course, radio silence from Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh on their social media accounts. Deepika's most recent post, shared a day go, is this - she's been asked point blank in the comments if an engagement is in the offing, reports the NDTV.

Tomorrow will reveal all. Then again, maybe not given that Anushka and Virat managed to keep their engagement secret for a whole year until the Italian wedding last month.

Ring rumours aside, there may be some other good news on the Deepika-Ranveer front. A release date is expected to be announced soon for their film Padmavat, which has finally been passed by the Censor Board minus the letter 'i' in its title. The film formerly known as Padmavati was stalled last year after months of controversy and protests and now it seems that it might even release as early as this Republic Day weekend.
