Renowned Indian businessman Vijay Mallaya's extremely famous son Sid Mallya has always been controversy's favorite child. But of lately there have been issues, which he felt were important to be addressed.

Hence, in an interview, Sid opened up about things important to him. A few days back when he was spotted partying with Freida Pinto at her birthday party, the two were linked to each other.

He was also blamed for Freida Pinto and Dev Patel's alleged break-up. He was not ready to take these accusations and chose to clear the air over the same.

"People party with their friends on their birthdays, and I happened to be in that group. There were five of us in the pictures, but I guess I was the only one deemed newsworthy. When the story broke in the UK, they all wrote just about her having a good time. Then, journalists in India saw the pictures and said, 'Hang on, we know that guy.' Suddenly, there were rumours of us dating. It's absurd," he said.

However he does confirm that he did date Deepika Padukone but refuted the other link ups.

"Yes, we were dating, and I'm still in touch with Deepika. There were also rumours about Anushka Sharma and I being in a relationship. I swear I've met her only twice, and that too, at parties that I attended with Deepika. There was also a link-up with Sonam Kapoor at one point; and something about Priyanka Chopra looking for a house in town, and me apparently helping her find one. I can categorically tell you that apart from Deepizzle (sic), I didn't date anyone," he confirmed.
