According to the sources, the sparks between the actors started flying since they performed at IIFA awards held in Toronto. But as Ranveer Singh was still in relationship with Anushka Sharma at that time, the couple remained friends and kept in close touch.

Now that Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma are episode of past and Ranveer Singh is a free man, the couple have started making public appearances.

"Ranveer started feeling suffocated with Anushka. She was getting too possessive about him. A point came when he couldn't take it anymore,” said a source close to Ranveer.

"Sparks have been flying between Ranveer and Sonakshi. And now it's a fully blown affair. They do not even have qualms about going out in public together," added the source.

When contacted Ranveer Singh of the same, he replied, “Sonakshi and I have been acquainted recently through our professional interactions and brief meetings at formal events. She is a warm and friendly person. I am not dating anybody at the moment."
