Who knows what's cooking between them, but Sidhartha Mallya seems to be close enough to actress Deepika Padukone to ask her to bake a cake for him!

"Bake me a cake, " Sidharth, the son of liquor baron Vijay Mallya, posted to Deepika on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The request came soon after the 24-year-old actress posted a picture of an oven and wrote: "Love this old fashioned industrial oven... Reminds me of the days when I would come back from school and bake chocolate cake for my mum!"

The two are rumoured to be dating each other and have been spotted together on several occasions.
