Actresses who have found love beyond Bollywood lines

Though Bollywood actresses have often been romantically involved with their co-stars, some of them have found their partners from non-filmi backgrounds

Blame it on good looks, long hours on the sets and the nature of work, the attraction between co-stars is, more often than not, too hot to handle. Many Bollywood actresses are prone to fall for actors or, at times, filmmakers. Even before they wrap up the shoot of their films, actors hit the headlines for their off-screen chemistry.

Asin is reportedly seeing Rahul Sharma, the founder and CEO of a mobile company. The actress was apparently introduced to him by a mutual friend sometime back and now Sharma is said to be the special someone in her life

However, like there are exceptions to every rule, some actresses do not like mixing their personal and professional lives. Instead, they prefer to find love outside the industry.

A case in point is actress Asin, who is said to be seeing Rahul Sharma, founder and executive director of Micromax. After her lavish birthday bash last year in October at a suburban five-star where Sharma was apparently a special guest, rumours about their friendship started doing the rounds. Asin apparently met Rahul through a common friend and since then, she has been spotted with him on several occasions.

Armaan is the son of architect Mohit and former model Feroze Gujral, both of whom are well known in the capital’s social circles.

Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma recently found herself in the eye of a storm following her cricketer beau Virat Kohli’s dismal performance in England. Cupid’s arrow reportedly struck the couple while they were filming for a shampoo ad. The cricketer then became a frequent visitor to her Versova home.

He is said to have even dropped in on the sets of her films – Bombay Velvet in Sri Lanka and NH10 in Rajasthan as well as Dil Dhadakne Do in Spain. Sources say that Anushka, too, stole time away from her shooting schedule, to be with Virat during the Indian team’s tour of New Zealand and recently, in England.

Geeta Basra
After acting in two films — Dil Diya Hai (2006) and The Train (2007) — her career did not take off, but she apparently began a fresh innings with cricketer, Harbhajan Singh.

Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh apparently bonded after meeting each other on the sets of a TV show 

The two are said to have bonded after they featured as celebrity participants on the TV show, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, in 2008. The two have apparently been together for a while now, but are yet to take their relationship to the next level.

Taapsee Pannu
Ever since the Chashme Baddoor actress was spotted at Delhi’s Siri Fort Sports Complex in April watching Danish badminton player Mathias Boe in action, it set tongues wagging about them being a couple.

Taapsee apparently met Boe, an Olympic silver medalist, during the Indian Badminton League last year. Though the sportsman has been transparent and even tweeted about knowing the actress, Taapsee has chosen to keep mum and seems focussed on her upcoming films, Running Shaadi.Com with Amit Sadh and Baby with Akshay Kumar.

Ileana D'Cruz
The Main Tera Hero actress has an Australian boyfriend, Andrew Kneebone, who is a photographer. Ileana prefers to stay low-key and not talk about the man in her life, despite the fact that she was spotted at an awards event with him last year.

Andrew has done a cameo in Ileana’s upcoming film, Happy Ending. The film’s makers decided to cast Kneebone, since he was anyway present on the sets during the final leg of the film’s shoot in Los Angeles.
