Last month, when he shifted out of his former love nest in Malad to a new pad in Bandra, Kriti was invited to the housewarming party. They are apparently spending a lot of time together at his house. Reports of the two holidaying in Bangkok then surfaced, but they denied it outright. Kriti claimed to be spending time with her sister in Mumbai while Sushant labelled stories of their alleged romance as "entertaining but fictional".

The rumours, however, continue to keep the grapevine buzzing. "Sushant and Kriti were signed on as a fresh pair and their on-screen chemistry is great. But their film's release is a long way off — February 2017. If they are going to be featured in the media every other day, the curiosity and novelty surrounding the pairing will wear off in no time. So, the makers have advised them to take it slow," adds the source.
