On Saturday night, Hrithik Roshan had Dubai's grapevine buzzing overtime, when close to Cinderella Hour (IST) he walked into a just-launched upscale restaurant, snazzy in an electric blue dinner jacket. He was immediately the cynosure of all eyes.

A few minutes later, Esha Gupta in silver stilettos and a short body-hugging dress which left her back sexy and bare, strolled in. And immediately the girl who was last seen romancing Saif Ali Khan in Sajid Khan's Humshakals, caught Hrithik's eye.

According to an eyewitness present on the scene, “As soon as Esha spotted Hrithik, she went up to him. The two had plenty to talk about and they soon retreated to a quiet corner. All eyes in the room kept turning in their direction but the two beautiful Bollywood actors were oblivious to all the attention. What surprised everyone around was that the two have never worked together, yet they seemed so comfortable with each other.“

The source pointed out that there were plenty of others celebrity guests around. Hotel heiress and reality TV headline-grabber Paris Hilton with her DJ sister Nicki was there, so was another reality TV star, Khloe Kardashan, glitzy in gold. Famous in gold. Famous lingerie models, Alessandra Ambrosio and Irina Shayk, also made heads turn along with singer Akon.

B-Town hunks included Zayed Khan, the brother of Hrithik's estranged wife Sussane, and his cousin Fardeen Khan.Also in attendance were good friends Dino Morea and Bobby Deol.Cricketer Yuvraj Singh also dropped by for sometime.

A spectacular performance by Cirque Eloize was the talk of the evening.... And so was Hrithik and Esha's bonding. Added the source, “The duo even left together, still chatting animatedly.“

We sent texts to Hrithik and Esha, but they chose not to respond.
