MID-DAY (March 18, 2016)

If sources are to be believed there is a love story that’s getting stronger by the day. Amidst stories of divorces and love tiffs, it is heartening to hear of a rumour that makes us want to believe in love again. The buzz is that Farhan Akhtar and Kalki Koechlin are dating each other. In fact, speculations are rife that the two plan to move in together soon. Looks like the duo is looking for second chance in love. Farhan recently separated from his wife of 16 years, Adhuna Bhabani and Kalki’s divorce from director Anurag Kashyap also came through last year — the couple ended their four-year-old marriage.

It may be recalled that there were speculations about Farhan’s growing closeness with his co-star in Wazir, Aditi Rao Hydari creating the final rift in his marriage with Adhuna. This rumour was further fuelled with the buzz that Aditi had temporarily separated from her partner of many years, actor Arunoday Singh. But now Aditi is said to be back with Arunoday, so all seems well on that front.

Farhan and Kalki are said to have first met on the sets of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) and hit it off well as friends. At that time there were stories of their growing closeness floating around, but soon after the movie’s shoot and promotions got over, the couple is said to have drifted apart. “Even though they didn’t have many chances to meet, the two kept in touch with each other because they got along really well on the sets of ZNMD. But now that Farhan is alone, they seem to have gotten back together not just as friends. They have been meeting each other since last couple of months,“ says a source.
