Mumbai tabloids are claiming Lara Dutta has split up with boyfriend Dino Morea because his growing proximity to his old flame designer Nandita Mahtani.

But when we met Lara yesterday at the launch event of a new mobile company she played down the break up news.

She claimed that she is not upset about the press reports that suggest her break up with Dino. She said, "Why should I be upset if someone is writing something about me and earning his livelihood?"

When continued probing further about the break confirmation, she replied, "I don't want to comment. I have always stayed away from talking about my personal issues in the media and today too, I will not talk about them."

One can recall Lara and Dino entering into a relationship over a year back after she split with her boyfriend of 8 years Kelly Dorji.

Kelly had recently claimed in an interview to a film glossy that his once good pal Dino had backstabbed him by lying to him about his affair on the sly with Lara.
