Tales of their romance kept gossip mills busy for a large part of 2015 and after the guy in question separated from his wife of a few months, it was expected that he and his reel-turned-real love interest would finally stop playing coy. However, when reports of their break-up started doing the rounds recently, many went into a tizzy, but industry folk knew better than to believe them.
Says an industry source, "They have not split. It is all a ruse to make people stop talking about their affair, although it has greatly helped their upcoming film garner publicity. They are, in fact, contemplating taking their relationship to the next level."
The alleged couple has, so far, refrained from talking about their link-up rumours, which includes reports of them staying together. The actor, during a recent event, claimed to be single while his co-star deftly dodged questions about their relationship status. Now, they are not promoting their film together in a bid to let the dating buzz settle down. "They are completely into each other and are keen to formalise their relationship. But they will have to wait until he is divorced," adds the source.
