Initially Lara tried to brush off the Italian but apparently after he offered to be just friends she started responding. This makes the dorjee-lara split a passé and makes this new man in her life our epi-center of interest.
The grapevine has it that and they are regularly in touch with each other.
Kelly is not aware Italian suitor apparently.
Lara had met him during a trip to London for a charity show. She had specially allotted time for him and met him for dinner.
Eventhough a close friend of Lara assumes him to be just a friend yet we will keep an eye on this one. After all bollywood romance always begins with "just good friends".
