Shilpa Shetty`s latest romantic involvement with music composer Sandeep Chowta is the talk of tinsel town. Ever since the actress cried her heart out to him after her disastrous break-up with Akshay Kumar, the musician in him seems to have found his muse. He himself was recovering from a broken affair, having just wound up his seven-month affection for the Sushmita Sen and had only Ram Gopal Varma`s projects in hand.

With all the free time at his disposal, Sandeep offered his strong shoulder for the tall actress to lean on and before the two could realize, Cupid struck. Shilpa`s mother insists that the "boy is from our community" and that makes them depend on each other blindly.

But the recent glow on her face and their constant companionship, on and off the sets, has set tongues wagging. Close friends of the South Indian actress also insist that this time it`s for keeps. We too wish the same, Shilpa!
