Brande may be hot but when it comes to Indian babes, the competition just fizzles out automatically. Ditto is the case for Tara Sharma.

The 'Saya' lass made a disastrous debut with Anupam Kher's 'Om Jai Jagdeesh' but soon gained the ground with the Bhatt camp's latest offering. Despite its short length, she made her presence felt in a dead wife's role.

When last heard Tara was busy doing 'Mastee', Indra kumar's latest film, with Vivek Oberoi.

But when the arch-lights go off, Akshyae Khanna replaces Vivek and you can spot the duo at every happening place in the town.

The insiders claim that Tara's charm has surely cast its sayaa on this Bollywood's most eligible bachelor, who was reportedly smitten by Brande Rodrick for her 'out of control' acts.

Do you see the smoke coming out too?

"Not so soon!" exclaims the duo and add "We're just good friends." (ughh... so predictable)

One bit of advice for all of you. Whenever you spot the cute couple sharing cosy dinners or attending some party, tell them to come out with some different lines for denials because they are as beaten as the 'original' Bollywood plots.
