A source says, "He is known to wear his heart on his sleeve and has given many hints about his feelings for her in many of his interviews. Last year, the actress had asked him to calm down and not to speak about their affair in public. Since then, he has pursed his lips and refers to her only as a good friend. But from the time the actress got busy with another project, trouble started brewing between them."
Rumours about the actress getting overfriendly with another co-star didn't go down well with him. A source says, "She was not spending enough time with him and was too occupied with the promotions of her last film. Their close friends are privy to their fights. The actor was visibly upset and had distanced himself from everyone for a while.
He also lived alone for some time to cope with his relationship issues. However, they seem to have ironed out the creases now. He is back to his normal self and is hanging out with the actress like they used to earlier."
