“We are just good friends,” says many a jodi (would-be, though) in Tellywood. The whole world is talking about the Rajeev Khandelwal and Aamna Sharif romance except for the two. In spite of the fact that Rajeev left the show, which brought them together ? Kahiin To Hoga ? the pair continues to remain close. Whether the two will actually end up together is another story altogether as at the moment they are in vehement denial mode of an affair.

The same goes For the- on-and-off pairing of Mona Singh and Karan Oberoi, costars in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. At times they talk about their affection for each other and at other times they choose to ignore each other in parties. Guess it’s up to their mood swings.

Then there is the other genre of couples who have no hang-ups about their PDA (Public Display of Affection). Like the energetic young couple, Amit Sadh and Neeru Bajwa (who met on the sets of Guns and Roses on Star One), have postponed their marriage but are supporting each other to start on a film career. He has already started calling Neeru ‘his wife’. And why not? The bond between them appears to be strong enough, after all.

another couple rock-ing the city is actor Manoj Bohra (bratty Prem of Kasautii Zindagii Kay) and Channel V VJ Teejay Sidhu who was raised in Canada. But these, too, did not meet at any party as would be the usual guess. “We first met in the church and hit it off by and by,” says Manoj. The couple who has also got approval from their parents are now doing a play together, Playing Crazy About Love, and an upcoming game show, Jodi Kamaal Ki. “This is an industry where people work late and there is a lot of insecurity, too. Which is why it is very good if

a couple is from the same profession.” Kamaal ki baat!

AND there is actor Manoj Biddvai and senior actor Rajendra Gupta’s daughter Raavi Gupta who also add colour to a lot of Page 3 dos. The other dynamic duo who socialise a lot are Hiten Paintal ? actor Paintal’s son ? and actress Kishwar Merchant, the Avantika chachi of KkavyAnjali.

A very interesting older older woman-younger man pair is that of Tanaaz Currim and Bhaktiyar Iraani. Tanaaz was married to Farid Currim in the past and also has a teenage daughter. After her divorce she was seeing a pilot, but seems she was meant to fly into the arms of another TV actor. She met Bhaktiyar ? who also happens to be actress Delnaaz Paul’s brother ? on the sets of Celebrity Fame Gurukul and the two have been inseparable ever since.
