Love story
How did the relationship rumors begin?
While neither Chadha nor Chopra ever publicly accepted their relationship, the rumors first started floating around when they were clicked together at a restaurant in March.
Though the media often asked them about each other, they only responded through furtive reactions and blushes.
Per some reports, they became friends while studying in the UK, and their families, too, have known each other well.
