Vaibhavi Merchant and Sanjay Leela Bhansali

A lot has been said, written and imagined about the relationship between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.

Both made veiled comments on the nature and status of the relationship, over the last few months. But now we hear that they are not a couple any more. Sanjay and Vaibhavi have realised that they are not meant for each other, after all.

According to industry insiders, Vaibhavi and Sanjay were attracted to each other during the making of Saawariya. Both of them decided to keep the relationship low profile, reportedly, because Sanjay wanted his mom Leela to give her consent before he took the relationship to the next level.

Our well-placed source from Bollywood tells us, "Vaibhavi and Sanjay were very fond of each other. Both respected each other a lot. Everything was fine and they wanted to take their relationship to a more meaningful level.

But then they both realised that a relationship between them was not meant to be. They both stepped back by mutual consent."

Vaibhavi told this paper, "I am still very fond of Sanjay. We are still great friends. I am a very shy girl. Even if I were in a relationship, I would never flaunt it by putting my arm around my boyfriend in public. I find that very fragmented and crafted."

And what is the status of the relationship now? Vaibhavi said, "There was this person (read Sanjay Leela Bhansali) I wanted to meet and get to know better. We met, but when we got to know each other better, we realised that we were two very strong individuals who were meant to be independent and better off as friends."

Is she upset? "Sanjay and I had hoped that something would work out between us. We gave it a try, but it didn't happen," Vaibhavi replied.

Bhansali, who is currently in Italy where his opera Padmavati is being staged, remained unavailable for comment.
