The actor-director is known to get extra-friendly with women after a few drinks

He is an actor-turned-director who belongs to a known filmi family. He has not had a great career in films, but his personal life seems to be catching everyone's attention.

The much-married filmmaker is apparently a ladies' man, especially after he has had a drink too many.

A source says, 'He doesn't attend too many parties but when he does go for one, he is known to get high. After a few drinks, he tends to get friendly with actresses. In the past, he has been seen leaving parties with different women. Once in the span of half an hour, he approached a dusky actress and asked her to come along with him and after his return, he chose to walk out with another actress.'

He is known to give these women work in his films or recommend them to other filmmakers as well.

The source adds, 'Recently, an upcoming actress got friendly with him and she started spending lot of time with him. Thanks to her proximity with him, she bagged a prestigious project and she travelled with him to various cities. She doesn't belong to a filmi family and doesn't boast of such a clout, so she has been trying to win favour with him.

The source continues, 'When she hosted a party recently, she personally called up all his family members to invite them over for the bash. Not surprisingly, Bollywood is now busy talking about this need-based liaison.'

Abhishek Kapoor aka Gattu?

Was an actor who turned to director, didn't get much success.
Abhishek aka Gattu started his bollywood career as an actor first in mid 90's. Acted opposite Twinkle Khanna in his first film as a hero and gave few more flop films. Didn't succeed.

Turned director later with Aryan, Rock on and KPC.

Belongs to a known filmi family

He is Jeetendra's nephew, Ekta Kapoor's first cousin.

Thanks to her proximity with him, upcoming actress bagged a prestigious project and she travelled with him to various cities

Upcoming actress must have got a side role in his upcoming films. He was travelling to cities for Fitoor's reiki. Is it Huma in side role in any of his upcoming films like fitoor or Mahabharat?

But is this article hinting towards Huma Qureshi? But isn't Huma almost 3 year old in the industry to be called upcoming actress 😕.

Nevertheless Huma is the only newbie actress who threw a party for directors according to Mid-Day's previous blind item this year. She invited Anurag Kashyap but he didn't come.

Atul Agnihotri? Just taking a wild guess. 😆 Actress Kriti Sanon? But she didn't host Heropanti's success bash, was just merely a part of it. Film family - Khans.

Or is it Zarine Khan?

Abhishek (Gattu) is engaged to Pragya and is in a live in relationship with her, but not married.

My first guess was Arbaaz Khan.

One of the Khan brothers likely. Gattu is engaged not married. Arbaaz and Sohail match the unsuccessful actors tag, Sohail failing even as a director.

Dont know about Atul but both Arbaaz and Sohail are known to behave oddly after having drinks. I remember E24 once showing a footage of Sohail coming out from a party, fully drunk giving away his wallet at night. 😆

Could be Sohail Khan and Huma...

She hosted a party recently, Sohail attended that party.

This must be the project that involved traveling to different cities.

Huma Qureshi and Jacqueline Fernandez Are Brand Ambassadors For Mumbai Heroes Team

Sohail Khan's team Mumbai Heroes, which will participate in Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), has roped in Huma Qureshi and Jacqueline Fernandez to be the face of their team. Previous year, Chitrangada Singh and Kangna Ranaut were the brand ambassadors of Mumbai Hereos. Vikas Kapoor who is the co-owner of the team said that every year they look for fresh faces to represent their team but that won't replace the previous ambassadors.

Kangana Ranaut and Chitrangada Singh will attend a couple of matches to support Mumbai Hereos while Huma Qureshi and Jacqueline Fernandez will travel every city where the team goes. CCL has always garnered attention for their celebrity and glamour quotient and in the coming season they continue to do so.
