Reports have come in that Eijaz Khan and Anita Hassanandani, the couple who crackled with onscreen chemistry, who have decided to part ways.
The two have been facing a lot of tension in their relationship for the past few months. They have been together for a long time now, but of late seem to be having just too many differences.
Eijaz and Anita fell in love on the sets of Kavyanjali and carried on their love story with the blessings of mentor Ekta Kapoor. Unlike other star couples who prefer to keep their private lives private, these two were quite open about their relationship and made a lot of public appearances together. They had also decided to tie the knot.

Some time back, the couple had a full-fledged fight in a parking lot. This was followed by heated arguments between the two at their gym, after which Anita decided to call it quits. Eijaz made no attempts to persuade her to change her mind.
Says a close friend of Anita, "Both Eijaz and Anita have been labelled as one of the cutest couple in the television industry. They were always seen walking hand in hand. But I have no idea about what went wrong between them. I have spoken to Anita about this, but she is not ready to divulge any details."
Another close friend reveals that the reason for their love going sour is, ironically, the same force that brought them together, Balaji Telefilms. "They fell in love while shooting for Balaji's Kavyanjali. When the couple was contemplating marriage, Eijaz made it clear that he did not want Anita to work after marriage. In fact, she almost stopped working, which did not go down well with Balaji. Anita who used to grace every party of Ekta gradually distanced herself from the Balaji camp, all for Eijaz. Ekta always wanted Anita to work as she is her trump card to the soaring TRPs. Anita is really popular with the audiences."
Our source adds, "When some more cracks began to develop in their already disintegrating relationship, Anita resumed work in order to keep herself busy. Needless to say, Balaji was more than happy to have their star girl back. However, the instance she began acting in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, it struck the death knell for their relationship."
Says another actor from sets of Kyunki…, on conditions of anonymity, "There was hardly a time when the two were not together. Surprisingly, now Anita hardly mentions Eijaz on the sets. They do not even speak to each other. I guess Anita wants to concentrate on her work at the moment. In fact, at the recent Balaji party at Ekta's new house at Juhu, the couple very obviously avoided each other."
The couple, who have performed together on numerous stage shows, do not make any more joint appearances. Both Eijaz and Anita are performing in an event specially called Mast Kalandar by Sahara One on Eid, but doing so separately. "We are taking a lot of TV stars including Eijaz and Anita. If they are not comfortable with the idea of performing together, we cannot force them. We are quite happy to have them." says a source.
Despite repeated attempts, both Eijaz and Anita remained unavailable for comment.
