After separating from husband Satyakam, Yana Gupta has found love again. "Aftab Shivdasani and Yana have developed a strong affinity for each other. The two have been spotted cosying up at lounge bars and other places," say sources. Aftab speaks
Quizzed about his relationship with Yana, Aftab wasn't annoyed at all. "People have started to question me on my relationship with Yana. You are not the first person to ask," he said, laughing all the time. "I am very uncomfortable discussing my personal life. Let's talk about my work instead," said the actor. Life in transition
Aftab neither denied nor confirmed his proximity to the Czech model, who topped the charts with her Dum item number, Babuji Dheere Chalo. "My personal life is undergoing a transition," was all he would say. I know Yana now
The actor refused to divulge how his relationship with Yana began. "I didn't know Yana before, but I know her now. If I am in love and feel that I want to say a certain thing, I will say it, but if it is something really intimate, I wouldn't like to share it with people."
Yana was unavailable for comment — her manager Shanti wanted to know what we were going to ask her. When told it was about Yana's relationship with Aftab, Shanti said she would try reaching her, but didn't think the model would talk. "I am sure she won't comment on her personal life," she said. | The Yana-Satyakam split
Yana was married to painter Satyakam Gupta for four years. Confirming their separation, a message on her personal website (matrixbay.com) read: "I am sad to say that my husband, Satyakam and I have decided to separate. The reasons for this are far too personal to discuss in the public domain."
At the time, her manager, Shanti, had said, "Yana and Satyakam are not together anymore but I cannot divulge why it happened and how it happened. Yana wants to be left alone. It's a very sensitive moment for her." | | | PLEASE BE MINE: Aftab Shivdasani | Aftab's industry affairs
Aftab has had relationships with many Bollywood actreses:
1. Kirti Reddy: Starred in Rajiv Rai's Pyar, Ishq, Mohabbat which Aftab was also a part of. The two were more than just good friends.
2. Mohini Sharma: Had a brief role in Pyar, Ishq, Mohabbat. The relationship did not last long.
3. Esha Deol: Co-actors in Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche, Aftab and Esha were the talk of the town. The relationship became too much for Esha's family. Mama Hema Malini, in particular, was dead against it. Slowly but surely, it fizzled out.
4. Shamita Shetty: The two were together for about a year. The relationship had its share of highs and lows. Once, after a major tiff, Shamita's older sister, Shilpa Shetty played cupid. Shilpa, who went through heartbreak when she split with Akshay Kumar, didn't want her little sis to go through the same experience. | | |
