| Bollywood's reigning music sensation, Himesh Reshammiya, has been crooning 'I love you, sayyoni' at every stage show. But few know that the 'sayyoni' of his life is telly actress, Sounia Kapur (numerologically correct, wot?). This may come as a huge surprise to many, as fewer still know about the Himesh-Sounia affair. Naam hai tera, tera
Himesh has always kept his marital life under wraps, refusing to talk about his wife and son. The composer-turned-singer-turned-actor has been talking only about his parents lately, especially his music composer father, Bipin Reshammiya. "I don't deny that I am married," says Reshammiya. "Everyone knows about it. But I don't want to talk about my personal life." When asked about his relationship with Sounia, he says, "This is just a rumour. Sounia has been a friend for the last eight years. Our families have known each other for a long time, so there is nothing beyond friendship. There is no romantic angle at all. This is not true." Sounia's reply is also on the same lines. "I am not romantically involved with Himesh. I have known him and his family for years. He is a very good human being and a great friend," says the actress, who is single. "I have acted in several soaps, have you ever heard my name being linked with anyone?" Aashiq banaya apne
The actress was a part of Himesh's US tour as anchor earlier this year as well as his recent shows in the UK. Says an onlooker, "They became really close during the US tour, but it was only during the UK shows that the romance was in full bloom. They were always together except during the tour, except during his Wembley concert. The primary reason was the planeload of Indian media who were present." Currently seen in the SAB show Ishq Ki Ghanti, Sounia has featured in television serials like Sati (SaharaOne), Remix (Star One) and Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai (Sony) as well as on stage in the Hindi play, Yeh Tedha Ghar Yeh Medha Ghar. Adds the onlooker, "There are very few people who know about Himesh's fondness for Sounia. But Sounia has admitted to people close to her that the singer has promised to marry her next year, after his film Aap Ka Surroor — The Real Love Story releases in June 2007. He has told her that he is ready to separate from his wife, but he does not want to do it at this stage of his career, especially when things are going so well." Junoon, junoon
When we spoke to Himesh and Sounia yesterday, both were boarding a flight back to Mumbai from London. Though both are in denial mode, our sources confirm that there is definitely more to this 'friendly' bonding.
In fact, Himesh accidentally called us back and we could hear him tell Sounia that we were doing a story about them. All we can say is, there is no smoke without fire. Incidentally, in his earlier days as a TV producer, Himesh has had his fair share of link-ups. But it seems that with Sounia, he has struck the right chord. http://www.mid-day.com/hitlist/2006/november/146275.htm |
