Payal and Rahul Love Affair - Article

Is a struggling actress responsible for Rahul's divorce?

Mumbai, Aug 1 (IANS) Payal Rohatgi's acting career may not be going great guns but
her personal life is on a high. Sources say that her closeness with Rahul Mahajan
may have been the reason for the break-up of his marriage.
Rahul, son of the late Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former union minister Pramod
Mahajan, formally parted ways from his wife Shweta Friday after a Gurgaon court passed a
decree on their mutual divorce petition.

According to sources, Payal who has been denying any link with Rahul off late, recently
hosted a party for him at a five-star hotel here. The party, which was a personal affair, was
attended by select guests and the media was not invited.

When asked about the party, Payal was not willing to disclose any details.
"It was a personal affair. I would not like to say anything about it," Payal told IANS Friday.

However, one of the invitees at the party said: "Both of them played the perfect hosts and
looked like a couple."

Reports say Rahul and Payal have been friends for more than six years.

But their closeness increased ever since Rahul's relations with his wife took an ugly turn.

However, a few common friends now blame Payal for the strained relations between Rahul
and his wife.

"I don't want to discuss personal life. It is completely my personal affair and I would not like to comment on it," said Payal, who was seen in films like "Corporate", "36 China Town", "Dhol".

Sources say in recent times, Rahul and Payal have been spotted in various places together and he is even planning to cast her in the lead in the first film under his production company Cine Vision.

There were also reports that Rahul gifted Payal an imported car when her car was completely
damaged in an accident.

Rahul married his old time friend Shweta Aug 29, 2006, months after Pramod Mahajan was
shot dead by his own brother in his Mumbai home.

Later Rahul hit the headlines when he was hospitalised after an alleged incident of drug abuse. Pramod's secretary Viveik Moitra died of drug overdose.

it has just been hours since Rahul Mahajan divorced his wife Shweta and the news
about his romantic link-up with actress Payal Rohatgi is already all over the place. Rahul
Mahajan is the son of the late Bharatiya Janata Party leader Promod Mahajan and it is
being said that his closeness with Rohatgi could have been a possible reason for his divorce.

Payal Rohatgi, who has done insignificant roles in films like Corporate, 36 China Town,

Dhol, has been continuously denying a love affair with Mahajan though. Sources reveal

that she threw a party for Rahul Mahajan at a five-star hotel in New Delhi recently and

that only few close friends were invited to it. When queried about it, the actress was not r

eady to divulge details.

She just quipped, 'It was a personal affair. I would not like to say anything about it'.

However one of the guests spilled that both Rohatgi and Mahajan were the ideal hosts

and looked like a pair. One hears that the two of them have been friends for over six

years now and that they came close after Mahajan's married life started turning sour.

One also hears that Rahul Mahajan is going to cast his new love interest as the lead

in the first film under his production company Cine Vision.
