Hot News: Lara Dutta engaged Mahesh Bhupathi

Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi had initially denied having any romantic involvement with each other. Lara Dutta, Ex miss universe, who had come out of a long living in relationship with model turned actor Kelly Dorjee, was linked with another model turned actor Dino Morea for a while. Mahesh Bhupathi's marriage to ex model Shveta Jaishankar was going through some rough times too. Thats when Lara and Mahesh met each other, as Lara was a client of Bhupathi's celebrity management company. Shveta later accused them of cheating her as they were seen together even before her divorce with Bhupathi came through.

For a long time the couple denied rumours of involvement, perhaps waiting for Mahesh's divorce to come through. However, recenlty the couple seemed to be ready to come out in the open about their relationship as they made appearances together at many events and were even said to be hunting for a home.

Looks like thats all in the past now. The couple got engaged last week in New York. The couple has been in New York , since August for the US Open and Davis cup, and also because Lara had to attend a photoshoot for a magazine. This morning Bhupathi confirmed the news by tweeting, 'Lara and I got engaged in NY last week. So, its official now.' Congratulations to the couple.
