Reports of an affair between Lara Dutta and tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi have been doing the rounds for some time now.

Lara, who recently split from Dino Morea, has been dismissing the link-up as rubbish.

Saying Mahesh’s celebrity management company handles her portfolio and this is the only connection she has with him.

Mahesh has also denied the relationship though his marriage to model Shveta Jaikishan is said to be on the rocks.

However, Lara and Mahesh have now been spotted in London. They have checked into JW Marriott hotel and are reportedly staying in the same suite.
