Ladies and gentleman, the first big Bollywood breakup of 2014! Actress Nargis Fakhri and Uday Chopra (son of the distinguished director/producer Yash Chopra) are no more an item. The two had not been vocal about their relationship but everybody knew it in tinsel town. Now that they’ve broken up, both don’t appear to give a hoot about letting the world know. Especially Nargis F who last week tweeted: “I believe people come into our lives for a reason and it’s always positive, even when you felt bad about someone you look back and see they helped push you forward.”

Spot on Nargis F: he did push you forward.
