This is interesting. According to the Indian media, director Imtiaz Ali (Jab We Met, Highway) had been going out with a Pakistani girl, a known actress whose father is also a showbiz person, for quite some time. Now the two have split.

Apparently, the actress wanted Imitaz A to have a long-term commitment but he refused. This angered her and after spending a reasonable amount of time with him, she returned to Pakistan in the second week of September.

You know who I’m talking about, so … no comments.
