Dino Morea with Nandita Mahtani
After breaking up with former Miss Universe and Bollywood beauty Lara Dutta, seems like Dino Morea has returned back to ex-girlfriend, fashion designer Nandita Mahtani. And reports have that they are much serious this time.

Lara-Dino separated around eight months ago. After break up Lara started dating tennis player Mahesh Bhupati, while Dino was all alone. Eventually he comes close to Nandita once again. According to sources Nandita was always remained friends to Dino, even when he was dating Lara, which was also the reason of worry for Lara. However the actor has now came close to his ex one more time. They have been scene together at private parties. However they still haven’t spoke about their relationship in public.

A source said, “During Arjun Rampal’s restaurant launch in Delhi about a month ago, both of them came together and were seen hand-in-hand at the party through the evening. Even on Sunday night during an awards event, they were extremely comfortable with each other. Dino came late as he had gone to attend an Acid Factory promotion event while Nandita had already reached the venue. Dino came with his close friend Baba and three of them were seen together after that. They even had dinner together.”

Restaurateur and actor Dino Morea has always been written more about his relationships than his career. Earlier the actor has dated two Bollywood actresses Bipasha Basu and Lara Dutta. But now he is single and wants to be talked about his work rather than his link-ups.

Dino says, “I find it very annoying and intrusive to have my personal life constantly speculated upon.

“I’m not in a relationship with anyone right now. I’m single and in a happy state currently. I just want to spend some Dino time,” he adds.

Dino has recently roped in cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni to endorse a range of merchandise. Talking about his Bollywood career, Dino has lots of film in line including an action thriller and a romantic caper. Sharing his experience working in Aditya Chopra’s film, Dino said, “I just loved working with Aditya Chopra on Pyaar Impossible. It is a special appearance with Uday Chopra and Priyanka Chopra. And, I must say, it is the most memorable experience of my career. I hope to take this association further.”

Like many other actors, Dino also wants to try his hand in production. Talking about his first production he said, “My first production is a romantic comedy with a fresh young cast set in England.”

“And, I’m also looking at a couple of other scripts simultaneously,” adds the soon to be producer.

There might be different answers for why Dino is so happy like may be his restaurant business is doing well, or he recently caught NBA live or practiced basketball with his favorite players. But the actual reason is that Dino has bought a heritage bungalow in Bandra. That’s the reason Dino can’t stop smiling. His parents also are happy. He named the bungalow as ‘Casa-Morea’.

Let you know that Dino Morea and Lara Dutta are off to Los Angeles. Both of them will attend a match between Lakers and the New Jersey, where they have been invited as special guests. Dino was so excited to meet his favorite basketball player Kobe Bryant and watch his favorite team - The Lakers while playing. To share his excitement, he called PT from LA and said, “I’ve just heard that Jack Nicholson may be at the match, too! Can you believe it?” The conclusion is that Dino has keen interest in basketball. Well, we didn’t know that.

Lara denies wedding with Dino

We started with a retro mood and she bowled us over instantly.

And we just couldn’t stop laughing. Wondering what we are talking about. When we asked actor Lara Dutta about her career in 2008, she said, “A super busy year but no one will believe. Unfortunately there is nothing to show.” But then this year will be different.

Lara has a huge line of impressive movies coming up in 2009 — Billu Barber, Banda yeh bindaas hai, Blue and Do not Disturb. Inspite of having a full fledged role in SRK’s production Billu Barber, she is hardly seen in the promos. “I don’t interfere in the marketing strategy of a film. In a male dominated tinsel world, where the female actors are only adding glamour or glorifying the hero’s existence in the film, you have to be happy that you added value to an interesting product like Billu Barber.”

Her friendship with actor Dino Morea has generated much interest but she still continues to maintain a dignified silence. Lara maintains that she shares a wonderful friendship with Dino because they have known each other since they were in school. “We have known each other since I was five years old. So just because people want me to proclaim my friendship with him and shout from the rooftop, I am not going to do it. There is certainly no wedding happening here. You need to find a partner who supports you emotionally. I am yet to come across a person like that.”

Next, you ask her about the ‘camps’ in Bollywood and why isn’t she a part of any camp? “There are no permanent friendships or enemies in Bollywood. The stakes are too high here to have a friend because the next minute he would be backslapping you. Stardom gets you a table in a five-star hotel but it can really drive you insane. So I prefer to have the same set of people in my life than change them. I am not a very pushy person so I am not visible.”

Now Lara has discovered a new passion for scriptwriting. She has penned some three scripts for films and emphasises that they are not “woman-oriented subjects. If I pen women oriented subjects, none of the hot selling men in the industry will work for me.” She also tells us about her adventures in the Bahamas whilst shooting for Blue with Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. “I became a certified diver and swam with the sharks, dolphins, wild turtles and dolphins. Initially I was really scared of diving in, but then I realised that it is a myth that all sharks attack humans as soon as they see them. It was awe-inspiring.”

Lara shakes her head when we ask her if she would want to be a part of international projects. “A 3-4 minute scene in the film does not really excite me. It would be interesting to work in a European film instead. There are few actors like Hale Berry or Penelope Cruz who get to do interesting roles.” She appears perfectly fine about her “not really interested in being called sexy because it is more fun with the guys, when you are one of them. I like this ‘tomboy’ image that the guys have coined for me. After a while, it becomes boring to be just an ‘object of affection’ for the guys. That’s the reason why I just love spending time with Akki, Sallu, Sanju and my other co-stars. They make me do all sort of naughty things.” And right now, Lara is loving the way life is moving.

Lara & I are very close: Dino

It’s official now. Lara Dutta and Dino Morea are madly in love.

A common friend of Lara and Dino told us yesterday, “It’s not that Lara and Dino feel awkward about their relationship, but the fact is that they have taken a joint decision not to talk much about it.”

Earlier, there were reports that Lara had shifted into Dino’s house in Bandra, Mumbai. Our source said, “That’s not true. The two of them spend a lot of time together, but they have their respective homes. Yes, they both reside in Bandra but Lara stays in Anstel apartments while Dino stays at his bungalow.”

Our source added, “Both Lara and Dino have had ups and downs in their personal lives. So, they are maintaining a low profile this time. They do go out together but they don’t want to make their relationship apparent by openly indulging in public displays of affection.”

When contacted, Dino refused to talk about his relationship with Lara. On being probed further, he simply said, “Lara and I are very close. Lara is a very beautiful and intelligent girl. I don’t want to say anything more than this at this point of time.”

Lara leaves SRK's party, Dino follows her

There was a time when Lara Dutta and Dino Morea used to see each other. The old lovers again happened to cross one another's road at Shahrukh Khan's bash. Shahrukh and Gauri had thrown a party at Mannat, last week. Present on the occasion was Dino Morea and his ex beau Lara Dutta. When Lara saw Dino getting closer to designer Nandita Mahtani, she left the party and Dino followed her.

A source present at the event reveals, "Lara, Dino, Preity, Ness, and Nandita were all seen having a conversation. Later, Preity and Ness started mingling with other guests and the trio was left to themselves. Dino and Nandita were in the chatty mode, and were seen joking and laughing. It was obvious that Lara wasn't too comfortable with her beau's ex around."

Apparently at one point, Lara saw Nandita sitting on Dino's lap and she lost her patience and left the party. On seeing her leave, Morea too excused himself and followed her. A source close to the couple admits, "Yes, they had a tiff over Nandy but they talked and things are fine now."

Kareena, family and friends go to midnight mass at St Andrews

Bebo and family attended Xmas mass at a different church, as Mt Mary was too crowded

Kareena Kapoor and her group couldn't attend the midnight mass at Mt Mary's church this year because of the heavy crowds. Instead they ended up going to another church in Bandra St Andrew's.

Bebo was accompanied by sister Karisma along with mother Babita and Saif Ali Khan. Kareena's best friend Amrita Arora and her fiance Shakeel Ladak, Dino Morea and Lara Dutta. Arbaaz and Malaika Khan (with their son Arhaan) and the Arora girls' parents were also there.

Kareena explains, "We had to go to St Andrew's as we couldn't get seats at Mt Mary. It was extremely crowded. Normally our driver goes and reserves some seats earlier, but this year he couldn't even do that. My mom has bad knees and she can't stand for long, so we went to St Andrew's. It was very quiet and peaceful there."

Amrita adds, "My family and I have always gone to St Andrew's church for midnight mass for Christmas."
After the mass, Kareena and the rest went back to her place for a huge Christmas feast which consisted of roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, jacket potatoes, plum pudding, meat and chicken dishes and marzipan sweets, kalkals and guava cheese as dessert.

Dino and Amrita with their partners went back to their homes for dinner. Later the three couples Malaika Arbaaz, Amrita Shakeel and Dino Lara headed to Aurus for Baba Diwan's party.

Kareena adds, "I have been binging on anything and everything. Diets are off for me now. When I go for my Alpine holidays I am not taking any diet chart with me. I am back to looking curvy and sexy and can eat anything till January 15 after which I resume shooting for Raju Hirani's 3 Idiots."

Lara was special guest at Dino's family birthday celebration

Dino Morea has always maintained that Lara Dutta is very special to him and that fact was proved on Tuesday (Dec 9) when she came to his Bandra bungalow to spend his birthday with the rest of his family.

The actor, who is in his early thirties, says, "This year, we decided that we would bring in a quiet birthday. Because of the 26/11 attacks, the mood of the country is sombre and personally, I haven't been in the mood for celebrations. So we decided to have a quiet family get-together at my home."

This birthday was even more special for the actor as, "Mum and dad came from Bangalore to spend time with me on my birthday.

They were to come on Dec 21 but they wanted to surprise me on my birthday. It was my best birthday gift, as I haven't seen them for eight months now."

Besides his brothers, Santino and Nicolo, Dino admits close friend Lara Dutta was also with him. "But Nico's girlfriend was also there," he smiles.

He's reluctant to talk about the gifts he got from his near and dear ones, "I got some stuff like an iPod and a computer but it's too personal to talk about.

The presence of loved ones around me was enough." Though he is reluctant to reveal what Lara got him, a close friend of the couple spills the beans, "Lara and Dino both love gadgets and when they were in the USA, they bought a lot of them. Lara bought a Mac Airbook for Dino, a slip video and upgraded her iPod."

But it was not all play and no work for Morea. He adds, "I cut a big chocolate cake, had a nice birthday lunch and then I attended three important meetings.

It was a good sign that I worked on my birthday because all of the meetings were good for me. I always go to Mount Mary; I went three days ago but didn't have time on my birthday. I find a lot of peace there," concludes the birthday boy.
