Neha Dhupia's new love!

The object who is getting a pretty large share of Neha Dhupia’s affection is a canine, gifted to the actress by a friend.

A source said, “Neha used to be petrified of dogs so much so that she wouldn’t venture anywhere close to them. But ever since this pup has come into her life, Neha’s behaviour has completely changed and she’s gotten over her fear of the canine breed.” Maya — that’s what the actress has named the pup — is housed at her place in Goa.

And according to her friends, not a day goes by without Neha calling up to inquire about her pet. We don’t know what boyfriend Ritwik Bhattacharya thinks about this, we are assuming he’s too much of a gentleman to mind sharing his girlfriend’s affection with the newest apple of her eye.
