Lara in love

The Lara Dutta-Dino Morea romance is getting serious. The love story first became public last year. Lara and Kelly were together for seven years before they parted.

Although they parted amicably, Kelly hasn’t gotten over the actress, which makes it hard for Lara to come out in the open with her new relationship.

What makes it harder is that she is now in a relationship with her ex-beau’s best buddy. She doesn’t know how to break the news to Kelly, without making Dino seem like a villain.

The only reason the duo have not gone public with their feelings for each other, is because they are considering Kelly’s feelings.

Says a source close to the actress, “It’s very obvious that Lara and Kelly are completely smitten by each other. They don’t want to hide their relationship but it’s really awkward because they don’t know how to break the news to Kelly.”

When Kelly and Lara broke up, Dino had opened the doors of his house to his old pal. Lara’s ex stayed at Morea’s house before moving into a new place.

Adds a friend of the couple, “It’s really awkward now. Even though they parted as friends, now Lara and Kelly avoid each other. If you call one for a party, the other won’t show.

Lara has admitted to her close friends that she is very much in love with Dino. And Dino seems really committed too. But for now they will have to keep their relationship a secret.”
