Director Says That's not true about Tamannaah !

25/03/2014

Rumours of filmmaker Sajid Khan having developed an off screen romance with Tamannaah have been doing the rounds for a while. Sajid who gave Tamannaah the Bollywood break in Himmatwala is currently the directing the actress once again in Humshakals. Reports claimed that he was ­favouring her over the film’s other actors — Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta. 

The director however thrashed the rumors citing "Of course not; she’s like a younger sister to me. These rumours are very funny and baseless,” says Sajid, adding that Tamannaah is his ‘rakhi ­sister’. She echoed the ­sentiment, when asked. 

"Yes, it’s true. I tied a rakhi to Sajid during the shoot of Himmatwala, and I consider him as my elder brother. He treats me like a younger ­sister and is quite protective of me," says the 24-year-old actor.  

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time Sajid has been linked to the heroines he has cast in his films. In the past, he has made news for dating Jacqueline Fernandes (who starred in his hit film, Housefull 2; 2012), after which he was reported to be spotted around town with actor Esha Gupta (who ­features in Sajid’s upcoming  film, Humshakals).
