Bollywood corridors are buzzing with hushed whispers of whether rumors of Alia Bhatt dating Sidharth Malhotra are true ? ‘Are they really a couple ?”, “Wasn’t she linked to Varun before”, are some of the questions on everyone’s mind. From what we know, Alia and Sidharth are definitely giving their romance a serious shot. Even though they have known each other for a long time, they never looked at each other as two people who could date each other.

We are told that the person who actually got them together was common friend Karan Johar who often hosted parties that these two would attend. While was started off as casual flirting and getting to know each other better soon turned into something more meaningful. Buzz is that Alia who was nursing a broken heart after her unrequited love story with Varun fizzled out, soon turned to Sid as a friend. The difference was that the two didn’t realize they would fall for each other that soon.

Unfortunately the two didn’t get enough time to spend with each other. Just when their romance was blooming Alia had to leave for a month long schedule to London where she was shooting with Shahid Kapoor for Shaandar. Sid managed to stay in touch with her over the phone and the two would have long chats for several hours
