Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi’s love story
During an episode of Koffee with Karan, Lara Dutta revealed that her first encounter with Mahesh Bhupathi was strictly professional. She explained, “We met as professionals and I didn’t know much about Mahesh. I am not a big tennis fan. I met him as Globosport (Mahesh’s company) head and a client he was handling.” Their initial interaction began with a text message from Bhupathi inviting her for a drink. However, Dutta, doubting his professionalism, suggested meeting for coffee instead, and thus their journey began over coffee conversations in between his tournaments.
Mahesh Bhupathi confessed that his only agenda before meeting the Bell bottom actress was sparked by a newspaper article mentioning her single status. As their friendship grew, they became closer during Lara’s shoot for the 2010 movie Housefull in London. Bhupathi spent three weeks in the city, even celebrating his birthday with Lara and her friends, which she found endearing.
Despite proposing twice, the first time without a ring due to uncertainty about Lara’s response, Bhupathi eventually made a memorable proposal in New York during the US Open. Lara reminisced, “He proposed while we were in New York at the US Open. It was really sweet. Mahesh is not about drama and overtures of love.” The couple tied the knot on February 16, 2011, and are proud parents to their daughter, Saira.
