Sameera Reddy, Ishant Sharma Going Around?

Sameera Reddy, Ishant Sharma Going Around?

Audience adulation is not the only common factor that binds celluloid with cricket. Following actresses Kim Sharma and Deepika Padukone being linked with cricketer Yuvraj Singh, Sameera Reddy is the latest actress to be smitten by a young cricketing sensation. Apparently, she is dating right arm fast bowler Ishant Sharma from Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders.

Our well placed source says, "Sameera and Ishant happened to meet during some of the recently held IPL matches. They have hit off very well. Sameera and Ishant are more than just good friends. They are slowly getting serious about each other."

It was during the IPL matches, where Sameera was always seen cheering the Kolkata Knight Riders, that their relationship blossomed. "She has even attended the last two matches played by the Kolkata Knight Riders," reveals the source.

"And not just that, Sameera will be performing at the IPL grand finale. The two have been constantly exchanging messages and are always in touch over the phone," adds the source.

Sameera Reddy has recently split with her earlier boyfriend, Shamshul Lalani, a Mumbai-based builder.

The source says, "Sameera and Lalani have gone their separate ways as things didn't work out between the two. Sam was very hopeful of her relation with Lalani and had even confided in her friends, that for the first time, she was finally happy in a relationship. She was eager to take the relationship forward. But the split, though amicable, hasn't gone down well with Sameera. She's been a recluse and had been depressed for the past few weeks. However, life has brightened up for Sameera now. She is definitely looking happy and cheerful again."

When contacted, Sameera only confirmed attending a few of the IPL matches. "Yes. I did attend two matches with SRK and cheered for the Kolkata Knight Riders, but that's it."

When asked about her relationship with Ishant, she quickly brushed aside the news. "I am not seeing Ishant Sharma," she laughed.

On being probed further, she said, "I never comment on my personal life and I will never do so. It only draws media attention and puts unnecessary pressure on the concerned individuals."
