Rumours of a relationship between Sara Ali Khan and cricketer Shubman Gill began when they were spotted together on a dinner date.

Izabelle Leite and
Virat Kohli
Brazilian model and actress Izabelle Leite seen in movies like 'Talaash' reportedly dated cricketer Virat Kohli for almost two years. She had told Bollywood Hungama, 'Virat was one of the first Indian friends I had when I came to India. We were dating for quite a while.
We were together for almost two years. But we didn't want to make it public. So yeah, Virat and I did have a relationship. But Sidharth is only my friend and yes, we do spend time together as well.
'
Deepika Padukone and Yuvraj Singh
Back in time, Deepika Padukone and cricketer Yuvraj Singh were seen together on dinner dates, leading to dating rumours. As quoted by Telegraph India, Yuvraj explained, 'I had just come back from South Africa and we met through common friends in Mumbai.
We liked each other and wanted to know more.' However, their busy schedules prevented a long-term relationship.
He added, 'We didn't spend enough time with each other to know if it was going to be a long-term thing. As things turned out she moved on and so did I. Well, she was with me and now she's moved on with another person. I guess it's her personal choice. If someone wants to move out of a relationship, there isn't much that the other person can do.
I am not blaming anyone but just stating the facts.'

However, the relationship ended, and both went on to marry other people, Amrita tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan and Ravi married Ritu Singh. In a throwback video Ravi had recalled a shy first meeting with Amrita, 'When I first met my girlfriend, Amrita, you might know her from films, it was at a restaurant in Mumbai.
For the first ten minutes, I didn't say a word. I always knew I was shy around girls, but I didn't expect to be completely speechless. She kept talking for the entire ten minutes. It was one of my most embarrassing moments.'

Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi summoned by Pune court over portrayal of lawyers in ‘Jolly LLB 3'
A civil court in Pune Monday issued summons to the director and actors of the upcoming Bollywood movie Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar, following a complaint filed by Pune-based advocate Wajed Khan that the film may defame judges and lawyers. The summons dated August 18, issued by Junior Division Civil Judge J G Pawar, asked director Subhash Kapoor, actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi to appear in the court on October 28. The movie is scheduled for release on September 19. Khan said the recently out teaser of the movie contained objectionable language about judges and lawyers under the guise of cinematic liberty. Khan said he filed the civil suit with fellow advocate Ganesh Mhaske. The summons asks the makers of the movie to appear in the court in person to 'answer the claim' and produce all documents upon which they intend to rely in support of their defence. 'Take notice that, in default of your appearance on the day before mentioned, the suit will be heard and determined in your absence,' it stated. The summons, however, wrongly names Akshay Kumar as Arun Bhatia instead of his birth name, Rajiv Bhatia. 'I will file a correction application in the court for changing the name Arun Bhatia on a summons. It should be Rajiv Bhatia alias Akshay Kumar, who is a lead actor of the movie Jolly LLB 3,' said Khan. Khan said the summons has been dispatched to Kumar, Kapoor, and Warsi by post to their respective addresses in Mumbai. Jolly LLB 3 is the third instalment in the legal comedy franchise. The first part starring Warsi was released in 2013. The sequel, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, became a superhit, earning over Rs 200 crore worldwide. Alok Jain and Ajit Andhare produce the third part of the franchise under the banner of Star Studio 18.
