The news of actress Kalki Koechlin dating newcomer Jim Sarbh (who played one of the terrorists in ‘Neerja’) started making rounds early last year when the couple was often spotted spending time together and also posted pictures on social media together.
The two actors, who have been ruling the theatre world for a while now, started going around after they did a play together called ‘The Living Room’. However, it was in October last year that the rumours of their tiff came out in open. Not all was well when Kalki and Jim were spotted completely ignoring each other at the premier of ‘A Death in the Gunj’ at the Mumbai Film Festival. While Jim was busy addressing the press here, Kalki posed for cameras, and they did not even acknowledge each other. (Also Read: Kalki Koechlin has found love in this newbie. Guess who?)
However, the couple soon patched up, after Kalki was part of the 16th Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco in December last year where her film, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, was being screened. She walked the red carpet of the prestigious festival and later that night shared a picture with Jim and captioned it, “Arab Saturday night fever says the brother, I don’t mean you @jimsarbhforreal.”
But turns out that now the couple has officially called it off.
Says a source, “Kalki and Jim had a tiff then and were determined to work on their relationship, but things didn’t work out and they actually decided to call it off last week.”
That makes it the second breakup in Bollywood in 2017 after Vishal Dadlani and his wife’s divorce.
