Is Nandita Das dating this French businessman?

Actor-director Nandita Das made a comeback into Bollywood with her second directorial ‘Manto’ that has Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role of Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto. The biopic was well received by the audience and critics in India but the audience of Pakistan didn’t get the opportunity to watch the biopic of the celebrated writer. Nandita is enjoying her break currently and she is seen in the city with someone who is apparently the new man in her life.

Both are seen hanging out and shopping together and it seems Nandita is enjoying the company of this man. Mumbai Mirror quoted a source saying that the man is Jean-Pierre Le Calvez, Global head of alliances and partnerships in a technology company. The source revealed that they have known each other for a decade. In fact, after her divorce with husband Subodh Maskara, Nandita got closer to the French man.

The source further said, “They met at the Cannes Film Festival during her several visits to the French Riviera as participant, jury member and with the ‘Manto’ biopic recently. Jean-Pierre was a part of the company that invested in ‘Manto’. He is French but comes to Mumbai regularly. Right now, they are simply enjoying their time together.” When Mirror asked Nandita about this, she said, “I like to keep my personal life private.”

Nandita was married to Subodh for seven years before they separated. They have a son named Vihaan.
