Although sources close to Nargis claim that they are not in a relationship, eyewitnesses at the restaurant say otherwise, apparently the duo was very happy and comfortable in each other's company.

Dev is in the country to film a biopic on mathematician, Ramanujan and Nargis is relatively free now after having finished her Hollywood film, Spy.

Nargis has previously been linked with actor-producer Uday Chopra, they were rumoured to be dating for two years. However, neither of the two denied or admitted the reports.
