Leander Paes and actress Kim Sharma are the hot new couple in B-town after their romatic gateway in Goa sparked a alleged love-affair between the two. Now, Kim Sharma's ex-boyfriend actor Harshvardhan Rane has said that she and Leander would make for the 'hottest couple in town', but admitted that he had no way of knowing that they are actually dating. He told a leading daily, "I have no knowledge. It would be respectful if confirmed by them, but if true, that's the hottest couple in town." On Wednesday, a restaurant-bar in Goa posted pictures of Kim and Leander Paes, enjoying a meal together and also showing some PDA on the beach. Kim later posted a picture on Instagram, seemingly from the same day, and credited 'Mr P' for the photograph.
In a 2020 interview, Harshvardhan joked that his 'DNA' was the reason behind his breakup with Kim. “What went wrong is my DNA. It is clear that I was single for the last 12 years. There has to be a reason for sure because nothing happens without any reason. I started dating her and she is the most fun person on this planet earth,” he told Times Now. Kim, who made impressive debut in Mohabbatein, has been away from the limelight for many years. On the other hand, Leander has a daughter with his estranged wife Rhea Pillai. Last week, on the 22nd anniversary of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi’s Wimbledon win, the duo announced their partnership with filmmakers Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwini Iyer Tiwari as they tell their story via a project on the streaming platform ZEE5.
