Ishqbaaz actor Leenesh Mattoo is in love. The actor is dating his Brahmarakshas 2 co-actor Shivani Jha for almost a year now. The duo met on the sets of Brahmarakshas 2 a year back and hit if off instantly. The couple recently posted a Diwali video, where they were seen dancing
When we spoke to Leenesh about this, he said, “Shivani is an ambitious, independent, attractive and very understanding girl. She is also extremely loyal and patient – all the qualities that you want in a woman when you set out to be in a relationship. We both enjoy different kinds of cuisines and we keep exploring food at different places in Mumbai. I met her during Brahmarakshas 2 and we have been dating for around 10 months now.”
Shivani, who is currently seen in Bhagyalakshmi, said, “The first thing I liked about Leenesh was his punctuality. He always reported on time for the shooting of Brahmarakshas. I feel punctuality is very important in a man. Secondly, he is extremely caring, friendly and loving – again all qualities that I would look for in my partner. We work out regularly together so that we can gorge on good food on our cheat days. While Leenesh enjoys Mughlai cuisine, I enjoy Chinese. So, we are always finding out biryani places and interesting Chinese eateries in Mumbai.”
So are they looking at taking their relationship to the next level? “We haven’t thought of marriage,” said Leenesh adding, “We are happy enjoying each other’s company and laughing together.” Shivani also echoed a similar sentiment. She said, “It is not tough to be in a relationship if you are with the right guy. We haven’t thought of marriage because we are busy trying to settle in our careers.”
