Love is in the air for cricketer Yuvraj Singh. The buzz is that he has lost his heart to Karishma Kotak, a successful model and a Telegu movie actress.

A source from the film industry told, "Yuvraj Singh has been seeing Karishma Kotak for a while now. The two are often seen together at suburban hangouts and five-star hotels. They make no bones about being spotted together and are pretty cozy in each other's company. Their relationship is going strong and both seem really happy with each other."

Knowing that it is a common practice among celebrities to brush off their growing relationships as 'good friendships', we first quizzed with Karishma about her stay in Mumbai, since she is from London. Karishma told, "I am born and brought up in London, and have been staying in Mumbai for the past two and a half years. I have made some interesting friends among which there are several actors and one cricketer."

Biting the bait, we pressed her further as to which cricketer she was taking about. Karishma answered, "I can't reveal his name, but yes, he's a close friend of mine."

When we told her that she has often been spotted with Yuvraj Singh, Karishma laughed out aloud and told, "I knew this would happen; that someone would call me. Of late, we have been hanging out a lot. We met a few months ago through a mutual friend but I can't tell you where. We are just friends and I care a lot about him. He is a really sweet and nice guy."

On being egged further, Karishma disclosed that she looks forward to spending time with Yuvraj. She confessed, "We try and see each other whenever I am back from my shoots. And we don't just go partying, it's dinners as well."

Asked about Yuvi's professional life, Karishma told, "I haven't seen any of his matches as I have been travelling a lot. But I definitely plan to witness a live match very soon. He has been playing well and I am very happy for him."

She has been a Kingfisher calendar model and has done a lot of commercial ads. She has also worked in a Telegu Film, Shankardada Zindabad, where she was paired opposite Chiranjeevi. Prabhu De directed the film.
