Bollywood celebs who have spoken openly about live-in relationships

Sidharth Malhotra is currently riding high on the success of his latest film ‘Ittefaq’. The Bollywood hunk, who is rumoured to be in a relationship with Alia Bhatt, recently opened up about matters of heart, marriage, live-in relationship and much more. With charmingly good looks, a great physique and a dreamy personality, there is no wonder why the heartthrob makes the ladies go weak in the knees.

Sharing his thoughts on romance, the actor said that if he met an “interesting woman”, he would not hesitate to ask her to dinner. Interestingly, this approach landed him with some great conversations.

He also went on to admit that he finds long and loose hair very sexy and that he finds it very cute when a woman makes her move on him.

Coming to his take on tying the knot and settling down, Sidharth said that he didn’t think marriage was “essential” and that live-in relationships are just as intimate. However, the hunk has no aversions to taking on the ‘family man’ tag when he is ready to become a father and give his child the security of a family.
