Srijit Mukherji is a renowned filmmaker from West Bengal. Although he has been romantically linked with several people in his personal life, he eventually settled down with Bangladeshi model-actress Rafiath Rashid Mithila. However, his past relationships often stir discussions and controversies.
Recently, rumours have been swirling about a new woman in Srijit's life. A recent Indian media report has fueled speculation following the viral circulation of a video showing Srijit in close company with actress Alexandra Taylor. This has led many netizens to believe the director might be in a new romantic relationship.
Responding to the buzz, Srijit has denied any romantic involvement. "Alexandra is a very close friend. She's highly educated, and we both have a shared interest in snakes. She even used to work at a pet shop," he explained.
When asked if he's planning to cast Alexandra in an upcoming film, Srijit responded, "We're in discussions about several things, but I haven't envisioned any specific role for her yet."
Meanwhile, sources in Kolkata hint that all may not be well between Srijit and Mithila. The couple has remained tight-lipped, refusing to comment on the current state of their relationship, leaving room for speculation.
As a result, some social media users are skeptical of Srijit's clarification and believe there might be more to his bond with Alexandra than just friendship.
