In fact, many even compared them to Jasleen Matharu and Anup Jalota. For the uninitiated, 'Bhajan King' Anup Jalota dropped a bombshell during the grand premiere of Bigg Boss 12 when he announced that he had been in a relationship with Jasleen Matharu, who is 37 years younger than him, for over three years now. Take a look at some of the comments: Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot Photo: Screenshot On the work front, Rhea Chakraborty will be seen next on the silver screen in Pushpdeep Bhardwaj's Jalebi opposite newcomer Varun Mitra.

People can’t figure if they are really dating or is it just a publicity stunt. Recently, actress Rhea Chakraborty posted a photo with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt with whom she has worked with in Jalebi. And fans were apparently reminded of Anup Jalota and his girlfriend looking at that picture. So much so, that trolling began almost immediately. Take a look: Jalebi has been directed by Pushpdeep Bhardwaj and produced by Mahesh Bhatt. The movie is a remake of bengali movie Praktan. Apart from Rhea, Jalebi also stars debutants Varun Mitra and Digangana Suryavanshi in pivotal roles.<doc-sep>
Trolling on social media is inevitable, especially if you're a celebrity. Some celebs prefer to maintain a dignified silence, others lash out at the haters. Just a while back, Rhea Chakraborty was viciously trolled for posting 'intimate' photos with Mahesh Bhatt on his birthday. The actress posted another picture with the veteran filmmaker to shut down the trolls. She captioned the photo, "Tu kaun hain, Tera naam hain kya? Seeta bhi yahaan badnaam hui!) If the trolls can hurl muck and filth of their minds, which comes out of their depraved souls, then all our claims of having moved away from the dark ages are bogus. Hey guys, don't you know you see the world AS YOU ARE, not AS IT IS!" Last week, Rhea had posted several photos with Mahesh Bhatt. She captioned the photo, "Happy birthday to my Buddha @maheshfilm Sir , this is us - you held me with love , you showed me love , and you have unclipped my wings forever , you are the "heart hitting " fire that ignites every soul it comes by ! Words fail me I love you." They were compared to Bigg Boss couple Anup Jalota and his girlfriend Jasleen Matharu, who is 37 years younger than him. On the work front, Rhea will be seen in Mukesh Bhatt's Jalebi. Mahesh Bhatt has announced his return to direction after 19 years with Sadak 2, which stars Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles. ALSO SEE| Rhea posts photo with Mahesh Bhatt.
