Disha Patani’s rumoured beau Aleksandar Alex Ilic reveals how they bonded: ‘We used to live together back in 2015’

Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff were undoubtedly one of the hottest and most talked about couples of Tinsel Town. They were together for 6 long years and never opened up about their relationship. But their chemistry and exotic holidays were enough to churn the rumor mill. Sadly the couple parted ways back in July this year. Post their break up, Disha was linked to a mystery man who was spotted with her on several outings. We are talking about her good friend and model Aleksandar Alex Ilic , who is from Serbia.

In a recent chat with ETimes, Aleksandar reacted to these rumours and opened up about his bond with Disha. He was quoted saying, “We used to live together back in 2015. At that time, she was also with the same agency. Disha, me and a couple of other models were flatmates. We connected really quickly. Fitness is something that we both are passionate about and that helped us bond. So, we started going to the gym together, had lunches and dinners together. Spent a lot of time in the house together. We became close friends.”

He went on to add that Disha is like family to him and these link up rumours don’t really bother them as they know the truth about their friendship. Aleksandar has been living in India since the last 7 years and also shares a tight bond with Tiger and his sister Krishna Shroff. When asked if he’s closer to Disha or Tiger, Aleksandar stated that he is close to both of them and also revealed that they hang out together every now and then.

On the work front, Aleksandar has shifted his focus to acting and also has a movie release next year. Meanwhile Disha will next be seen in Yodha alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna. She also has Project K in her kitty which stars Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan.
