For Nargis Fakhri, Angela Jonsson and now Australian model Kristina Akheeva, getting linked to these bachelor boys seems to be the quickest way to become famous overnight. It’s an interesting pattern, really. Wannabe foreign starlet gets linked to young, eligible B-Town actor and post that, goes on to sign films here. Ranbir and Shahid Kapoor have both been there. And now we are told that Shak’s charm has struck again, and Kristina Akheeva, an Australian model of Russian descent, is the latest object of his affection. A source said: “Shahid and Kristina met at a brand shoot and have become friends. They began partying together soon after, with mutual friends in tow. He even took Kristina to a house party. She was also invited to his birthday party in Goa. Since then, the two have become even closer.” Shahid’s spokesperson denies this, adding, “He is tired of being linked with anyone he has even met casually. He feels he gets targeted as he’s single, and finds it very embarrassing.” So who’s behind the rumours? The agencies handling these wanna-shine actresses? You could be right in assuming that. These girls seem to be in the loop, too. When contacted, Kristina initially admitted to being “good friends” with the Kapoor lad. Angela Jonsson too was spotted with Ranbir Kapoor at many hotspots after being introduced at Shahid’s birthday last year. Shahid too was linked to Angela. Jonsson now has two films in her kitty. One is Sohail Khan’s next opposite Salman Khan and there’s one project with producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Nargis Fakhri and Ranbir were ‘dating’ before ‘Rockstar’s release. She had also been invited to Shahid’s birthday party in Goa this year, where they were ‘spotted’ growing closer and closer. After a long film drought and the last link-up, she recently signed a three-film deal with Akshay Kumar’s production house.
