Spilling the beans on popular chat show Koffee With Karan has become more the norm than the exception. The latest news from the sets is that Lara Dutta and fiance Mahesh Bhupathi have confessed to Karan that they plan to tie the knot in February next year.
Says our source, "Lara and Mahesh appeared on the show on Wednesday night. When the Koffee With Karan host quizzed them about their relationship and romance, they spoke openly and even discussed marriage plans.
When Karan asked them outright about the marriage date, they promptly replied that it would be in February 2011 and that their families were in the process of fixing the date. Lara even told KJo how the tennis ace proposed to her in New York on Sept 12 this year."
The couple even replied to queries regarding past relationships. Bhupathi was claimed to be the reason behind the actress dumping Dino Morea while some reports even said Lara was responsible for the divorce of Mahesh and model Shwetha Jaishankar.
"They spoke candidly about their respective exes and cleared the air on how those relationships were over before theirs started," reveals our source.
Dutta has been previously linked to model Kelly Dorjee.
She has been seeing Bhupathi for the last year, ever since the doubles specialist separated from his wife in '09. Mahesh announced the engagement on his Twitter page.
The jodi got engaged when he was in New York for the US Open and Lara was there for a magazine photo shoot.
Bhupathi's Big Daddy Productions and Lara's Bheegi Basanti Production are co-producing Challo Dilli along with Eros International. Recently, the first shooting schedule was completed last month.
After Lara and Mahesh announced their engagement in September, Lara's publicist had told the media that the actress was starting work on Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, so there were no plans for a wedding for the next couple of years.
