KAARCHI: Salman Khan, who was reportedly left heartbroken after his break-up with Katrina Kaif, has reportedly found a new friend in Bipasha Basu.

Yesterday, Khan and Basu were spotted by fans out on a dinner date at an upscale Italian restaurant in Mumbai. The news broke when three separate people caught sight of their favourite stars enjoying dinner and immediately took to twitter to express their excitement, informing the world of their celeb sighting.

One eyewitness wrote, “@bipsluvurself just saw u with salman outside basilico ... U looooked AWWWWESOME.”

Followed by another voracious tweet, “I complain that a dinner place is too expensive. Walk in to find an overrated author here, Salman walks in and Bipasha too. Hence proved.”

Basu has reportedly been signed for an appearance in Salman’s brother Sohail’s next production, tentatively titled ‘Sher Khan.’

Journalist Rati Chaudhary also took to the popular social network tweeting, “Went to a restaurant in bandra today.. C-bag, salman khan and bipasha all were there. C-bag was not with them.”

The yet-to-be-announced couple previously appeared together in the 2005 hit film ‘No Entry’.
