Neil is handsome, tall, stylish, oh-so-fair with pink lips and golden hair. Add to that his chivalry and soft-spoken manners, and you have a perfectly nice man. It was a mystery that why such an eligible bachelor was flying solo. He was never linked with his co-stars, be it Rimi, Bipasha, Katrina or Mugdha.

Come to think of it, he has never been seen with a girl!

In the recent past, there were rumours that he was dating a Jai Hind student, Priyanka Bhatia for four years. Yet no one has seen her. How odd!

At the time of this revelation, he said that she was his designer and it was ridiculous to link her with him. The story died a quiet death.

Now he has declared that he has been in a relationship for over a year. “I have been evading this question in the past because I wasn’t sure about her. Yes, I do have a woman in my life and I am not revealing her name because she isn’t from the film industry and is not comfortable with it,” said Neil, adding, “She is a senior executive working with a leading corporate firm.”

Neil really respects his girlfriend’s feelings. No wonder he has been so guarded about his personal life. The guy isn’t fooling around. “I have plans to get engaged to her in the near future,” revealed Neil.

StarBoxOffice thinks Neil’s gal is very lucky to have snagged one of Bollywood’s most eligible bachelors. We are so jealous! Neil seems to be such a nice guy. He didn't use his relationship for publicity.
