New Delhi, Jan 28 (IANS) She may not be a tennis freak, but Bollywood beauty Lara Dutta is sincerely hoping that her fiance Mahesh Bhupathi wins the men’s doubles Australian Open with his partner Leander Paes Sunday.”So proud of Lee & Hesh!!! Praying for a win! The only Grandslam title they haven’t won together… YET!!! C’monnnnn Boys!!! (sic),” Lara posted on her Twitter page following Paes-Bhupathi’s entry into the Australian Open final Thurdsay.
The two tennis players made for a former World No.1 pair, and have won three Grand Slams together — Wimbledon (1999) and two French Open titles (1999, 2001). They are now playing a Grand Slam together after nine years.
Bhupathi will be tying the knot with Lara Feb 19. The duo got engaged in New York in September.
