Gerard bonds with Kangna

It is one of those links that the international paparazzi has missed out on. Gerard Butler (300, The Bounty Hunter, Law Abiding Citizen) and Bollywood's curly haired beauty Kangna Ranaut met recently, but they managed to keep it under wraps.

Our source informs, "Gerard met Kangna at Priyanka Chopra's party nearly a year-and-a-half ago. However, they didn't even get around to making more than polite conversation because there were many people from Bollywood there."

The media blitzkrieg about him and Priyanka Chopra put the Hollywood hottie on his guard. Once he returned to Scotland, he steered clear of Bollywood. Another source informs, "Gerard failed to understand how so much information on his visit to star homes was made available to the press."

When the actress was in the US with Sunny Deol for a film, she text messaged him to inform him about shooting in his country. Gerard, who is now in a steady relationship, dropped in to see her. Says a unit hand, "Yes, he came on the set. Jaws dropped when the Bollywood unit realised that the man on their set was a huge Hollywood actor." Kangna refused point blank to comment on her friendship with the international actor.
