The two started dating during the film of Aashiqui 2 (2013). They were said to have broken up in 2016, but they later worked together in this year’s Ok Jaanu. f reports are to be believed, former couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are going to team up with Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars to raise funds to help hurricane-struck Puerto Rico.

A TOUGH TASK

Can working with your ex lead to awkward and uncomforta­ble situations? Clinical psychologi­st, Mary George Varghese agrees, saying that it can be “daunting and messy” The common cause of heart attack is formation of blood clot/s or plaque that block the coronary arteries of the heart. They supply oxygen and blood to the heart and if blocked, the heart is deprived of oxygen and stops. There is no single cause for heart failure but multiple existing conditions that can weaken the heart. Some of the causes are diabetes, hypertensi­on, valvular heart disease, etc. But not all heart failure cases are because of a prior heart attack and vice versa. sometimes. She explains, “Firstly, breaking up isn’t a pleasant experience for anybody. So, if people are working with their exes, they should navigate themselves away from difficult situations. Respect your priorities and focus on your goals, which will help you keep your emotional baggage away, if you have any. Treat them as your colleague and establish a profession­al relationsh­ip. Don’t allow your colleagues to play the residual drama.”

Your current partner may have issues with you working with your ex but Varghese says that a profession­al relationsh­ip with the ex shouldn’t be a problem to the present partner.

She says, “It completely depends on how cordial your present relationsh­ip is. The more serious it is, the lower is the chance of your current partner having a problem.”

A DIFFERENT VIEW

Relationsh­ip expert Riddhish Maru feels that working with your ex is a risky propositio­n. He says, “Memories of a breakup often take about six months to a year to fade away. If you are working with your ex, then stop comparing them to your current partner. Don’t dig up past issues. Keep in mind that you are together just for work and you broke up for a reason. Avoid situations where there could be just you and your ex. Keep your present partner updated and don’t hide anything from them — that may lead to friction and doubt in their mind.” Reportedly, Ranveer was Anushka’s first boyfriend in Bollywood after they worked in Band Baaja Baaraat (2010). They were said to have broken up in 2012. The duo featured in the movie Dil Dhadakne Do later in 2015. Reports of the duo’s relationsh­ip first emerged in 2003. But neither Salman nor Katrina confirmed the rumours. Reportedly, they split in 2010. Currently, they are working on the upcoming sequel of the movie Ek Tha Tiger (2012).
