Salman Khan introduces Hazel in 'Bodyguard' | Video News

Sallu's new girl Hazel Keech follows Kat

While the British might be busy scrutinizing Kate Middleton, we in Mumbai have our own, on-going investigations of a London belle who seems to have made her entry into the Khan dynasty.

On February 26, Mumbai Mirror broke the news about Sallu and his new friend Hazel. So for all the curious cats out there, here's the juice on Hazel Keech.

For starters, Hazel was actually christened Rose Dawn. No, she is not an undercover cop, just a 24-year old of Indian-British parentage hailing from London and currently pursuing a career in acting and modelling.

Born in Essex, north-east London, Hazel took inspiration from her Indian mother's roots and enrolled into a local Bollywood dance academy.

Rose Dawn, aka Hazel, was an extra on Harry Potter's second, third and fourth series of films. Probably that's where she learnt how to cast her spell on Bollywood's most eligible bachelor, Sallu!

While holidaying in Mumbai six years ago, she chanced upon several opportunities to pursue her acting career. Ever since then she has appeared in the Tamil film, Billa (2007) and in some of the top commercials on air, garnering a lot of popularity in the ad-film circuit.

Our Londoner has also trained in kathak, bharatanatyam, jazz, tap dance, ballet, hip-hop and the basics of belly dancing (hmmmm...). At the age of 19 she earned praise for gyrating to Kahin Pe Nigahen (the Suga Candy version, for all you chartbuster fiends out there).

Hazel, like Sallu's ex-flame Katrina Kaif, is currently taking Hindi diction classes from Vidur Chaturvedi for Sallu's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri's remake of the Malayalam super hit Bodyguard; she plays the second lead opposite Sallu.

When contacted, Chaturvedi tells us, "Yes, I am training Hazel who is in Bodyguard. It has been a week since I have been coaching her at Atul Agnihotri's office." Will our pardesi girl also make it big a la Kaif?

Is the Etrernal Romantic Salman Khan in love with Hazel?

Mumbai, Mar 1 -  Salman Khan, the handsome hunk of Bollywood is rightly called the Godfather of young actresses. He is always seen mentoring newbies and has got already five godchildren. Newcomers know the fact that if Salman is in their side, they are bound to be a successful actress. Katrina Kaif, who started her career with a super flop movie “Boom”, was helped by Sallu and became a superstar overnight with the hit film “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya”. Then there was the look-alike of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sneha Ullal, who was casted by Salman in “Lucky”, even though she is far from being a successful actress. After that Zarine Khan, look alike of Katrina was also launched by Sallu’s film “Veer”. And recently Sonakshi Sinha, debuted in “Dabangg” which was a huge hit.

 

Now Salman has fallen in love again with a budding actress Hazel, who is from Britain. They are acting together in “Bodyguard”. It is also heard that these two, are spending time together. And Salman is ever ready to help this model turned actress. They went together for a bike ride in Pune few days back. Both of them appear to share a sizzling hot chemistry, onscreen as well as offscreen.

It is too early to make out what is going on between this jodi! But their intimate bonding leaves us thinking that Salman must be in love again!

Salman in love with Brit model Hazel?

Though believed to have sworn to celibacy, as though determined never to let a girl distract him again, Salman Khan has surprised us.

The actor has recently found a female companion who he loves spending time with. Rumour has it that Sallu and British model Hazel are getting close to each other rather well. She took him out for a bike ride in Pune about two weeks ago, post which they spent a lot of quality time together. The weather in that city is such that you can't blame the two, but they have sure become the talk of town in Mumbai.

Salman and Hazel have been shooting together for Siddique Lal's Bodyguard for some time now but sparks flew in Pune only recently, they say. Before and after their shooting schedules, Salman and Hazel would spend a lot of free time with one another.

This comes as a surprise because Salman, whose reputation of having had an impressive line-up of girlfriends precedes him, reportedly wanted to concentrate only on his career post the success of Dabangg. In the past, he had close relationships with Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani, Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif.

He was briefly linked up with Mahek Chahal, Bruna Abdullah and more recently, Kangna Ranaut. But post his "brea-up" with Katrina, the actor chose to doggedly pursue his work and not allow women to distract him.

It seems Hazel is a cute exception to the rule however. Says a source, "Most new girls in the industry get quite intimidated by Salman, but Hazel has not shown any such signs. Salman and she hit it off like a house on fire. It now seems that they are more than just good friends."Hazel and Salman remained unavailable for comment.
