Finally Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have settled down in a live-in relationship – keeping up with the latest trend in the showbiz industry.

Off late, Bollywood has seen an increase in the number of couples in ‘live-in relationships’ and these actors are honest about their relationship status, too.

In the recent Yash Raj film ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, Sushant Singh Rajput moves into a flat with his girlfriend Parineeti Chopra. And in real life, too, he has been living with his girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.

“I think it’s a personal choice. I am in a live-in relationship and I am ok with it,” says the actor nonchalantly.

A few years ago actress Shruti Haasan moved in with South Indian actor Siddharth Narayan, reportedly after seeking permission from her father Kamal Haasan.

Saif Ali Khan,  who was separated from Amrita Singh before their divorce, was in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend Rosa Catalano in real life, even as he essayed a similar role in ‘Salaam Namaste’. In fact, he kept up with the trend when he changed his partner.

Kareena and Saif lived together before tying the knot.  Kareena in fact admitted then, “We have been living like a couple for the past five-and-a-half years and now we are consummating the relationship.”

If Saif has been bold, his kid sister Soha is not far behind. She moved in with Kunal Khemu.

Similarly, Bipasha Basu had earlier told about her relationship with John Abraham thus: “It does feel like we are already married.”

Konkona Sen and Ranvir Shorey was also in a live-in relationship before their marriage.

And there are those who are being linked and haven’t moved in yet. For instance,  Uday Chopra and Nargis Fakhri. “It was pretty interesting because I woke up one morning and didn’t even know that I have moved in to somebody’s house… it’s a rumour… I am still single, but I would love to meet someone lovely,” she said.
