The news of their whirlwind romance first came up when Sarah had put up a picture with the 46-year-old director at her beachfront hotel in Vagator. A source close to the couple was reported as saying, “They share a common passion for food and travel and like spending time with each other. Imtiaz is a very private person and likes to keep his personal life away from the public view. They are taking it slow for now and there is no clarity if the topic of marriage has been raised.”
