Onlookers say they get along like a house on fire

Abhay Deol and newbie Jacqueline Fernandes seemed to have hit off well. The two were seen bonding big time after an awards event on Sunday at a suburban hotel. The duo later made their way to a happening nightspot in the hotel.

Surprising
Eyebrows were raised considering the Aladin actress and the Dev D star have not acted together. But it appeared that in their very first meeting, they got along like a house on fire!

Says an onlooker, "It was surprising to see Abhay and Jacqueline act so friendly, almost like a couple. He chatted away and she kept on giggling. Seeing a photographer around, suddenly Abhay kept his distance. But Jackie still being a novice seemed unawares that she was attracting attention."

It is well-known in B-Town that the star nephew is quite a ladies man and has been linked to most of his co-stars including Soha Ali Khan, Minissha Lamba, Neetu Chandra and Gul Panag. There was also buzz about Sonam Kapoor and him after she was keen to be his co-star in Aisha.

Before signing Aladin, there was buzz about Jackie being friendly with Vivek Oberoi after the two had headed for a nightspot after attending an event. Speculation was also rife that VO had put in a word with director Sujoy Ghosh with whom he had acted in Home Delivery earlier.

Despite repeated attempts, Abhay and Jacqueline remained unavailable for comment. According to their publicist, Abhay was travelling and Jacqueline was busy with Aladin promotions.
