Bhupathi has announced this on Twitter saying, "So Lara and me got engaged in NY last week, " a published report said on Sunday.

Bhupathi was claimed to be the apparent reason behind Lara dumping Dino Morea. The lady has been held responsible for the divorce between Bhupathi and Shwetha Jaishankar, said the Times of India.

The couple has of late given ample indications of their closeness, including hand-in-hand appearances at many award shows. But rumours of them living in were subsequently rubbished. Though the industry has been anxiously waiting for a confirmation on their alleged romantic relationship, both remained coy... but things have clearly changed now.

Mahesh is now in Chennai playing Davis Cup for the country.
