She dated Bollywood director, Vikram Bhatt, for five years since the release of their first film together, ‘Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage’, but they had broken-up in 2007. Patel started dating London and Delhi-based businessman Kanav Puri after her break-up, but they eventually broke up two years later in 2010.She has many critics, who have described her as inconsistent, but have since then bitten their lips when they were proved wrong by this petite and beautiful actress – who has, and continues to enthrall her fans with a variety of performances on the silver screen.
