Neha Dhupia is tired of playing 'just good friends' with squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya. Now, it's time for a game of 'love all'. Today, the actress is more forthcoming about her relationship with her best friend, as Ritwik shifted base to Mumbai last week.

Says Neha, "I have known Ritwik for the last 10 years; I have grown up with him. I'm tired of acting shy and saying we are just good friends when it's more than that. We are taking our relationship to another level now that he has moved base from London to Mumbai."
But Neha insists that he hasn't moved cities in order to be closer to his ladylove. "It's not just for me. As a sportsman, it would be a bad move for him to shift to Mumbai only to be closer to me. It's just that Ritwik feels Mumbai is better as a base as he's always travelling. Currently, he's away for a month to Sweden, Canada and New York for squash tournaments." So what's the status quo on their relationship today? "It's difficult to explain and I don't want to be misunderstood. We are cautiously exploring the relationship.

The media played Cupid and pushed us closer, but Ritwik will always be my friend, philosopher and guide. Now that he's moving here, we'll have more time to connect. It might turn out to be a very fruitful relationship, but I am being cautious as I don't want to lose friendship to love. We have to give each other time," says Dhupia candidly.
