Actor Prateik Babbar is on his way to becoming controversy’s favourite child. Last heard, he was seen having a public spat with his then girlfriend at a city restaurant. And on Thursday, the actor stepped out with a mystery girl, whom sources identify as a model and aspiring actor, Evelyn Sharma, at designer Anamika Khanna’s offsite after-party in Mahalakshami.

On lookers say that Prateik walked in past midnight, only to be engaged in an animated conversation with Evelyn in a corner. “Evelyn looked a little upset and soon she walked off to the washroom while Prateik placed around in the same spot.

When she returned, the two of them started talking again and were completely oblivious to the crowd around them,” says the source. Society whispered insits that the two were once an item!
