Koena Mitra’s catty colleagues may think her Turkish boyfriend is a figment of her imagination. But that’s only jealous talk. At her birthday party on Wednesday night Koena proudly introduced Mete Meral to all her friends.

The Turkish boyfriend Mete Meral (“Please get the spelling right, ” she urges) is not just a pilot by profession but also part of a huge business empire.

From the looks of it the two are dead serious about one another and intend to tie the knot some time soon.
