Amrita Arora's ex hasn't taken off the tattoo of her name

Mumbai: Amrita Arora's ex-beau Usman Afzal still sports the tattoo that has her name inscribed on his arm. He had also inked the date 20.11.04 they first met.

Even though the actress split with the English county cricketer last year and has recently tied the knot with Bandra-based Shakeel Ladhak, Amu remains on the forearm of her former flame!

Says a source, "It is not a big issue for Usman. As he has been continuously playing cricket as the captain of the Surrey team, he can't have his arm in a bandage. It will affect his game. Even though Amu and Usman have gone their separate ways, the families are still in touch with each other."

Usman's brother Aquib Afzal is currently in Mumbai to promote his debut flick, Let's Dance. Admits Aquib, "The tattoo is still on my brother's arm. But it is no big deal. It is not that he is keeping it as a memory. For him, it is now a fashion statement. As for when will he erase it that's the big question."

As reported ('Usi's brother is no bother'; Hitlist, May 29), Aquib adds that his family and is still in touch with Malaika, Arbaaz and Amu. "We respect each other and we are still friends. Apart from being friends there is also a common interest love for cricket," says Aquib who has played for Nottingham-shire county and now hopes to make a career in B-Town.
