Actress Amy Jackson, who made her debut in Bollywood in 2012, was reportedly in a relationship with Ryan Thomas, who plays a role on the British television show Coronation Street. It was reported that Ryan and Amy had officially broken up after dating for seven months because they were unable to make their relationship work due to their hectic work schedules.

The Daily Mail reported that despite the unfortunate circumstances, the two will continue to be friends.

Prateik Babbar

In 2011, actor Prateik Babbar met actress Amy Jackson on the set of the romantic drama Ekk Deewana Tha. Soon after, the two started dating. But in 2012, the couple broke up.

But that didn't just mean good things for him. "The movie was good. But then I fell in love with that girl (Amy), and everything went wrong. And that just... how do I say this in the simplest way possible... I think the bad time started when I broke my heart there. When you're 25, heartbreak hurts in a different way. Then I just disappeared," he said.

In an interview with Hindustan Times in 2012, the actor admitted that they were dating. He had said, "I'm usually shy, but Amy brings out the best in me. She's the prettiest girl in the whole world. "She's a beautiful diva, but she's also a very simple person at heart," he said. "We both did it. Our courtship can be summed up by saying, "We had one date, and now we have another." In 2017, the actress told DNA she hadn't talked to him since they broke up. "We haven't talked to each other at all. Not because I can't be friends with an ex. I don't think it's impossible for old friends to stay friends. "But we haven't talked since then," she said.
