Rain, thundershowers in Delhi

     New Delhi: Meteorological NP Hugh and Jemima hit rock bottom London: It seems all's not well between Hollywood heart throb Hugh Grant and his girlfriend Jemima Khan, as the latter is tired of his reluctance to settle down. Jemima, reportedly rang the "Notting Hill" actor in New York where he is shooting his new flick to tell him she is sick of his non-committal ways. "I can't go on living like this," Jemima sobbed over the phone. It is the latest episode in a string of rows about his failure to commit and his continuing closeness to ex-love Liz Hurley. "It's very sad. They are apart and this really looks as if it could be the end. Jemima's had enough of Hugh not committing. She can only put up with so much. She still loves him but he's just like the ageing bachelor character he played in About A Boy," a source was quoted by The Newsoftheworld, as saying. "Her patience is running out. He is mad to treat a stunning, wonderful woman this way. He doesn't know how lucky he is. They've been having huge rows and Hugh doesn't have a clue he's pushing her away. This has been a long-running problem. Usually they'll kiss and make up but this time it's different," he added. The cracks in their relationship started a year ago at Elton John's White Tie & Tiara Ball. Guests were stunned to see Liz Hurley sucking Hugh's finger as a joke. But upset Jemima didn't see the funny side of it.
