Will Mallika Sherawat Usher in some romance?

Mallika Sherawat is single. And from the looks of it, very ready to mingle. Especially if the man goes by the name of Usher.

Yes, folks, you read it right. Bollywood's hot siren just might be dating American R&B singer Usher.

Apparently, all is not well with Usher on the family front, and he is going through a painful separation from his wife Tameka Raymond.

An Associate Press report on cbsnews.com confirmed that Usher and Tameka were staying apart for nearly a year before filing for divorce.

The report also stated that the twosome, who got married in a glitzy ceremony in August 2007, went their separate ways since last July.

Mallika first met Usher at the annual Better Educated Students for Tomorrow lunch at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles recently and got along like a house on fire. Soon after that she even Tweeted raving that he was so handsome and that he has promised to dedicate a song to her.

Mallika has always been outspoken about everything, except her love life. In fact, the actress has not dated a Bollywood personality yet.

Will we see some R&B in her Hollywood film, Hissss, now? Or better, a little bit of Mallika in Usher's music videos? Let's wait and watch.
