	The "alleged romance" has been if I can remember correctly quite
spicily referred to by M.O.Mathai (Nehru's private secretary
when he was PM) in his masala book on Nehru. I don't recall the name of the
book. It was published in the 70's and caused quite a controversy.
	The affair also finds mention in Mountbatten's biography published
after his death.
