Nehru in love with Lady Mountbatten ?

Just saw the news piece in CNN-IBN. Pamela Mountbatten, daughter of Lord Mountbatten , the British point man in India during independence , has claimed in her book that Jawaharlal Nehru and her mother were in love. She has made clear though that the love was not physical but more " platonic" in nature.

What is more interesting is , Pamela claims her father knew of this relationship between his wife and Nehru and sometimes even used this closeness between them as a tool to unlock complex political negotiations that seemed to be going nowhere. Quite revealing.
