Bollywood's fake affairs

Shahid Amrita
Though Shahid Kapur and Amrita Rao embarked into their Bollywood journey together with Ishk Vishq, Vivaah kick started rumours of the two being romantically inclined. There were also speculations that during those times Shahid was very much in relationship with Kareena Kapoor who was quite miffed with the reports. And they hit the bonsai as people thronged theatres to see the deep-in-love pair. But later everyone realised they are just good friends.

Shahid Vidya
After being once bitten by the love bug very badly, Shahid Kapur has decided to be as shy as possible. So he, apparently, hooked-up with Vidya Balan on the sets of Kismat Konnection to help him get over Kareena. The news spread everywhere that the two are seeing each other and Vidya is taking utmost care to help Shahid get back to his normal self. However, as soon as the film released and was acclaimed an average, Shahid and Vidya went separate ways as if nothing had happened between them.


Ranbir-Sonam
Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor are childhood buddies so when they started working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya, they hit it off instantly. Immediately the rumour mills got active and churned the news of the two being in love. Many newspapers went to the extent of clicking pictures of the two entering a restaurant and having a cozy dinner. Around the same time, there were also reports of Ranbir getting close to Deepika Padukone. Even before people could figure out who’s the girl the Kapoor lad was seeing, Deepika announced her love for Ranbir. Thus, another promotional love affair went kaput.

Priyanka-Hurman
This was one affair, which was so cleverly executed that people were made to believe that Priyanka Chopra and Hurman Baweja are a committed couple. Wherever they promoted their film Love Story 2050, they were seen so much into each other that nobody doubted it could be a promotional fling. However, with film’s release, its flop show at the theatres and an immediate break-up, it became crystal clear that it was just another promotional stratagem to get the crowds to theatre which too flopped as the film.

Ranbir-Bipasha
Playing a Casanova in Bachna Ae Hasseno had taken its toll on Ranbir Kapoor. Rumouredly, Bipasha Basu and Ranbir Kapoor gelled like house on fire. A few ‘insiders’ claim that they were so much into each other during the shoot that even Deepika Padukone was feeling shaky. Even at press meets or TV shows, the two were seen having the maximum words while the other two damsels Deepika and Minissha Lamba were actually in distress. However, as soon as the film released, the buzz of the actors getting intimate died its natural death with none of them bothering to explain the reasons.

Shahid-Priyanka
Ever since Shahid Kapur came out of his sudden break-up with Kareena Kapoor, he went on a dating spree jumping from one co-star to another. When Kaminey came into being, there were reports of Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra getting cozier than you generally need to with your co-star. Immediately, people started spotting them at restaurants or roads roaming hand in hand. But as the film’s release date is approaching, the two have allegedly ‘split’ as their purpose was served. They managed to make people wonder how they would look together.

Hrithik-Barbara
Hrithik Roshan only recently had the prestigious tag (a rarity in Bollywood) of being a one-woman-man. But this image suffered a severe dent when Barbara Mori came flying into his life through Kites. Immediately, every newspaper was abuzz with a whirlwind romance between the two, which shook Bollywood. However, a few hisses and sighs later, it was discovered that it was cleverly done publicity stunt by the Roshans to see that their Kites fly far and wide even before its promos hit the television screens.

Salman Khan-Claudia Ciesla
Katrina Kaif had once revealed that Salman Khan is a very easy nut to crack especially if anyone breaks down in front of him narrating one’s predicament. Such is the way Salman Khan first met German based singer Claudia Ciesla. And so deep was his passion to get the babe noticed that rumours of Sallu dumping Kat for Claudia started making headlines. A few days later, it was learnt that it was just a promotional blitzkrieg to bring Claudia into limelight for her film Karma: Crime, Passion Reincarnation.

John-Katrina
When you do an issue-based movie, you need a support system to fetch the crowds and what a better way to get that by spreading rumors of an alleged romance between the lead pair. Same thing happened with New York’s lead stars John Abraham and Katrina Kaif whose friendship on the sets of the film became a hot topic of discussion. Thereon, news of Katrina dumping Salman to latter squirming in his seat hit the headlines. But as soon as the film released and the moolah gained, everything was back to normal as quick as it was deformed.

Kunal-Soha
Soha Ali Khan courted many boys in her small tenure as an actress. While her link-ups with Rang De Basanti actor Siddharth began after the film’s release, her alliance with Kunal Khemu began on the sets of Dhoondte Reh Jaoge. She then did another film with Kunal, 99 and the rumours of the two being madly in love made rounds of every tabloid. The makers of DRJ, to cash in on the pair’s affair, spread that the ending of the film has been changed according to Kunal and Soha’s liking. However, within days of the films’ release, their much-talked about affair turned out to be another hoax call.

Adhyayan-Anjana
While people were shocked to hear about Adhyayan Suman and Kangna Ranaut’s hook-up, they were amused to hear regarding Adhyayan and his Jashnn co-star Anjana Sukhani’s rumoured affair. After all, as few of the sources close to Suman said, Kangna is elder to Suman Jr. and they don’t look good together. Anjana, however, was not amused and announced that she’s not seeing Adhyayan. But people chose to believe the rumour and it turned out that Anjana was right. It was just a promotional tactic to pull the crowds, which didn’t go down well with the audience who discarded Jashnn, out rightly.
