Love
in tennis means zero, but in real life it can take several forms - jealousy,
obsession, and most scintillatingly, adultery. It has the power to transpire
miracles, and can also ignite a seven year itch, well let's say 20 years for
the sake of this story. This story started 20 years ago, when this guy with a
don like charisma entered Bollywood with much style and hope. Carrying his wife
in his arms wherever he went, he became the poster boy for a perfect Valentine
tale. Revered and loved by all, soon he became a star, belting out one
blockbuster after another. He continued to rule Bollywood for 2 decades as the
King, associating only with the best of the best in the industry. However, his
reputation took a hit after being embroiled in several off screen
controversies.
The same
star has now been rumored to be dating a top actress in the industry. Though
always known as friends, it seems like their love for each other has blossomed
to a whole different level. Although neither of them has ever spoken about
this, a little birdie said that they have gone as far as tying the knot. To add
a cherry on top, he has brought a new house for her lady love somewhere in the
Middle East. This might seem a bit too convenient to believe in, but their
chemistry has been noticed by the whole country and words have described their
alleged affair before.
Their
association started in 2006 with a thriller and since then their life has been
a thrill to watch. Since the release of their first movie together, they got
close and came into scrutiny of the public eye. Understand that if the public
is watching than so is the media. Disregarding what the public was talking about
them, they continued their friendship and jumpstarted the rumors while they
were slowly fading away. Their friendship could have been interpreted in two
ways, either they were really good friends or they were going around and
fooling the world. But we all know how it was interpreted. As they have never
spoken or accepted any allegations, it is hard to find the sweet spot and prove
the story, but it has been evident in the eyes of the public. People have
tweeted, blogged, and put up Facebook statuses about it.
But this
shouldn't be that hard to believe in! It's Bollywood after all, its where the
most beautiful and charming people in the country are, and beauty is a cruel
mistress. Everyone is embroiled in more than one controversy. For some it is
accidental, while for the rest it's intentional. Bollywood is a separate
universe in its own stride, where the normal rules of society don't apply.
Tolerance has forgotten its purpose here and dishonesty has found a new hole to
thrive in.
