The Polygamous Tale of a Superstar


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.
