Bollywood: Real romance vs. publicity affairs

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha They created magic on screen. Off screen, the gossip glossies were on an overdrive suggesting the Big B and Rekha were more than mere co-stars, despite the actor having married Jaya Bhaduri in 1973. In 1981, Yash Chopra cast Jaya as Bachchan’s wife and Rekha as his lover in Silsila. It was a casting coup
 
DILIP KUMAR & MADHUBALA The co-stars of K. Asif’s epic Mughal-e- Azamshared an intimate relationship for eight years. The romance ended because Madhubala’s dominating father Ataullah Khan reportedly discouraged her from marrying Dilip Kumar. Even if they had an ugly break-up, it is said that she always loved him.
 
MITHUN CHAKRABORTY & SRIDEVI The two fell in love on the sets of the 1984 film, Jag Utha Insan. Rumours suggest Mithun wanted to divorce Yogeeta Bali. When she refused, he reportedly married Sridevi secretly. A film magazine even published the marriage certificate. Yogeeta reportedly tried to commit suicide after this, so the couple chose to split.
 
RAJ KAPOOR & NARGIS Bollywood’s golden couple of the ’60s co-starred in more than 16 films, mostly produced by his RK banner. Tales of their off-screen bonding are legendary, and the chemistry was visible on screen too. Raj Kapoor even used one of their famous romantic poses as the logo of his banner. Their relation ended on a bitter note.
 
Ranveer Singh & Anushka Sharma Anushka Sharma is said to be irked by Ranveer’s roving eye. At a recent do when Anushka bumped into Ranveer, she coldly chose to ignore him. Despite a blow-hot, blow-cold relationship, they will be seen together in Ladies Vs Ricky Behl.: It is too early for the onefilm- old Ranveer to settle down. Anushka, who is barely three years into her career is not too keen on a steady boyfriend either.
 
Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra They are neither friends, nor lovers but only “colleagues”. The duo met on the sets of Vishal Bhardwaj’s 2009 film, Kaminey. Around the time, Shahid was nursing break-up sores after Kareena Kapoor left him for Saif Ali Khan, and Priyanka was the perfect balm. 

 
 
Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif Just when whispers had started about Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif being an item, and that it was all over between her and Salman Khan, came the twist.Ranbir fell for his Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakhri, and Katrina, it is heard, drove off to Pune to seek ‘guidance’ from her ex Salman, who was shooting there for Bodyguard. On his part, Salman quickly took back Katrina in his camp by agreeing to cast her in his upcoming film, Ek Tha Tiger. As of now, Katrina says she is single, and “good friends” with Salman and his family.
 Salman and Katrina came close shortly after his break-up with Aishwarya Rai. Soon, he was helping Katrina - then a struggler - shape her career.
The buzz is they fell in love on the sets of their 2005 hit, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kya. By the time they did the 2008 dud, Yuvvraaj, she had become too big a star to sign a film just because he wanted her to.Reportedly, her refusal to do Veer in 2009 hurt Salman. He started promoting her lookalike Zarine Khan and she fell for Ranbir
 
Ranbir apparently came to know about Katrina’s ‘secret’ Pune trip even before she reached there, and it was over
