Not True: Saif-Kareena Shaadi, Sallu-Katrina feud 
By Faridoon Shahryar, February 9, 2008 - 14:48 IST
Bollywood was tabloid-struck yesterday by two news items pertaining to Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor marriage and Salman Khan allegedly slapping
girlfriend Katrina Kaif in a Bandra coffee shop. The rumour mills worked overtime and a day later, both the parties have issued official press releases
to clarify their stand.
It was reported that Saif-Kareena got married in a hush hush ceremony conducted by a Maulvi. There were quotes by Saif's mom Sharmila Tagore
who said that she was not aware about the marriage but then Saif had married Amrita Singh secretly and informed them later. "I am not getting
married for the next five years," said Kareena Kapoor
emphatically.
She further added, "The news is utter rubbish. I want to concentrate on my career, and marriage is definitely not on the cards for the next five years."
Incidentally, according to friends close to Kareena, both Kareena and Saif were quite amused too on reading the story. They are both happy
together and marriage is definitely not on their minds right now.
Recently, a tabloid also carried an interview with Saif's astrologer. A common friend adds that the astrologer mentioned in the report is a hoax.
Though Saif had met him a couple of months back, he was not in touch with him after that meeting. Maybe the astrologer (according to the friends)
is a cheap publicity seeker and wants to garner cheap publicity.
Even Saif seems very upset and he has issued a clarification. Says Saif "It is untrue, utter rubbish."
In the other news item that appeared in another tabloid, it was stated that bad boy Salman Khan slapped Katrina Kaif in a Bandra Coffee shop.
Reportedly, Katrina Kaif is extremely livid about the report. "Enough is enough, I have never talked about my personal life and don't intend to and
because I have always believed that what is
personal is personal. But this is too much. The story that has appeared is utter rubbish and fabricated. I suspect that it's been spread by vested
interest with ulterior motives. I would like to repeat that nothing of this sort has happened. Normally, I don't like to clarify but sometimes one has to
take a stand and this is one of one of those times," she said.
According to Katrina's friends, she has always believed in being dignified and keeping her personal life in the private domain. But she seems quite
upset when Salman is painted in a bad light and the fact is upsetting her more, and therefore she felt that she had to take a stand and put a lid on
the rumour floating around.
Two big scoops followed by two immediate denials. Now, one wonders where the truth lies. Is the media too desperate to resort to any means to
manufacture spicy news items? Or, the stars are also aiding the rumour mills to promote their forthcoming films? What according to you is the
'Sach'!
