A recent blind item by The Opinionated Indian stirred a lot of talk. It made claims about a married Bollywood A-lister and his alleged habit of straying. The piece says the actor, who has worked for years even with a mixed record at the box office, supposedly had an affair. It places the alleged relationship during the time he was shooting a gangster film. It also says the other person was a female character actor.
Blind item
This A-lister has the image of a happily married man. Not many know of his womanizing ways. He dated several beautiful women before getting married. One of his releases this year was a flop gangster flick. As per a source, while shooting for this gangster flick with one of his favorite directors, he hooked up with a female character actor. The character actor in question is not a striking beauty but has done several bold scenes in her career & is an accomplished actress. She is a few years older than the A-lister. The A-lister hooking up with a much younger heroine would be mundane news, but him hooking up with the character actor makes us wonder whether he has a fixation for older women.
People keep talking about that blind item. A lot of this comes from the way it describes the actress. She is seen more as a performer than as a standard Bollywood leading woman. The same post also mentions the actor and claims he likes women who are older and have more experience. That detail is now part of the chatter around his personal life.
Still, it is important to note what this source is. A blind item is not proof. These are just claims, and no one has confirmed them with solid, independent evidence.
The two actors have also been in the industry for years, so they are not strangers in the professional sense. They have met through work at different times. Even so, the timing of the blind is what people find more fun to discuss. Now, gossip circles are bringing back older rumours about the actor. They also repeat talk about how he gets close to his female co-stars.
None of these rumours should be treated like fact unless there is real confirmation. But the blind has, for sure, given people more to argue over.
