Break Ups And Hook Ups: Back In Trend Before Movie Releases?

Have you ever wondered what’s common between Kareena-Shahid and Katrina-Ranbir? Or infact what’s common between Big B- Jaya and Dharamendra- Hema Malini?

No, not their movies, or family tree in the former case. It’s something we all noticed, but no one spoke about!

Think again!

More than anyone else one person who has really tasted success post his separation with his wife Shweta, is none other than Pulkit Samrat. Again, ‘incidentally’ the news of his break up broke the internet around the release of his movie, Sanam Re, starring Yami Gautam and Urvashi Rautela. Accept it or not, his massive popularity because of this news did drive people to the theatres and the film overtook Katrina’s Fitoor!

The Aashiqui 2 couple’s aashiqui hit the roadblock post the release of the movie, to an extent that these dark times in their personal life, seemed to be a boon for their career! The movie experienced massive success at the Box Office and heart-break was not that hear-breaking after all!

This was the biggest shocker for his fans in their lives! Farhan Akhtar's divorce was announced near about the release of Wazir. We’re still coping with it and if rumour mills are to be believed, he is moving in with Kalki Koechlin.

Fitoor had a sad fate and so did the relationship of Ranbir and Katrina. No one could see this coming because the duo was happily living in with each other for a long time. One fine evening when Katrina was addressing the media at the press conference of her movie Fitoor, the news broke the internet and so did the movie, quite literally.

KSG and Jennifer Winget

The two call it quits when KSG and both Winget were making their Bollywood mega debuts. Though Jennifer had worked in movies before, her next titled Phir Se with Kunal Kohli got shelved because of copyright issues. The film still hasn’t seen the light of the day. KSG on the other hand garnered massive publicity post his second divorce and link up with co-star Bipasha during the making of Alone.

The news didn’t help Alone to gather people at the theatres, but once again, we saw a break up around a movie release.

The angry young man found love in Guddi aka Jaya Bhadhuri while filming their movie Abhimaan. They secretly got hitched in those times and the news was a rage, perhaps the best thing that happened to popularize their upcoming film.

The biggest shocker of 2016, the Pavitra Rishta is not pure anymore. Sushant Singh and Ankita Lokhande have split! Their relationship is in bad waters just about time when MS Dhoni – The Untold Story is gaining buzz. We wonder if this is going to help SSR anymore.

May the force be with them, is all we have to say! Honi ko kaun taal sakta hai!
