Reel deal: Love triangles that boast of alleged real pairs!

Kapoor & Sons is on everybody’s minds not just for the incredibly good looking cast, but also for the hot pairing of supposed couple of B-Town, Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. The duo hit it off right from their debut flick together and seem to be living it up in the party circles. There were rumours of the pair heating things up at a popular photographer’s launch function as well…oooh! So what’s cooking? We wouldn’t know for sure, but we can take you through a list of other such reel love triangles where one of the pairs had a rumoured off-screen love as well! Read on: Bajirao Mastan: In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone played star-crossed lovers to T. Well, their crackling chemistry is said to be the reflection of their real life affections for each other. Well, we should dial up their co-star and Deepu’s bestie Priyanka Chopra for on-set updates, eh? Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam: Another SLB movie and another real-to-reel affair. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan were said to be an item during the filming of this flick. Just like the movie, where Ash’s character chooses Ajay Devgn’s over Salman’s, the light-eyed beauty got hitched to Abhishek Bachchan instead of Sallu. Fida: While Kareena Kapoor-Khan and Shahid Kapur were a rage at one time when their real life love stories began doing the rounds. Their reel pairing, however, failed to create any spark at the box office. Despite a thrilling plot, cool twist and a loved-up jodi, Fida didn’t add any laurels to the careers of Bebo, Shahid and Fardeen. Sangam: Turning on our flashback mode, we take you through Raj Kapoor’s glorious alleged affair with South siren Vyjayantimala Bali. The pair starred together in many movies and were said to be having a raging affair. Even though Vyjayantimala denied the affair in her autobiography, Rishi Kapoor talked openly about his father’s affair. Well, whatever the reason, the made for a sexy onscreen couple in Sangam. Pyaasa: Another classic movie that had a romantic undertone was Pyaasa. Guru Dutt and his protégé Waheeda Rehman supposedly had such a torrid affair that it broke up Dutt’s family and drove him and his wife to pitiful deaths. Which ‘love-triangle’ is your favourite?
