Today’s first blind item is just something from Hindustan Times. It’s a little long and the Bollywood blind item bit is located at the end of the content. It is an interesting bit, which is true. Not the relationship part, but the part where her PR-people are bringing up this thing again to hype her up. Seriously though, for the moment, there is really no other way to keep her in the news. Things just pretty much wrote themselves when this famous guy commented on her picture. That’s how this story started, even though there have been stories about her this guy from way before. There were even blind items.

If he were a decent guy, like a clean guy, she could have gone for him but things ain’t the way they appear when it comes to him. He has cultivated a really nice ‘poor-me’ image, especially when it comes to his public love for this famous singer. As it turned out what he likes is having unprotected sexual alliances with paid ladies. That is how the child he kept hidden was conceived. Well, all this linkup between this young actress and this rapper is not true, so her daddy has nothing to worry about. Guess we will see more of these international fake linkups, courtesy of PC and one of the Jo’s Bros!

Take a look at the blind item below from HT.

Bollywood Blind Item

True Lies

It began almost two decades ago: this odious trend of enticing potential guests to social (read promotional) events by announcing a list of others who would be attending. Not only is this crass, but it is mostly self-defeating, because inevitably, the names on the list are the kind that you’d travel time zones to avoid. (Only recently, when we were invited to an ‘event’ with the added ‘promise’ that there were confirmations from the usual suspects – self-promotional experts famous for being famous – we were tempted to text back, “You gotta be joking”, but we had let it pass).

This malaise of hyper PR and insta-fame by the likes of those who will attend the opening of an envelope with a makeup team and publicist in tow brings us to the curious case of the young and pretty actress from a film background, whose career is not going the places it should. For the past few weeks, the grapevine has been buzzing with hints of her linkup with a mega rapper from abroad, one whose social media presence is stratospheric.

The problem is that the stories of a relationship between them appear to be ‘planted’ by her PR team, most likely to garner some attention and glam-up her image. As we say, “Forget fake news, we live in a world of fake noise.”
