In a country where craze for Bollywood often reaches insane limits, celeb lives form a major part of living room conversations. While a few stars do not have any qualms opening up on their romances, most others ferociously guard their personal space – although the paparazzi allows them little privacy.

A secret late night dinner or a movie outing with that special someone has rarely managed to escape the attention of Page 3 shutterbugs. But celebrities generally act coy and prefer to keep their lips pursed when asked about their oh-so-evident love lives. Many a time, however, industry folk have squealed on their pals or colleagues, leaving them flushed – like Karan Johar did to Ranbir Kapoor on a reality show. When the actor declared his love for chicken dishes, KJo pulled his leg saying probably he meant ‘Chikni’ and not chicken. Now we know Katrina Kaif, his rumoured ladylove, had danced to the Chikni Chameli item song in Agneepath (2012). hitlist points out a few such ‘leaks’ from the past…
At the unveiling of Yash Chopra’s statue in 2013, veteran star Shatrughan Sinha aka Shotgun shot his mouth off carelessly as he addressed Rani Mukerji as Rani Chopra. The actress was then said to be dating YRF boss Aditya Chopra and there were rumours that the duo had secretly wed in 2012. Sinha refused to take back his words which had caused much embarrassment to Rani. As we know, she officially became Mrs Rani Chopra in April last year.
In another instance in 2011, Ranveer Singh had committed a faux pas by referring to Rani Mukerji as ‘MD’ of YRF on a chat show without taking her name. Host Karan Johar asked Anushka Sharma if she thought she could act better than all other actresses and she said, ‘Yes, barring one.’ Before she could name the person, Ranveer blurted out, ‘MD?’ We would have thought he meant Madhuri Dixit only if KJo didn’t say, ‘Oh, let’s not go down that path.’
