Celebrated Indian star Sonali Bendre has lately reacted to earlier linkups and dating rumors with co-stars by completely denying them, also revealed such rumors were previously floated out by producers without even actors’ consent, just for the sake of promotions.
In an interview with News18 Showsha, Sonali Bendre revealed that she has often been linked up with her male contemporaries in the '90s and made headlines for the same back then. Elaborating on it, the actress shared that gossipmongers would weave stories about her affairs and fights with her contemporaries, but most of the time, the reports were not even true. She said: “Gossips and newsmakers jumping to conclusions – be it about who you’re seeing or the affairs you’re having or even the fights you’re having with your co-stars – come under the gamut of ‘where did that come from?’ And most of the time, such things that were written about me weren’t true at all.”
Speaking along the same lines, Sonali added that while it’s a prevalent trend even today, earlier producers used to intentionally spread such rumours to the media in order to increase the buzz surrounding their films. She also mentioned that actors are now asked to clear the air around their dating buzz, but back then, they were never asked about it. Sonali added: “These days, actors are at least asked if they would want link-up rumours with their co-stars to be floated around. During my time, we weren’t even asked and those gossips would just be out there to promote the film and the actors had no choice.”
Sonali Bendre is currently on a promotional spree for her web series, The Broken News 2, in which she will reprise her role as a credible journalist, Amina. The actress has previously acted in some iconic films, including Diljale, Hum Saath Saath Hai, Naaraaz, and Duplicate. In her personal life, Sonali is married to filmmaker, Goldie Behl. However, back in the day, the actress fell prey to yellow journalism and made many headlines for her dating rumours with her co-stars.
