No break-up, all's well between Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra

For all those who are worried about Alia Bhatt’s love life, here is some welcome respite from the tension. Alia is doing very well in her relationship with Sidharth Malhotra, whatever its status might be.

The Jacqueline-Sidharth link-ups are no more than frantic efforts to boost the potential ticket sales of the new thriller called A Gentleman.

A source informs, “Sidharth’s last film, Baar Baar Dekho, was a disaster. He doesn’t want to take any chances. He desperately needs a hit. He’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure that A Gentleman is a success.”

Jacqueline Fernandez

Ironically, Alia’s gone on to give hits with Sidharth’s closest rival, Varun Dhawan. Sidharth is yet to form a dependable couple with any heroine. Sources from A Gentleman team say that the actor is hoping he has finally met his match in Jacqueline Fernandez. On screen, that is. Sniggers a young actress close to Karan Johar’s camp, “Both Varun and Sidharth started off as Karan Johar’s blue-eyed boys. But Varun raced ahead. You think that doesn’t bother Sidharth? Sidharth is looking for a hit. And kissing Jacqueline until her lips go blue is part of the strategy.”

Apparently, stories of their lengthy kiss are being planted everywhere in the media.

“The truth is that 70 per cent of the kissing scene has been censored. But the film’s team is denying it. They want prospective audiences to storm in at any cost.”
