It is no coincidence that stories of Baahubali stars, Prabhas and Anushka Shetty’s purported marriage have resurfaced ahead of her new release.
A friend of Prabhas’ smirks at the shaadi rumours, labelling them as ‘a publicity stunt’.
The friend goes on to say, “It’s not Anushka who is doing this publicity. It’s the others who probably see marriage rumours as good promotion for her film. There is no truth in these stories. Prabhas and Anushka are only friends, nothing more.
They get along well and talk to each other about their projects. She even seeks his advice before signing a film. But that’s about it! There is no relationship beyond friendship.”
Moreover, according to the friend, Prabhas’ uncle, who has been hinting at wedlock for the actor, is not wrong. “But it will be an arranged marriage,” says the friend, adding that Prabhas is reluctant to even talk to women.
“And this kind of loose gossip makes him even more wary of keeping female company. The minute a female co-star or fan strikes up a conversation, Prabhas excuses himself. You won’t see him flirting with his heroines. If you visit the sets of his new film, Saaho, he keeps his distance from co-star Shraddha Kapoor even though she’s teaching him Hindi and he’s teaching her Telugu.
Professionally, he’s as close to Shraddha at the moment as he’s to Anushka. The press loves to see him as a couple with Anushka. But there’s nothing like that,” explains the friend.
Meanwhile, in the wake of these rumours, it is believed that Anushka and Prabhas have decided to keep distance until the release of Bhaagamathie.
“Just to avoid speculation!” comments the friend.
