Link-up rumors in Bollywood are common, and some actor or actress is always in the news for their relationships. However, most of the time, these relationships stay hidden, and news of the couple getting married or breaking up eventually comes out.
The same thing happened with the alleged relationship between Bollywood’s badshah, Shah Rukh Khan, and the desi girl, Priyanka Chopra. However, there is still no confirmation, but the rumors surrounding them were very strong at that time.
It all started when Priyanka and Shah Rukh were shooting for the film “Don” and “Don 2”. Soon after, they were seen together most of the time at parties and outings. However, Shah Rukh was married, and his wife, Gauri Khan, was upset with this relationship, leading to turmoil in their marriage. Gauri then banned Shah Rukh from working with Priyanka, and they never did any film together after “Don 2”, which was the time when these rumors started to flourish, but they all kept quiet about it.
In an old interview during the promotion of his film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which also stars Katrina Kaid, Shah Rukh Khan finally broke his silence on Priyanka Chopra. The actor stated that it was very disturbing for him as the lady who had worked with him was questioned and not shown the respect he shows her. Shah Rukh was quoted as saying, “To me, what is most disturbing is the fact that a lady who’s worked with me has been questioned, and somewhere down the line, she’s not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women. I think it’s a little disrespectful.” While apologizing to his fans, he added, “I’m extremely sorry about that. Sorry means… it’s not directly because of anything I’ve done but because she’s my friend. She’s one of the closest friends I have, very close to my heart, and always will be.”
However, the secret still remains undisclosed, and during that time, according to gossip mongers, there were even rumors of a secret ‘Nikah’ in Toronto. But all this never came out in public and remains a hidden saga.
