When good friends break-up - Rajeev Masand
This week's column by Rajeev Masand in Open Magazine .
Every time they were linked, she insisted the stories were fabricated—that he’s been a close friend of the family, that her parents have known him for years, that they were nothing more than just ‘good friends’. Yet the rumours didn’t stop—that she was spotted dropping in at his home well past midnight, that she’d camped out with him at a studio once it was too late to drive back home, that his girlfriend at the time was becoming insecure about their closeness. According to the industry grapevine, the actress is no longer infatuated with her older co-star, who for his part literally breaks into a rash at the mention of her name. Notorious for his kiss-and-tell habits, the actor has revealed to friends that the heroine’s mother was fully aware of their fling and often sent home-cooked meals for him when her daughter came visiting. He has also said that the actress’ brother, on more than one occasion, was asked to keep watch under his building for nosey family members or friends, when the actress was ‘spending time’ with him at his home. The actor has said he won’t sign any new films with her once they wrap the one movie they’re currently shooting together.
