If they hadn't spoken on each other and completely avoided such questions, then they could have been given the benefit of the doubt. Katrina has been advocating her "one is single until marriage" theory in vain, because this is neither acceptable in India nor even in the West. Moreover, she did confess her breaking up with Salman a while ago, so what was the need for that then? Ranbir and Katrina have categorically denied their link-up on several occasions. Ranbir, in fact went even a little over board in his denial of dating Katrina in a couple of his interviews. If they were really too private about their lives, being public figures they could have been extra cautious about their relationship. They want to enjoy parties together, spend holidays, walk to restaurants and bars...and still they have the guts to dodge the media.
I strongly feel that the media should teach a lesson to these celebs who exploit as and when required but have no accountability towards media or even the common public for that matter.
