The WAG pressure
One notices a marked difference in behaviour of some male celebrities, thanks to the influence of the women in their lives
SONALI JOSHI-PITALE
THEY say that couples, over time, begin to look alike. Now while that is debatable, one does see a change in behaviour of some men, as soon as they commit themselves to a woman. The men start making a deliberate change in their lives, mostly to please the women they love. Male celebrities are no exceptions.
A recent instance would be that of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli. The two have never admitted to being more than friends, but by now we know that the couple spends a lot of quality time together as and when time permits.
Anushka recently took a break from her shooting schedule to fly to the UK, where Virat is currently playing as part of the Indian cricket team. He too dropped in on the sets of her film, NH10, to spend time with her on her birthday.
Now it has emerged that the cricketer has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to permit Anushka to join him on his England tour.
Clearly, love does make the world go round...
Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande
Lowdown: Sushant Singh Rajput has been dating Ankita Lokhande for a quite some time now and the two are living together in their suburban flat. There has been a lot of speculation about their relationship status; rumours have it that the couple has even tied the knot and is just waiting for the right moment to announce the same. And while the duo remains tightlipped about the status of their relationship, their friends say that it is Ankita who calls the shots in their equation.
" In the early days of his career, Sushant was very friendly and he would hang out with friends, but under Ankita's influence, he has become more of an introvert now.
He is not so easily approachable anymore thanks to Ankita," says a source.
Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor
Lowdown: Ranbir Kapoor would happily pose for the shutterbugs, but after he started seeing Katrina Kaif, he prefers being more private'. This has led to some not so pleasant run- ins with the media. Katrina, for one, has not had an easy equation with the media and not so long ago, when pictures of the couple's holiday in Ibiza were leaked out, she saw red and dashed off a letter to the media expressing her displeasure.
It may be pointed out that Ranbir too has got into a tussle with photographers in the recent past. The actor, once known to be mediafriendly, is hardly comfortable getting photographed now.
Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij
Lowdown: Television star Jay Bhanushali, who made his big screen debut last week with Hate Story 2, has recently been in the news for the wrong reasons.
The actor allegedly walked out of promotions for his film on a whim. It is being said that he has become a bit of an introvert post his marriage to TV actress Mahhi Vij.
Sources close to him say that he was a lot more outgoing before his marriage.
" Interestingly, Mahhi too was very talkative and friendly before marriage. But now both of them seem to have changed.
Looks like their social behaviour is a thing of the past," says the source, adding that the couple's friends are surprised to see this change.
Gurmeet Chaudhary and Debina Bonnerjee
Lowdown: Gurmeet Chaudhary and Debina Bonnerjee's common friends point out that the former's behaviour and outlook has changed since Debina entered his life. It turns out that Debina apparently doesn't like Gurmeet interacting with other women at parties and get- togethers. The source says, "She keeps an eye on Gurmeet and doesn't approve of him talking to other women. Gurmeet apparently doesn't want to pick a fight, so he does as Debina says."
