Blind Eye: Superstar friend for benefits
By the time this reaches you, it should be old news. That superstar is dating that on-the-fringe actress. It's been a year a since the two have been keeping it low-brow. Why are they not open about it? It's because she is in a zen-state. And he's generally zoned out. She's beginning to return to the big screen in a big way.
First of all, she does not have a godfather, and when she kept inviting this superstar to her house, for parties and birthday, he turned up, and that opened a lot of doors. The people who are paying her 8 crores for a film, those guys helped her procure property at good rates. Now its her time to return the favour by doing their strange film. All this happened after the superstar took time out for her and helped her build a network.
About her career, she does not want to do a film with him, to state the obvious. They don't want to make it public. After a string of affairs, and this probably will do down as his quietest, the superstar is keen on keeping her because he feels she made it on her own and did not use him to get somewhere. Now that she is somewhere, he does not mind supporting her as it's essential for every actress to have a superstar backing her projects, getting her roles, etc.
The superstar has helped her sort fights with ageing heroes, bullies who threw her out of films. She has patched up with one irascible actor and will be seen with her in a biggie in early 2014. Infact, it could be her most prestigious project till date.
The superstar has even asked her to meet other people if she wants to, because theirs is not a 'and they lived happily ever after' situation. She has chosen to focus only on her career. Which makes them what? Friends with benefits? You can say that.
His vanity van stories have started becoming lurid. They are saying he's on the V-pill all the time since he can't benefit without it. He's also sobering with age, and she's perhaps the most sorted girl in the industry right now, unfazed by any kind of success or failure.
So that makes the two quite 'made for each other' types, no? What do you say, who are these lovebirds...
