Evaluating Rajeev Masand's Blind item (2010)

"Maybe I married Saif 3 years ago and no one knows"

Flashback to one of Rajeev Masand's first blind items back in 2010.

THE SECRET NUPTIALS 
A high-profile unmarried Bollywood couple may be hiding a secret. This divorced male star who has been living in with his actress girlfriend for some three years now, was reportedly told off by his father for setting a bad example for his two kids. The actor's father, a distinguished former sportsman, was concerned that the actor's children from his previous marriage were being exposed to what he described as "immoral behaviour". 

The actor's father reportedly insisted that his son marry his girlfriend if they must live together as a couple, so his children suffer no confusion between what's right and wrong. However, since news of their marriage is likely to hurt the actress' thriving career, the couple is believed to have settled ultimately for a quiet, private ceremony at the actor's family home in north India where they were tied together in matrimony in the presence of his children. 

It has been decided, apparently, that news of the marriage will be kept secret for now, until the actress decides she wants to take a break from movies and start a family.

A couple of things that didnt make sense about this blind piece though:

Soha and Kunal are also living in together, and it didnt seem like the family had a problem with that.

Saif lived in with Rossa as well, but Senior pataudi didnt get them married.

If anything, it seems like the insistence to marry before living in might have come in from Kareena's family

Sucks though that Bollywood is a industry where actresses have such low value after they get married. 🤢

Oh my, that clever girl!

So my lovebirds have been married for years and I didnt know! *mind officially blown*

Now the hollywood blind tem...shit...those r fukin mind bogglers

 

Ok, here's some juicy khabar. My sources insist that Bebo and her Nawab are already married. Remember those rumours that claimed that they had a quiet Nikaah, some years back. Well, it turns out that it was the truth.

And now people close to the couple are openly talking about the 'wedding.' So why are Bebo and Saifu playing these cat and mouse games? Maybe that's why Kareena denies rumours of living in with Saifu since she's officially married to the man. So if this is true, why this whole drama of having another wedding? Well, my sources claim that both Saifu and Bebo were not ready to announce their shaadi to the world at that time. And if they have always claimed that they are not married, then they have to go through this charade of another official ceremony to shut all mouths. Oh dear! The games that some stars play… I'm feeling so dizzy that I need a break.

If this is true...then...Rajeev's item cant be completely true, or atleast not the details. Coz Rajeev's item implies they married AFTER living in together. She didnt move in with Saif until atleast 2009 I believe.

But the nikaah rumours cropped up in Feb, 2008, which would mean she married Saif literally a few months into the relationship, since they officially came out in October 2007 😲
