It's
time
for
a
reality
check
-
publicity
gimmicks
are
slowly
replacing
hardcore
news
stories.
Contrary
to
reports,
the
marriage
of
Arbaaz
Khan
and
Malaika
Arora
is
still
going
strong
and
the
story
is
just
a
publicity
gimmick
for
a
skin
cream
advertisement.
Said
a
source
close
to
the
couple,
"It's
a
publicity
gimmick.
The
split
rumors
are
from
a
skin
cream
advertisement,
which
Malaika
and
Arbaaz
will
be
endorsing
together."Describing
the
concept
of
the
ad,
sources
add,
"The
ad
will
show
how
the
love
has
gone
from
their
marriage
and
how
they
renew
it
again
with
the
skincream.
They
will
have
four
phases
and
weddings,
where
Arbaaz
and
Malaika
will
renew
their
marriage
vows," added
source.
The
source
further
reveals
that
parents
of
Arbaaz
and
Malaika
were
very
upset
and
disturbed
at
the
stories
about
their
split.
They
had
to
spend
the
whole
morning
clarifying
with
family
and
friends
that
the
story
was
not
true.
A
couple
of
months
ago
Priyanka
Chopra
and
cricketer
Sreesanth
were
also
part
of
a
publicity
stunt
for
a
soap
brand,
where
tapes
of
their
'private
conversation' had
been
released.
