There"s
something
about
real-life
couples
coming
together
on
the
Bollywood
screen.
Their
films
don"t
seem
to
be
working
at
all
at
the
box
office.
This
seems
to
have
become
the
golden
rule
these
days.
In
the
year
2009,
Kurbaan
being
the
latest
example
of
a
real-life
pair"s
film
failing
at
the
ticket
windows.
Explains
a
trade
source,
“It
is
probably,
with
so
much
of
media
boom,
the
audience
gets
more
than
its
dose
of
the
real-life
star-couple"s
antics
because
of
which
there
may
be
no
charm
left
for
them
to
see
the
same
pair
on
screen.
But
then
this
was
not
the
case
in
the
good
old
days
when
stars
were
very
discreet
about
their
affairs
and
would
not
go
about
flaunting
them.
Also,
media
was
not
half
as
intrusive
then.
Whatever
the
reason,
it
seems
risky
to
cast
love
birds
in
the
same
film
today.
More
so,
after
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif"s
Yuvvraaj
tanked
at
the
turnstiles.
Much
like
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Shahid
Kapoor"s
Fida
bombed
at
the
box-office.
Their
Jab
We
Met
clicked
but
it
was
released
only
after
the
two
had
split.
