Arbaaz Malaika split story a publicity stunt
April 20, 2008
Mumbai: Contrary to rumours, the marriage of Arbaaz and Malaika Arora Khan is going strong and the split story is a publicity stunt for a skin product launch.
“It’s a publicity gimmick. The split rumors are from a skin cream advertisement, which Malaika and Arbaaz will endorse together”, sources close to the couple said.
Describing the concept of the ad, the sources said, “The ad will show how the love has gone from their marriage and how they renew it again with the skin cream. They will have four phases and weddings, where Arbaaz and Malaika will renew their marriage vows.”
According to other reports, it’s not the cream but a gimmick to promote the couple’s upcoming Kannada flick Shaadi Ke After Effects, which is about marriage and infidelity, sees Malaika in a lead role.
While, Arbaaz and Malaika were ‘very upset and disturbed’ about the rumours of their split, a grapevine hinted that Arbaaz wanted to remarry!
When asked about the divorce on a television news channel, the couple reportedly neither confirmed nor refuted the news. While Malika could not be contacted for comments, Arbaaz didn’t deny the rumours, which include his desire to remarry.
“I am not going to discuss my personal life right now. You will get to know everything in due course”, he said to the television channel.
Publicity is the new trend and the couple’s golden sheen seems to be fading. With over a Rs 100 crore invested in the film, Malaika and Arbaaz have to do whatever they can to grab eyeballs. Who knows a surreal affair or divorce can sometimes create that market buzz. If Priyanka and Sreesanth can leak so called secret conversations to the media for a soap brand, this is just the beginning.
