Love Stories: The reel the real

Love Stories: The reel the real LOVE is in the air. And how! When it's not Aishwarya Rai Bachchan paying a flying visit to hubby Abhishek shooting in Jaipur, it's Sanjay Dutt tying the knot with girlfriend Manyataa. Or Kareena Kapoor rushing over to be with Saif Ali Khan. Not to forget the newly-minted star Deepika Padukone's little romance with Yuvraj Singh,

her friendly patch-up with Ranbir Kapoor and

his alliance with socialite Nandita Mahtani

who was once dating Dino Morea.

Dino of course has reportedly found love

with Lara Dutta whose relationship with

long-standing paramour Kelly Dorjee went kaput a while ago.

After John and Bipasha reverted

to their conventional consenting selves post a quick,

hush-hush holiday recently with talks

of an impending engagement confirmed only by

"sources close to the couple",

they have been replaced by

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif

as the question mark couple.

Are they,

are they not together is the

gadzillion- dollar question that is leaving many

a filmi scribe vexed.

Shilpa Shetty has come clean about oncemarried

suitor Raj Kundra,

who after bankrolling her musical and launching

the S2 perfume was in town firmly by her side

to host a birthday party for her sister Shamita

signalling that a wedding may be in the pipeline.

That Soha Ali Khan is dating Siddharth seems

to have passed into the factual realm too

as also Priyanka Chopra's association with Harman Baweja.

The jury is still out on whether

Celina Jaitley and Govinda

have something going and

whether Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan are an item.

Preity Zinta is on a steady keel

with the very dishy and much-in-love Ness Wadia.

Steady enough in fact for the cynics

to stop carping about a break-up just

because they haven't yet tied the knot.

Ayesha Takia and Farhan Azmi though not hitched

continue their journey together with minimum fuss.

As for the smug marrieds

of the industry,

King Khan and wife Gauri continue to impress

with the happy-to-be- together feel they exude.

Akshay Kumar and wife Twinkle displayed

their feelings in perfectly co-ordinated attire

at appearances they made at several dos about town.

Jaya Bachchan held fort rather bravely in the face

of MNS chief Raj Thackeray's attack on hubby Amitabh.

Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao continue

with their stoic silence over the purported

creative differences over the latter's directorial venture

while Ashutosh Gowariker and wife Sunita

are ready with Jodhaa Akbar, a love story with a difference.

Malaika Arora- Khan and Arbaaz Khan continue

in a state of marital bliss.

And

if their real-life camaraderie wasn't good enough,

Ajay Devgan and Kajol come together

again in two cinematic ventures.

Hrithik and Suzanne Roshan

are gearing up for their second child.

Zayed Khan is easing into playing father while

cousin Fardeen is the perfect doting husband.

Arjun Rampal and wife Mehr continue

to be the undisputed beautiful people

as do Farhan Akhtar and wife Adhuna.

Shekhar Kapur and Suchitra Krishnamurthy

have managed the impossible of keeping their

relations cordial for the sake of their child.

Rishi and Neetu Kapoor look like

the picture-perfect couple while there's some buzz

of a rapproachment between

Randhir Kapoor and wife Babita.

Dream Girl Hema Malini and Dharmendra

continue to be the much-in-love couple,

which is something that rings true of

Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu

(always by his side) too.

Clearly,

romance is one thing that

Bollywood never runs short of.

For the romantics and cynics

alike, there are plenty of

love stories to choose from,

and while at it,

On eve of a romantic Valentine's Day!

hahahahaha
