Sonali Bendre on her link-up rumors
In a recent interview with News 18, Bendre spoke about her link-up rumors in the past. She confirmed that most of the time the stuff written about her link-ups, fights, etc was not at all true. Having said that, the actress believes that it is a trend that is prevalent even today.
The actress claimed that producers in the '90s used to sell such rumors to create a buzz around their films. She said, “These days, actors are at least asked if they would want link-up rumors with their co-stars to be floated around. During my time, we weren’t even asked and those gossips would just be out there to promote the film and the actors had no choice.”
The Broken News star concluded by saying that she found these things really strange.
