5 celebs who fooled us with their love stories

Bollywood's bombshell Mallika Sherawat grabbed headlines when she announced her wish to find a soul mate on national television, and her search ended on contestant Vijay Singh from Dharmshala whom she chose as her love. But within two months of finding true love, news about Mallika and her new found soul mate Vijay Singh’s relationship going kaput started doing the rounds. Well, Mallika is not the only example of celebs who have fooled audiences with her lovey-dovey romance on the small screen.

We take a look at few others...

Any publicity is good publicity and drama queen Rakhi Sawant swears by this phrase. Be it slapping her ex, Abhishek Awasthi, on national television, or finding a life partner on TV, the lady has done it all. However, after announcing to tie the knot on national television with the winner of her show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, the item girl took a big U-turn on her D-day and ended up only getting engaged to the winner Elesh Parujanwala. Within a few months of getting engaged, Rakhi broke off her relationship with Elesh.

At one time, Veena Malik and Ashmit Patel seemed to be head over heels in love with each other. They not only raised the temperatures in the Bigg Boss house with their chemistry, but also took the TRPs of the show to new heights. Their physical intimacy inside the Bigg Boss house looked so real that everyone thought this relationship would grow even after the show was over. But soon after coming out of the house, the stars behaved like strangers.

Rakhi Sawant's Swayamvar opened doors for many female celebrities to earn instant popularity and moolah on the small screen. And the Agle Janam.. girl Ratan Rajput followed suit and decided to tie the knot on the small screen. Ratan, who got engaged to Abhinav, apparently made up her mind and decided not to get married to Abhinav. It was also reported that their relationship had gone kaput. The reason behind her decision was reportedly a mismatch in the stars of the two individuals.

The failed romances of these celebs are a proof to the fact that their relationships come with an expiry date. Sara, who was in a steady relationship with Ali Merchant before entering the Bigg Boss house, soon became the talk of the town, all thanks to her closeness with Ashmit Patel. And to create an interesting twist, her boyfriend Ali Merchant was sent inside the house. What followed next, was a grand and controversial wedding where Sara and Ali married on the show. But even their nikah could not stop the couple from parting ways later.
