Co-stars being linked to each other to generate hype around a film is not something that comes as a surprise, but have you heard about co-stars being warned to stay away from each other? After Brahmastra director Ayan Mukerji revealed he is the reason why Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have put their personal lives on hold, we did a little digging and apparently, they aren't the only ones to face restrictions on dating while working together. Read on to know more...

'Brahmastra' director Ayan Mukerji made jaws drop when he revealed that he was the one who stopped Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor from going public with their romance. The director said at the film's launch event that he cast the two in his film because he thought 'it was just too good'. However, it didn't take long for sparks to fly between the two co-stars. Ayan explained, "I didn't want the whole world to see them for these 4 years. I didn't want anyone to see them till my film had not come out. So, Lots of things haven’t happened in their lives because every time they went out together, I would be sitting at the back saying 'you all are ruining my film. Please don't go anywhere.'"

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' co-stars Tom Holland and Zendaya's instant chemistry on the sets left producer Amy Pascal concerned that her lead actors would start a real-life romance, so she advised them not to date each other. Producer Amy Pascal revealed that she advised Tom and Zendaya against getting into a romantic relationship with each other after they were cast as Peter and MJ. "Don't go there - just don't. Try not to," Pascal recalled telling them.

Sara Ali Khan's alleged romance with Sushant Singh Rajput became public long after their split. But, did you know it was Kareena Kapoor Khan who first raised eyebrows with her fiery statement? The actress, who was a guest on a chat show, was asked by bestie Amrita Arora, what dating advice she would give Sara. To this, Kareena promptly replied, "Don't date your first hero!" When host Komal laughed at her remark, Kareena insisted, "I have said (it)."

Sara made her Bollywood debut with 2018's 'Kedarnath', which had the late actor as the male lead. According to reports, the two were in fact in a low-key relationship and managed to sneak out under the radar.

Tom and Zendaya weren't the only 'Spider-Man' co-stars who dated in real life. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were among the most loved couples in Hollywood after they starred together in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' films. While Garfield played the superhero, stone played his love interest, Gwen Stacy. The two co-stars were also warned about dating each other by their producer Amy Pascal. In her interview, she said, "I gave the same advice to Andrew and Emma. It can just complicate things, you know? And they all ignored me."

Andrew and Emma dated for four years until they called it quits in 2015, a year after 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' hit theatres.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had fans around the world rooting for their romance that sparked off on the sets of the teen drama 'Twilight'. It was revealed that sparks flew between the couple while they were auditioning for the roles. Director Catherine Hardwicke opened up about how she warned Pattinson against dating Stewart right after their first audition together. However, she just warned him as Stewart was still under 18 years at the time. The two love-struck co-stars reportedly began dating around the time that the first Twilight film was released. They were together for several years, before calling it quits in 2013.
