Kriti Kharbanda confirms dating Pulkit Samrat

It has been a couple of weeks since dating rumours about Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda first made it to headlines. While some people thought the two were indeed a thing, others believed that nothing was brewing between the duo and that they were just co-actors. When the media tried to ask them directly, they did what every celebrity couple does in the beginning of their romance: laugh it off.

However, Kirti Kharbanda has now admitted that she is indeed dating the Fukrey (2013) star. When asked about the reason behind keeping their relationship so secret so far, the actress said that she wanted her parents to know first about it.


“No, they are not rumours. We are dating each other. In all honesty, I wanted my parents to know first that I’m dating someone and when you start seeing someone, it’s I think there’s a time for everything when you’re comfortable talking about it,” the actress told a leading publication.

Kharbanda, who was most recently seen in blockbuster comic-caper Housefull 4 (2019), went on to add, “Sometimes it can take five years; sometimes it can take five months. In our case, it was five months, but I am in a very happy place and I have no qualms admitting that I am dating Pulkit Samrat.”

Meanwhile, Kriti and Pulkit are presently busy promoting their upcoming film Pagalpanti. The rib-tickling trailer has worked really well among the audience and now everyone is waiting for the release of the movie. Also starring John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Ileana D’Cruz and Urvashi Rautela in important roles, Pagalpanti is directed by popular filmmaker Anees Bazmee. The movie is scheduled to hit the marquee on November 22, 2019.

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
