John and Genelia’s sham marriage

Vipul Shah lashes out at the pandit who claimed to have got John and Genelia married

It is a clear case of a man seeking his 15 minutes of fame. The much-hyped story about Genelia D’Souza and John Abraham getting married has finally been negated. And the man responsible for spreading the vile rumour, a pandit named Bhagwat Guruji, who was recently quoted in the media about John and Genelia’s supposed marriage has finally been proven a liar.

Much evidence has been stacked up against the said pandit’s word as producer Vipul Shah clearly stated that John and Genelia never got married and that the ‘saat pheras’ required for validating a marriage were not conducted. The pandit has hence been proven to be using the film’s impending release to gain some publicity for himself.

The wedding scene in question was shot in Malshej Ghaat a few months ago and in the exact same manner that such scenes have always been shot for the big screen in the past. Sources close to the film reveal that the wedding sequence was not shot in tandem and that a bevy of makeup artists and stylists helped John and Genelia with wearing the ‘mangalsutra’ and garlands.

Producer Vipul Shah is furious that his lead actress is in the middle of a fake controversy. He says, “Countless number of weddings have been performed in Hindi cinema but this is the first time that I have come across someone so keen to be in the limelight that he can go far enough to claim to have married Genelia D’Souza off! I don’t hold anything against Pandit Bhagwat Guruji but will not let anyone point fingers at the leading lady of my film in this manner. He is only looking out for his ‘15 minutes of fame’ without any real standing. The whole incident is bizarrely shocking and there is no truth to it at all. Any such claims should be dismissed as a desperate attempt to gain attention.”

On behalf of Genelia D’souza, her spokesperson states, “The bizarreness of the pandit’s claims is astounding. It is extremely unfortunate that someone would try to take advantage of just being in the same scene as Genelia D’Souza in this manner. This truly is an eccentric attempt to grab the headlines.”
