Rashmika Mandanna–Vijay Deverakonda Wedding: Why Stars Keep Their Relationships Private

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda were dating for years, but never said anything openly. It's not just them, many stars do this. So what's the real reason? Why do they hide their love life?

Many celebs keep it a secret

From Sandalwood to Bollywood, many stars say 'we're just friends' and then suddenly get married. The reason is simple: celebs face way more pressure than us common folks to keep their love life private. In the glamour world, even a tiny hint becomes breaking news.

Impact on career

For actors, their 'single' status is a big deal, almost like a market value. Fans often have a crush on them. Producers fear that if fans find out their favourite star is in a relationship, the craze might just die down.

Brand endorsement

Many companies want to sign single celebrities who are 'youth icons' as their brand ambassadors. So, if a star's relationship becomes public, they might lose out on some big ad offers.

Excessive interference from paparazzi

Once a love story is out, the media and paparazzi are constantly on their tail. Where did the couple go? What did they eat? Did they have a fight? Every single thing becomes a headline. This non-stop watch creates a lot of unwanted pressure on their relationship.

Confusion of 'link-up' news

In the film industry, it's very common to spread affair rumours between co-stars just for movie publicity. But couples who are genuinely in love don't want their special relationship to be treated like a cheap 'publicity stunt'.

What if the relationship breaks?

Imagine if a couple makes their relationship public and then they break up. The public, society, and especially social media trolls can be very cruel and add to the pain. So, many prefer to stay quiet until the wedding is confirmed.

Personal Privacy

Celebs spend their whole day in front of the camera. It's natural that they want to keep their personal life completely private. They feel there's no rule that says they have to share everything with the world.

To avoid the evil eye

You know how elders say, 'don't talk about good things before they happen, or it'll catch an evil eye (buri nazar)'. It's the same logic. Many stars feel it's better not to announce their love until they are actually getting married.
