When it comes to marriage rumours, Telugu film star Prabhas appears to be giving a very tough competition to Bollywood star Salman Khan. Ever since the 38-year old actor became a household name following the mega success of SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali’, the rumours have been occurring with an increased intensity.
The recent buzz is that the actor is getting married to actress Niharika Konidela, niece of superstar Chiranjeevi. But just when the fans were coping with the rumour, Chiranjeevi rubbished it. The megastar of Telugu cinema went on to say that these are just baseless rumours; there is no truth associated with it and they need to stop now.
Niharika made her debut in Oka Manasu in the Telugu film industry and probably would feature in a new venture starring Amitabh Bachchan.
Prior to this, Prabhas was linked with his Baahubali co-actor Anushka Shetty. The actor had to himself squash the rumour mills.
“When we first worked together we had decided that at no cost we would allow rumours of our linkup to float around. We have been friends for nine years now. We are very good friends. We have known each other for years but I admit sometimes when such stories start doing the rounds, then I too start wondering if there is indeed something between us,” a leading daily quoted Prabhas as saying.
“We know that we are not romantically involved. By the way, this is nothing new — when an actress works with an actor in more than one film, then people tend to make them a pair,” the actor added.
Meanwhile, Prabhas is busy with the shooting of ‘Saaho’, which will feature Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor opposite him.
