Publicity stunts the latest trend in Bollywood IANS [IndiaGlitz.com], Monday, July 18, 2005
Whether the Salman and Aishwarya controversy is a publicity gimmick or not may never be known but there is no doubt that Bollywood seems to be getting bolder with its publicity stunts.
Such stunts in Hollywood are a given. So much so that Tam Cruise's declaration of love for Kate Holmes was met with severe scepticism as both actors had films ready for release.http://snipurl.com/gnvlIf you've got a movie to flout
Cause a stir just before it comes out.
Bend down on one knee -
"Marry me, Katie!"And the box office will soar, no doubt.
