Ring a bell?

Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone’s ‘secret’ engagement sure rings in some cheer in otherwise the year of celeb break-ups. The duo reportedly got ‘reserved’ for each other with a ‘roka’ on the super-energetic actor’s birthday.
Unlike Hollywood wherein celebs are open to celebrate their relationships and also at times break-ups on their social media accounts, Bollywood is rather secretive. Here are some of the other ‘secret’ engagements some of which led to the altar, correction, ‘mandap’ here and also others that didn’t fructify.
The hush hush affair
Shahid Kapur’s engagement to a non-filmy girl 13 years his junior created ripples in early 2015. What garnered even more mileage was that the duo got into the ‘arranged’ marriage for their parents are followers of group Radha Soami Satsang Beas. On their wedding in July 2015 the cute couple posed for pictures for one and all.
• Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra kept a low profile till a shining rock on Rani’s ring finger in 2013 pointed towards a more meaningful relationship. The couple got married in a rather hush-hush ceremony that eventually made it to news in 2014. They are proud parents of a baby girl, Adira, now.
• Expect every single actress that Salman Khan is seen with to make news as his ‘to be’. Recently it was a picture of the Sultan star posted by Bina Kak (who also posted pictures of Romanian beauty Lulia Vantur) that led to rumours of couple’s engagement. Apparently a water droplet was mistaken to be a ring on Salman’s finger. (Really? Believe it or not, running in his 51st year, the universal Bhai still makes for one of the most eligible B town bachelors).
• Preity Zinta managed to keep her engagement and wedding rather private and LA corporate executive Gene Goodenough remained a ‘mystery’ man till the dimpled beauty herself shared details with the world.
• Well, you need not necessarily need a man to spark of secret engagement tittle-tattle. Actress Esha Gupta managed to do it with a sparkling solitaire that she posted on Istagram with ‘He asked and I said yes’. Later, she clarified it to be a joke.
Not so lucky
Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were rumoured to have got engaged in London on December 30, 2014 in a party hosted by Kaif’s family in due presence of the Kapoors - Neetu and Rishi. However, the former live-in partners have moved separate ways.
