The whole of Hyderabad was wondering whether news of Prabhudeva and Nayantara getting married was true or not. The news of the marriage was shown in the tele-prompter on most of the local channels for the entire day, prompting the scribes to try frantically to talk to either Prabhudeva or Nayantara or both. But to their dismay, the scribes found out that the cell-phones of both of them were switched off.

The aides and assistants of both the artistes feigned ignorance about the news of their employers. Last heard, Prabhudeva had replied to a question on his alleged affair with Nayantara that it was his 'personal' matter and nobody had any say in it. The mobile number of the particular journalist who had spoken to Prabhudeva on that occasion was also continuously busy and was said to be ringing incessantly.

The scribe was 'requested' by others to get in touch with Prabhudeva at any cost to get to know the truth and blurt it out. But little did they know that the journo didn't try to talk to Prabhudeva at all. Reason? At the end of the 'personal matter' interview, Prabhudeva had reported asked the scribe not to 'expose' the question about Nayantara and his reply to the question. What happened was the contrary, as the journo painted the town red with the news.

Earlier, the rumours linking Prabhudeva and Nayantara grew stronger, as Nayantara had the name 'Prabhudeva' tattooed on her wrist. When queried by a scribe, Nayan said there was nothing wrong harm in 'tattooing' a friend's name.

It may be recalled that Nayantara said a few years ago, immediately after the much-publicized split with Simbu, that there would never ever be another love affair for her. Now she has tattooed the name of her 'friend' and that has triggered rumours on her marriage.

Will Nayan or Prabhu Deva explain as to what is going on?
