There were rumours more than a year ago about Sara Khan and Ali Merchant being married, but the couple always denied it.
Now just when they are about to tie the knot in the Bigg Boss house, the rumour has started again and is stronger than before. BT spoke to a few people close to the couple who revealed that Sara and Ali did have a registered marriage after which she was living with his family in Kandivali. Subsequently, the couple moved to a rented apartment in Lokhandwala and have been living there since then.
So what's the whole drama on Bigg Boss about, then? Clearly Sara's closeness to Ashmit Patel in the initial days of the reality show, after declaring that Ali and she are no more a couple — which prompted Ali to make an entry in the house, and now the big wedding today — is all pre-planned. Rahul Bhatt, who was out of the house last week, too has reportedly said that this wedding is scripted.
There's also an email doing the rounds that Ali and Sara have been paid around Rs 50 lakh for this. Whether Ashmit became an innocent victim here is unclear. But then, tellyland is buzzing with rumours of even that. Apparently the three know each other well and had a dinner meeting before the show.
