Down South, the MGR- Jayalalithaa love saga was given a cinematic touch by Mani Ratnam in Iruvar. In 1993, NTR aged 70,the charismatic actor and three-time chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, shocked the public when he announced his decision to marry Lakshmi Parvathi, a Telugu writer and his biographer. She was the biographer of his two-volume book, which was published after his death.

Tiwari refused to take a DNA test but finally accepted that Rohit is his son born out of Ujawala Shekar, the then Congress women’s wing chief. Ujawala’s father was Tiwari ‘s guru.
Pakistani journalists seem to play a role in the love life of Indian politicians. Much before Shashi Tharoor was blamed by his wife for an affair with a Pak journo, Captain Amarinder Singh ex-Punjab CM was linked with Aroosa Alam, a Pakistani journalist, who denied that they were lovers and were only friends. Captain on a trip to Pakistan met Aroosa Alam, daughter of Rani General Akleen Akhtar, an influential politician.
