Actor Sunny Deol is busy preparing for the release of his upcoming film 'Botwara 1947' with Preity Zinta. While his marquee image on screen in Rupoli is eye-catching, Dharmendra-Putra has always preferred to keep his personal life off-screen away from the limelight. He hardly opens his mouth in front of the media about his family or personal relationship.

But despite this, over the years there has been no end to Balipara buzz about his tumultuous relationship with actress Dimple Kapadia. Although these two stars have never publicly commented on the matter, there is no end to the curiosity of the fans. Recently, veteran photojournalist (paparazzi) Ramakant Munde brought to light an unknown chapter of that old golden age of Bollywood.

He told the story of how stars were photographed long before the current social media and paparazzi culture. At that time, entertainment photographers had to follow an 'unwritten rule', recalling Ramakant Munde in a media interview, they were strictly instructed not to frame Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia together. He said, "Every now and then they were together on the sets, events or functions.

But they both did not like to be photographed together. Everyone in the media knew this." Munde also said that whenever Sunny and Dimple attended the same event, the unwritten rules were conveyed to the photographers. In his words, "There was a subtle message spread among the photographers that if they were together, we would not be allowed to take pictures.

Usually one of their team would come and request us, or some sign would indicate that taking pictures is prohibited here." He also talked about how the working style of the media has changed with time. According to Mund, the demand for celebrity news in those days was not what it is now. Newspapers or magazines of the time emphasized more on the glamorous pictures of actors' fashion, jewelry, makeup and glamor than on their personal lives.

Like today, the general audience was not so interested in the personal relationships of the stars or who they were hanging out with. As a result, who is meeting whom—this type of film had little news value at the time.
