Most Bollywood actress today want their personal lives to be anything but an open book

The motto of I-keep-my-personal-life-personal seems to have stuck on like glue. While the likes of Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu have waxed eloquence about their romances, most others have preferred to keep things private. Here's looking at five actresses we wish would not act so coy about questions on their so-in-your-face love lives.

Katrina Kaif

After a relatively long fling with Salman Khan, this Hong Kong-born actress has been routinely linked to her co-stars. But she always preferred to maintain a dignified silence. Nobody knows for sure what's really going on?

At one point of time, there was John Abraham in the picture and now there is a buzz of her going strong with Ranbir Kapoor. With Kat's car being spotted parked opposite Krishna Raj on more than one occasion, sometimes pictures talk more than words, no?

Priyanka Chopra

What you PC is not what you get. The former Miss World has generally been hazy whenever her love life was put into question. Said to be romantically involved - over the years - with names ranging from Akshay Kumar to Harman Baweja to Shahid Kapoor, the gossipmongers have taken a break on the tight-lipped Priyanka. Or is it just a temporary lull?

Anushka Sharma

The otherwise feisty actress turns completely dull when she's enquired about her beau - if at all he exists, that is. Coming from a modelling background, with a model boyfriend in arm, Anushka gradually moved onto the big boys. Paired with colleagues like Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, it's hard to guess who the busy beauty is dating nowadays.

Sonakshi Sinha

With her mom apparently accompanying on the sets, it's a bit tough to see Sona in a relationship. However, the 26-year-old has managed to stave off rumours linking her to any of the veteran actors she has worked with so far. Professional success clearly seems to have created vacuum in the personal space.

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam might be an admirable fashion icon but she's also one of those who pose all alone on the red carpet. Perhaps her parents' near-perfect love story might be a cause of concern, as Sonam says she wouldn't want to go through the lows of Bollywood breakups ever. And she claims to be single. So did Genelia D'Souza before she dashed off to marry Riteish Deshmukh!

Rani Mukerji

She is rumoured to be dating an industrywala, who is known to be notoriously media-shy. Looks like the actress too has adopted the motto of silence is golden.

Quote-unquote Prahlad Kakkar
`As far as the actresses are concerned, they either prefer to stick with silence or with the standard 'We are friends' statement. In most cases, there's no alternative. Besides, there's a fear of being misquoted and unnecessary pressure being put on them. At the end of the day, they are here to work, ` - Prahlad Kakkar, ad filmmaker
