90s gossip is back in the feeds, but do those rumors still color how fans view today’s celebs? A retro catalog—Govinda and Rani, Aishwarya Rai’s crush on Govinda, Karisma Kapoor’s on-screen pairings, and Bobby Deol rumors from POST 1—meets a meta-history lens on how media once framed stars from POST 2. Do those stories echo or drift apart from today’s narratives?

Retro Gossip Highlights - Govinda and Rani were said to be headed toward marriage; after the split, Govinda asked for the flat back, which Rani refused. [1] - Aishwarya Rai had a huge crush on Govinda; they danced till morning at a party. [1] - Saif Ali Khan was smitten with Twinkle; he reportedly signed three movies with her back-to-back, though none found lasting success.

[1] - Karisma Kapoor liked Bobby Deol; their debut together was shelved, then they did two films together. [1] - A note on the Gulf Tour of actresses: money and glam were part of the era’s spectacle.

Old Media Echo Chamber - The line “Some old bollywood stories make current actors look like saints” frames today’s contrasts with a glam past. [2] - Sridevi tied a rakhi to Boney Kapoor to pacify rumors about Mithun Chakraborty; the tale lives in fan recollections. [2] - Modern chatter stresses that social media would tear stars apart now, a contrast to the era of larger-than-life PR. [2] - Even long-running myths—like rumors around Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini—meet scrutiny when health histories and timelines are checked. [2]
