There have been persistent rumours about Tarun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba being in a serious relationship, with reports of their dating doing the rounds since last year.
Their off-screen chemistry and vibe were widely discussed and appeared promising.
However, that buzz failed to translate into box-office success. Their first film together, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi, which released last weekend, turned out to be a complete washout at the box office.
More than just a flop, the film was a non-starter. It failed to register any noticeable opening collections and remained dull throughout the weekend.
Clearly, the hype surrounding their personal lives and alleged romance did not convert into ticket sales.
While audiences showed curiosity about gossip related to the duo, there was little interest in watching them on screen.
As a result, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi has gone down as one of the notable recent failures.
