Click to play videoNew Delhi: French President Nicolas Sarkozy and model-turned-singer Carla Bruni are on a romantic getaway in Egypt. Frame by frame this couple has been making international headlines.
Sarkozy doesn’t mind the paparazzi nosing into his love life, but Bill Clinton and Lady Diana both had to pay a heavy price for the media's interest in their love affairs.
So is it fair to bare the private lives of public individuals? Before the Indian media gave in to market demands and adopted the tabloid culture, there was a phase when scandals were given a miss.
Be it Mahatma Gandhi and Sarla Devi or the friendship between Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten, Kalyan Singh and Kusum Rai, Uma Bharati and Govindacharya, MGR and Jayalalitha, their love stories never made it to the headlines.
But with the entry of tabloid culture and 24-hour news channels, Indians love to know the love life of their leaders.
So much so that now a Kannada movie called Mukhyamantri, I love You takes a look at the rumoured affair between former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and Kannada actress Radhika.
