Bollywood romances sell because of picture-perfect love stories! The butterflies, the mush, the unconditional love—it’s all there. But is life that dreamy? Not really. Not even for the stars who give us this fantasy of “happily ever after” and more often than not, it’s their own doing. Scroll down for a list of celebs who were accused of cheating on their partners:
Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir was labelled as the kanhaiya of B-town and rightly so! The actor did his fair share of raas leela before settling down with Alia Bhatt. Back in 2007, Ranbir and Deepika were Bollywood’s hottest couple. But their relationship ended on a rather ugly note. Allegedly, Ranbir cheated on the actress. Deepika even talked about catching her ‘ex-boyfriend’ red-handed! “I was foolish enough to give him a second chance because he begged and pleaded, despite the fact that everyone around me said he was still straying,” she said in an interview. Later, even Ranbir confessed to “cheating out of immaturity”.
Saif Ali Khan
The Nawab of Pataudi has always been in the limelight for his love life. In 1991, he married Amrita Singh despite a 13-year age gap between the two. Things appeared all good for a while. But what led to the downfall of their 13 years of marriage was Saif’s proximity with Rosa Catalano, an Italian dancer. Amrita even revealed to a leading daily, “I was bored of Saif’s infidelity on many occasions.” However, Saif never admitted to cheating and maintained that their marriage failed because he fell out of love with Amrita.
Mahesh Bhatt
Love, sex, and controversies—that’s Mahesh Bhatt’s love life in a nutshell! The renowned director was married to Kiran Bhatt when rumours of his affair with Praveen Babi started doing rounds! Mahesh didn’t deny any of it and openly confessed his extramarital affair in an interaction with a leading daily. He said, “I was married to Kiran, had a child, and was responsible for both of them. Still, my physical self was drawn to another woman!” However, Mahesh and Kiran decided to give each other another chance and stayed married for seven more years. But it was destined to fall apart. Mahesh and Kiran called it quits after he found his soulmate in Soni Razdan.
Bhushan Kumar
India’s top music producer and T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar recently made headlines with rumours of an extramarital affair with Nora Fatehi. Some claim that Bhushan’s wife Divya Khosla Kumar is okay with her husband’s infidelity as they are in an open marriage!
Amitabh Bachchan
The world knows about the epic Silsila of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Apparently, their secret relationship started on the sets of Do Anjaane in 1976, despite Amitabh being married to Jaya Bachchan. From rumours of their secret meetings to Rekha announcing her eternal love for Amitabh on Rendevouz With Simi Grewal, their alleged love affair never stopped making the headlines.
Dharmendra
Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur at the age of 19 but he never stopped the search for his ‘dream girl’! He met Hema Malini on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawaan and fell head over heels in love. After five years of dating, the Sholay actor finally decided to tie the knot with her in 1980! But Prakash Kaur denied to give him a divorce. This is when Dharmendra converted his religion to Islam to marry the actress.
If getting cheated on wasn’t distressing enough, imagine your heartbreak becoming a household story. My heart goes out to all these celebs who were cheated on!
