The recent spate of mudslinging between the two stars of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut, has metastasised into a litigation. What started as mere police complaint, has clearly gone overboard.
The recent spate of mudslinging between the two stars of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut, has metastasised into a litigation. What started as mere police complaint, has clearly gone overboard.
However, it would not be the first time that the film industry stands witness to such slur and controversy.
Here's a look at 7 of the couples of the tinsel town, that did not quite work out.
1. Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut
From filing an FIR to a legal battle - things turned ugly real quick for the Krrish star Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut. This is still the hot topic of discussion, and it can only be hoped that it ends well for the two.
2. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan
Both the stars have never spoken about the turbulent relationship between them. There were rumours about abuses and one public incident of Aishwarya's ex Vivek Oberoi making public allegations at Salman Khan. Though Aishwarya has spoken about Rio Olympics controversy surrounding the 'Sultan' star, the duo is set to compete against each other when their movies, 'Sultan' and 'Sarbjit' hit the theatres on same day.
3. Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur
Actress Karisma Kapoor filed a dowry harassment case against her estranged husband and his mother, and also alleged domestic violence. The two have been engaged in litigation for the past the past five years, since their divorce, over the custody of their children, Samaira and Kiaan.
4. Jessica Hines and Aamir Khan

5. Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan
On 2002, at Amitabh Bachchan's birthday party, the engagement of the two was announced. Suddenly, the next February, they announced their break up. There has been a roster of rumours on why that happened. However, nothing conclusive has come off it; looks like it is going to stay a mystery.
6. Parveen Babi and Mahesh Bhatt
Although their's was a story of love and not the regular mudslinging, it came to a sad demise after Parveen Babi was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Treatments failed, as did their relationship.
7. Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan
Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan - a contention that has been an epitome of all the controversies that came after it, is certainly an indelible mark in the history of Bollywood.
