Last year saw a spate of divorces amongst the high powered bollywood couples. Listed below are some of the prime reasons.
There was the quiet divorce between Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan Roshan. They had been childhood sweethearts and have two sons. There were various rumours about the Hrithik’s romance with his various female co-stars and allegation of substance abuse.
The heart throb of 2000s, Karishma Kapoor tied the knot with Delhi based businessman Sanjay Kapur in 2003. Unfortunately the marriage was on rocks right from the beginning. They are currently undergoing a messy divorce process, with both sides throwing allegations at the other. The custody battle has currently become fodder for the gossip columns.
Farhan Akhtar shocked his fans and B-Town friends when he and his wife, Adhuna Bhabani, announced that they were ending their 15-year long marriage. There were rumours of Farhan becoming close to his ‘Wazir’ co- star Aditi Rao Hidkari.
What is that makes marriages so fragile in the glamour world? Is it the constant glare of media that acts as a drift between the couples or the insecurity and trust issues?
Media link ups are a part and parcel of actors lives. Usually before the release of a new movie, the PR machinery go into over drive and rumors of an affair between the lead pair starts floating. Where at times it in only to generate excitement for the movie, there are cases when there is truth in them.
Such news must be playing havoc in the personal lives of these actors. At times, actors spend long shooting schedules together, in close proximity which leads to short term relationship between them. Also their erratic schedule does not allow them a lot of family time. Loneliness and need for companionship leads to relationship among actors till the time the movie schedule is on. This was true in the case of Aamir Khan who found his current wife, Kiran during the shooting of ‘Lagaan’.
Thought difficult to believe, at times money is also a bone of contention between these couples. Since they lead a high flying life, their cost of living is high, which leads to stress and finally anger in between the couple.
There is rampant drug and alcohol abuse in the industry, leading to a lot of break ups and splits.
However, there are some couples in the industry who have faced all the above issues and are still going strong. They have crossed the hurdles together and have rightly earned the title of the golden couple. Among them are Shahrukh and Gauri Khan, Jackie Shroff and his wife Ayesha Shroff and Anil Kapoor and his wife Sunita Kapoor. Let’s hope the younger generation take learning from these long lasting marriages.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
