Shocking divorces

It usually begins with a Once Upon a Time and ends with a Happily Ever After. With their picture-perfect nature, celebrity marriages play out like fairy-tale romances in our mind.

Reality, however, is no fantasy and everlasting relationships can be a myth. Even the seemingly stable, made-for-each-other pair can decide to call it quits.

Manisha Koirala-Samrat Dalal

Barely one year after tying the knot to Nepali businessman Samrat Dalal in a traditional ceremony, Manisha Koirala discovered he's not the one for her.

Unable to carry the encumbrance of a depressing relationship, Koirala filed for divorce.

More recently, the star of Bombay and Khamoshi has been in news for her rousing battle against cancer.


Hrithik-Sussanne

The shocking split of Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne owing to 'individual choices' is a heartbreaking reminder of these brittle, breakable bonds. They usually were spotted together in all bollywood events.

Here's are few of Bollywood's equally unexpected marital break-ups.

Aamir Khan-Reena Dutta

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta were 18 and 20 respectively when they began dating.

The Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak star concealed his marital status for a while so that it wouldn't affect his upcoming career. Its exposure didn't affect his fan-following and the duo went on to become parents to two kids, Junaid and Ira.

The end of their solid 16-year-old marriage came as a discourteous surprise to everyone. What's exemplary is how Reena continues to share a pleasant relationship with her ex-husband and his new wife, Kiran and their two-year-old son, Azad.

Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh

Despite a 12-year age difference, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh tied the knot in a hush-hush ceremony.

The odd couple seemed very much in love even after a decade of matrimony and two children, Sara and Ibrahim and spotted together in bollywood parties and events.

Rumours insisted Saif Ali Khan outgrew the relationship and began seeing Italian model Rozza Catalano on the sly. True or not, the Omkara actor did fall in love again with Kareena Kapoor and they got married last year in an intricate ceremony.

To Amrita's credit, she has raised her children to generously embrace the new developments in their dad's life.

Sanjay Dutt-Rhea Pillai

Model-turned-Art of Living enthusiast Rhea Pillai stood like a support of strength by Sanjay Dutt's side when he was doing time in prison. When he came out, the two got married without any hubbub.

Only Dutt's busy work schedule and Pillai's attachment to tennis star Leander Paes resulted in them drifting apart and resulting in a bitter divorce settlement.

Both Rhea and Dutt have remarried since (to Paes and Manyata respectively) as well as turned parents.

Pawan Kalyan - Reena

Pawan Kalyan and Reena was happy couple till Pawan met with Anna Lezhneva.
Pawan and Reena separated legally and finally, anna got married to Pawan Kalyan. Now she is staying with her 2 children and her husband in Hydrabad. 

Kamal Haasan-Sarika

Kamal Haasan and Sarika were said to be involved while the South Indian superstar was still married to his first wife, Vani Ganpathy.

After he officially separated with the latter, Sarika and he were in a live-in relationship till the birth of their daughter, Shruti.

They married in 1988 had another daughter (Akshara) but reports of Haasan's constant disloyalties took its toll on their 16-year long marriage and ended in divorce.
