The glitzy and glamorous lives of Bollywood celebrities are
often the object of fascination for common people, but even their lives are not
all hunky dory, as the numerous failed celebrity marriages reveal. After being
head-over-heels in love, several couples tied the celestial knot, only to part
ways later. While many terminated their marriage legally by obtaining divorce,
some remain estranged for different reasons.
Here are five of the many celebrity couples who have been
living separately, but are not yet divorced.
Karisma Kapoor and
Sunjay Kapur:
The celebrity couple is currently in news with regard to
their impending divorce, the petition for which they have reportedly withdrawn.
Actress Karisma Kapoor tied the knot with Delhi-based industrialist Sujay Kapur
in September 2003. Trouble started brewing and there were rumours of their
split up after the birth of their daughter Samaira in 2005, but the couple
reconciled and went on to have a second child - son Kiaan in 2010. But soon,
Karishma parted ways and came to live with her mother in Mumbai, along with her
children. The couple have been married for 12 years and although they have
filed for divorce, their marriage is yet to be annulled.
Pulkit Samrat and
Shweta Rohira
Bollywood actor Pulkit Samrat and ‘rakhi’ sister of
superstar Salman Khan had been dating for years before formalising their
wedding. The young couple tied the knot with the blessings of both the families
in November last year, in presence of Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan among
others. They were even reported to have secretly got married in 2010. Rumours
about a rough whether in their paradise was doing the rounds for some time, but
it was only earlier this month that Shweta confirmed that she and Pulkit are
living separately in different cities – Mumbai and Delhi respectively.
Ranvir Shorey and
Konkona Sen Sharma
Offbeat Bollywood actors Ranvir Shorey and Konkona Sen
Sharma came closer and fell in love during the filming of their 2006 movie
‘Mixed Doubles’. They started to live-in together and had been very secretive
about their relationship. They finally got married in 2010 in a close-knit
ceremony. Within one month the news of Konkona being pregnant started doing the
rounds and the couple welcomed their son in March, 2011. Rumours about their
marital discord were rife in 2013 and it was reported that the couple was
staying apart. Finally is September this year, both Konkona and Ranvir took to
their respective Twitter accounts and announced their split stating that they
will remain friends and co-parent their son four-year-old son Haroon.
Mahima Chaudhary and
Bobby Mukherjee
Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhary married architect Bobby
Mukherjee, a divorcee, in 2006 in a secret ceremony. She announced her marriage
only when she was expecting her child – a daughter who the couple named Aryana.
Rumours of stress in their relationship emerged in 2008 when Bobby was
embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife. He had to travel extensively
during which Mahima would stay with her parents. Apparently, the long-distance
relationship took a toll on their marriage and Mahima left Bobby’s Bandra house
to move with her parents in Lokhandwala, and living separately since. However,
they have not divorced probably for the sake of their daughter who is now eight
years old.
Sangeeta Bijlani and
Mohammed Azharuddin
The ex-Indian skipper Mohammed Azharuddin met former
Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani at a commercial shoot in the early 1990s and
immediately fell for her. After dating for a while, he divorced Naureen, his
wife of nine years to marry the actress, who was also said to have broken up
with Salman Khan. After a long-drawn legal battle and obstacles, Azhar and
Sangeeta tied the knot in 1996. Theirs too wasn’t a ‘happily-ever-after’ life
as the couple parted ways in 2010 following Azhar’s alleged link up with
badminton player Jwala Gutta. However, they have not divorced and Sangeeta was
also seen campaigning with Azhar during the 2014 general elections.
