The 'Other Women' of Bollywood

When steady relationships go awry, it is mostly due to the involvement of a third person i.e. the 'other woman', especially in Bollywood.

There have been innumerable instances when one individual strays from a rock solid relationship. Men in particular, find it hard to keep maintain their fidelity, which becomes twofold when it is a hot Bollywood actress on the other side. Here are some of the 'other women' of Bollywood.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif apparently got cosy with Ranbir Kapoor on the sets of their film while Ranbir was still very much with Deepika Padukone. Deepika kept no secrets about Ranbir's wayward ways and after Katrina's break-up with Salman Khan, the Ranbir-Kat romance was pretty much confirmed.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra reportedly evoked the wrath of Twinkle Khanna owing to her alleged affair with Akshay Kumar. Twinkle was so miffed with Priyanka that she banned her husband from signing any other films with her. The pair hasn't worked with each other since.

Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty was blatantly charged by Raj Kundra's ex wife for breaking her home. The ex-Mrs Kundra alleged that he was so besotted with Shilpa that their reconciliation became impossible. Shilpa, however denied being a home-breaker and that Raj was already divorced when she started dating him. Controversies apart, the couple are now happily married.

Kiran Rao

Aamir Khan reportedly started seeing Kiran Rao in 2001, on the sets of 'Lagaan', where Kiran was an assistant director. Technically speaking Aamir was still married to Reena Dutta at that time and they got divorced only next year. Aamir got married to Kiran three years later and are going pretty strong till date.

Rani Mukherji

Rani Mukherji has been linked to Aditya Chopra since a very long time now. Aditya Chopra divorced his wife Payal Chopra after seven years of marriage with industry insiders blaming the 'other woman' for the breakdown of their marriage. Rumours about the two getting married have been doing the rounds time and again, but both Rani and Aditya have maintained a dignified silence regarding the whole 'affair'.

Lara Dutta

After a long silence, mahesh Bhupathi's ex-wife, Shvetha Jaishankar, claimed that the relationship between Lara and Mahesh started while he was still married to her. She slammed Mahesh for treating her like a trophy wife and even said that Lara would fit in with his "ambitious streak". Lara, in typical fashion, denied the allegations stating a similar story as that of Shilpa Shetty (read above). Lara and Mahesh got married this year in Goa.

Preity Zinta

Shekhar Kapur's ex-wife, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy shocked everyone when she cited Preity as the cause of her divorce from Shekhar Kapur. She even wrote a poem titled 'Maneater' directing it towards Preity which raked up a major controversy. Preity vehemently denied the affair and even called Suchitra mentally unstable. Though the controversy has died down, it makes us wonder if anyone can make such tall claims without an ounce of truth in it.

Rekha

Their's was the most celebrated romance on-screen. Off-screen too, the two reportedly had a torrid affair, very much on the lines of 'Silsila', which Yash Chopra termed as "real life coming into reel life". Amitabh apparently set his priorities right and returned home to wife Jaya Bachchan leaving the world in fancy of the short-lived but amazingly mysterious love story.
