Bollywoods Beautiful Women and already Married Men

After reading my Hub on why some woman prefer married men for love, sex or marriage I got a hate mail from an Indian female that it may happen abroad but in India such relationships can be counted in fingers like a Dharmendra and Hema Malini or a Boney Kapoor and Sridevi. As an Indian who takes pride in my Indian Culture and upbringing I would be the last person to insult or hurt the feelings of a fellow Indian. My hub was about my views in general on the subject and the reasons why I thought some women dated or married already married men. It was a general hub and not about just Indians. In fact what or why a man or woman prefers someone is his or her own personal issue or preference.

Many Bollywood babes are seen preferring already married men. The latest addition to this is Shilpa Shetty. Kareena who is obsessed with the once married Saif Ali Khan also seems to be following the footsteps of her sister Karishma who married the once married Sunjay Kapur. Given below is a list of 16 Bollywood Heroines who are dating or married to an already married man who may or may not have been separated from their first wives.

Hemamalini :This Bollywood Dream Girl married actor Dharmendra who was married to Prakash Kaur and has four children with her in 1980.

Helen: Bollywood's former cabaret queen Helen married Salman Khans father Salim Khan in 1980. Salim had 4 children with first wife Salma at the time of marriage.

Shabana Azmi: In 1984 Shabana Azmi married Javed Akhtar who was married to Honey Irani and had children with her.

Jayaprada: Jayaprada married producer Srikanth Nahata who was already married to Chandra and had 3 children with her in the year 1986.

Sridevi: Sridevi married film producer Boney Kapoor who was previously married to Mona and with whom he had 2 kids in 1996.

Raveena Tandon: Raveena Tandon is married to distributor Anil Thadani, who was married to Natasha Sippy.

To Anamika S:

Thanks for being a fan, Anamika. I appreciate it. It seems that this habit of women dating and falling for married men is not a thing confined to western men. It is parhaps a human thing and happens all over the world. Yes, it is a risky thing for the woman, as she is doing something that is ordinarily considered as taboo. But in the Uk women seem to want the guy because he is experienced, or has a possible aura about him of maturity and the woman is looking for a more mature guy. It's worth pointing out that some men don't always happen to be in a neccessarily happy marriage, and may be at a point where they are going through a bad patch, or on the down-slope of the marriage. It's always tough for the kids, if there are any.

It is when the guy's wife finds out that the trouble really goes up a few notches! I am surprised that you got hate mail from anyone. It's a universal thing in human behaviour. Asian people should not feel shamed by just telling others or informing the world about something that is already known. This is a good Hub! You sure included plenty of names of Bollywood stars who have had the experience!
