Bollywood Celebs Who Cheated On Their Wives

Love looks beautiful and easy in Bollywood films. From exchanging flirtatious glances to getting married, filmmakers often showcase ‘happily ever after’ on the silver screen. However, things are different in real life. The glamour world is full of pretty faces where one can easily get distracted. This is probably the reason we continue to hear gossips about celebs having extra-marital affairs. Some realities are in front of us while a few celebs manage to brush it off under the carpet. Do you think, it is easy to accept your partner after knowing that he cheated on you? There are some B-town celebs who have done this but were lucky enough to get forgiveness of their wives.

However, speculations about his love for actress Priyanka Chopra soon started doing the rounds. Both the stars did a couple of films together. It is said that when Twinkle came to know about the reality, she forgave Akshay on the promise that he would never contact or do a film with the former beauty queen.

In fact, Kangana herself opened up about the physical abuse in that relationship. During a press conference, the Manikarnika actress said, “It was a very difficult and very harsh time. I was physically abused. I don’t have to go to details. I felt trapped. You feel people might help you. But there are no free lunches. But when you are going you fall for it. This man who was my father’s age hit me hard on my head when I was 17. I started bleeding. I took out my sandal and hit him head hard and he started to bleed too. I lodged an FIR against the man.” In the end, Zarina forgave her husband and accepted him.

It is said that forgiveness is the greatest virtue whereas being cheated is something that no one can ever forget. Thus, it would definitely have been very difficult for these celebrity wives to accept their husbands with these flaws. However, forgiving and accepting are the biggest qualities of a strong woman. We hope that their bond continue to grow stronger with each passing day.
