What's with Bollywood actresses marrying married men?

When Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty walks down the aisle to marry London-based businessman Raj Kundra this month, she will be following in the footsteps of Hema Malini, Sridevi and Raveena Tandon - actresses who famously entered into wedlock with men who had been married earlier. We take a look at Bollywood actresses whose husbands or boyfriends were married to other women before them.

While the world is still awaiting wedding bells for Saif and Kareena, Saif was earlier married to Amrita Singh and has two children with the actress.

Karishma may have been engaged to Abhishek Bachchan before she got married to Sanjay Kapur, but Sanjay was himself married before.

Raveena Tandon's husband Anil Thadani was also married to designer Nandita Mahtani before he married Raveena.

Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor was married to Mona Shourie Kapoor before he married Sridevi.

Dharmendra'a first marriage was at the age of 19 to a woman called Prakash Kaur. He converted to Islam to be able to marry Hema Malini.

Before marrying Madhubala in 1960, Kishore Kumar was married to Ruma Guha Thakurta.
Helen's husband Salim Khan (father of Salman Khan) was married to Sushila Charak (Salman's mother). Both Helen and Sushila Charak live together as a family.

Actress Shabana Azmi's husband Javed Akhtar was earlier married to Honey Irani. Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar are his children from his first marriage.

Well personally i dont think it is such a big deal if they are divorced, but it is when they are the reason for the divorce or break up i have a problem with, but then again who am i.

I remember making a similar post about affairs etc. The worst one is sridevi and boney with the others i can still understand the atrraction but with him i cant, must be his personality.

The married the better have more experience and of one or two of the actresses forced the previous marries to disolve like Shilpa !! Raj was already married with kids !! Shilpa met him in london when she came over for big brother !! Sridev got Bonny Kapoors marriage disovled to marry him after working with him in so many movies with Anil Kapoor and others !! Kishore kumar married 4 times !! Once to amits mother, second time to Madhubala, third time Geeta bali niece Yogeeta bali and fouth time leena Chanderwar !!

Not a crush, Ranbir was dating her. I think she's back with Dino now.

It's all about the money! Bank balance does all the talking.

Himesh as well, does have a secret girlfriend although he is married.
