Ranbir Kapoor to Gauri Khan - these celebs prove drugs and Bollywood go hand in hand
Someone very wise once said, all that glitters, is not gold. True to every syllable, we say, as far as Bollywood is concerned. All the glamour and glitz you see shining on the glossy magazines, in most cases, are a sham a sham used to cover up the dullness and gloom beneath.
This is an unforgiving industry that salutes the rising star and forgoes it when the shine starts to waver. At times too much of opulence and too less to worry about also leave the mind of our favorite celebs void of any wholesome thoughts.
Lives often become a struggle and to face it they resort to forms of self harm and substance abuse is the most common option they reach for.
Here are 10 Bollywood actors who have either admitted to being an addict or were allegedly caught with drugs.
Fardeen Khan
His Bollywood success was short-lived, but he was riding high on whatever little stardom he got which landed him into the mess that is substance abuse. Fardeen was also arrested with cocaine in Juhu way back in 2001, which proved to be the beginning of his downfall. "Before you know it you're sucked into a downward spiral. The idea of any addiction is very damaging. said the star in an interview with Times of India.
Geetanjali Nagpal
Geetanjali Nagpal once rocked the ramp alongside supermodels like Sushmita Sen but before her career could take off, drug addiction took over. She was found begging in the streets of Delhi, by the temples and sidewalks in unrecognizable condition.
Mamata Kulkarni
Remember Mamta Kulkarni? Of course you do if you are a 90s kid that is. So the erstwhile B-town bombshell was booked for drug trafficking in Kenya. She was with her boyfriend Vicky Goswami. Girl has been denying all allegations, but it doesn't really smoke without fire, does it?
Manisha Koirala
While at the pinnacle of Bollywood, she damned all of her fame and wealth for an unsuccessful affair which was followed by a devastating addiction of alcohol and drugs. Good news is, we hear, Manisha has quit the vices since her cancer treatment. We wonder if she will consider returning to the silver screen anytime sooner.
Vijay Raaz
We all know him for his distinctive looks and surreal acting skills. But do you know that way back in 2005, while travelling to shoot the movie Deewane Huya Pagal in Dubai, Vijay was caught with 25 grams of marijuana?
Ranbir Kapoor
On an interview with India Today, the Indian heartthrob admitted that he did have his fair share with marijuana while studying at film school. He had a brief encounter with drugs again during the filming of Rockstar.
Sunjay Dutt
Following his 1982 arrest for passion of drugs, Sanjay Dutt, on his father's suggestion checked in into a rehab in the United States. Recalling those day, he reckons, from cocaine to heroine, if there was a drug, I have done it.'
Parveen Babi
With one failed relationship after another, when it came to love and companionship, Parveen suffered through a tumultuous life. Her solitude ushered her into the world of addiction and she was reported to be hooked to LSD. After spending years in oblivion she succumbed to a lonely death.
Sussanne Khan
Another shocking name to this list belongs to another star wife, former star wife. Not only does Sussanne hail from a very reputable family, she has earned herself massive recognition as an astute interior designer. But if reports are to be believed, her addiction had a major role to play in her divorce with Hrithik in 2014.
Gauri Khan
This came as a shocker to most of us, for we hold the image of this mega couple a little too high in esteem process such news. But it has been reported that Gauri Khan is not a stranger to drugs and was held at Berlin airport when found carrying marijuana.
