Time and again, Bollywood gets accused of aping Hollywood. Be it films, fashion or face value, apna tinsel town gets 'inspired' from its western counterpart with much ease. To a great extent, the mould of our film industry and our stars is influenced by the west. However, it's amazing to notice that the personal and professional lives of several Bollywood celebs mark some startling similarities with their Hollywood mates. The resemblances are too stark and too many. Take a look.
Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez's much-hyped engagement to actor Ben Affleck in 2002, was to be followed by a grand wedding in September, 2003. The couple headed for splitsville just a few days before their scheduled marriage.
It was Bollywood's ultimate fairytale romance. Filmdom's two most powerful families — the Bachchans and Kapoors were waiting for Karisma and Abhishek's engagement to culminate into marriage. Soon news of this blue-eyed couple's break-up was up in newspapers.
