To quote Sonam Kapoor, cheating is a bad word!' Or in Bollywood, is it?

Popular Producer's Wife Slaps South Siren Over Torrid Affair

This producer, often known for his generosity & niceness, belongs to a Bollywood legacy family. He had been producing blockbusters & damp squibs with his yesteryears superstar brother for decades. As this producer was loved & much respected, so was his popular wife- who was considered the most dependable person in their family. But the producer fell head over heels in love with a leading Southern siren- an actress who is very inarticulate off-screen. Onscreen though, she was the only female superstar of her time, with arresting beauty, immaculate dancing skills & twinkling eyes. Their fling gradually turned into a full-fledged affair, much to the superstar brother's displeasure.

Matters came to a head when the forty something producer decided to leave his wife and secretly tie the knot with the Southern siren. His long suffering wife, who was hoping that this crisis would tide over, couldn't hold back her feelings anymore and slapped her husband's mistress in a party, amidst many eye witnesses. She stormed out, but nothing really changed. Her husband left her and her young son, and remarried. Today, the producer's son is a promising young star even as his South siren wife makes attempts at an onscreen come back.

Ex Superstar Wife Keeps wayward macho star husband in check with public showdowns

She was the reigning queen of romantic cinema during the nineties making for a golden onscreen pairing with Bollywood's romantic superstar (for some, she still is!). In the peak of her career she decided to tie the knot with a macho star who had independently carved a sizeable fan following. On the surface, they are stable & happily married.

But there have been occasions when she has had to keep his wayward behavior in reign. Once on the sets of a multi starrer comedy in Goa, she had very nearly broken a finger of his; her ire was directed at his dalliance with the film's heroine (fast faded now). The second time she confronted a promising heroine (now a popular, critically acclaimed star) on a film set for similarly wooing her man. Their public showdown grabbed a lot of attention then. While her macho husband seems to have mostly mended his ways now, she still keeps a hawk eye on him during outdoor shoots.

Meanwhile said action star had to mend his ways (publicly at least) and the two, once a hot onscreen pair, never worked together again.
