The tragic love lives of Bollywood actresses

Madhubala

One of the most loved Bollywood actresses of all time, Madhubala dated a number of men in her life. However, she could never find true love and died a tragic death at the age of 36. She was all of 17 when she started dating Dilip Kumar. Theirs was a pairing that was loved by one and all. But their relationship ended as her father didn’t approve of it. Madhubala then married Kishore Kumar. Speculations were rife that the singer-actor married her as he was in need of money. Soon, her health started deteriorating, and she breathed her last in 1969.

Meena Kumari

Meena Kumari is undoubtedly one of the most graceful actresses to have graced the silver screen. Meena got into a relationship with filmmaker Kamal Amrohi and soon married him. Amrohi was almost 17 years elder to her. Due to his strict nature, the love story – which looked like a fairy tale in the beginning – turned into a nightmare.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut has achieved a lot of success in her professional life. However, on the personal front, she hasn’t been too lucky, especially as far as her love life is concerned. The actress was once dating Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan Suman. But the relationship ended on a bitter note and later, Adhyayan even accused Kangana of practising black magic. The actress was also reportedly in a relationship with Hrithik Roshan. The supposed love story made headlines for all the wrong reasons when Kangana washed her dirty linen in public.

Parveen Babi

Parveen Babi, too, had a tragic love life. She was in a relationship with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who even left his wife and family to be with Parveen. But due to her unstable mental condition, the two could not stay together. While Mahesh tried everything to make things work between the two, Parveen’s condition kept deteriorating before she died a lonely death.

Zeenat Aman

Zeenat Aman fell in love with Sanjay Khan, who was married with three kids. Their affair became the talk of the town and it was not long before they got hitched. It was said that Sanjay was a dominating husband and even thrashed Zeenat in a five-star hotel. Zeenat later married Mazhar Khan.

Rekha

Rekha was reportedly in a relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. While the actress was quite open about his equation with Bachchan, the latter always remained silent about it. When the megastar married Jaya Bhaduri, it was the end of Amitabh and Rekha’s alleged love story.
