Skeletons in the loveboat
Hussain Kuwajerwala's marriage to childhood sweetheart Tina Darira last week left a trail of broken hearts (co-stars and female fans alike). Reena Thapar Kapoor charts the love history of television's biggest heartthrobs
VARUN BADOLA (ABHIMANYU IN ASTITVA)
USP: Known to be quite a lady's man, he has women of all age groups falling for him. Married to actress Rajeshwari Sachdeva, his dancing skills displayed in Nach Baliye helped capitalise on his lover-boy image.
His conquests: Manini De, Sangeeta Ghosh and Niki Aneja
Verdict: He was accused by former girlfriend Manini De for having two timed her (at a point in their relationship when they were serious). Later, the chemistry Badola shared with Sangeeta (Pammi in Jis Desh Mein Nikla Chand) and Niki (Dr Simran in Astitva) only added fuel to the fire and became a hot topic of discussion. Niki and Varun were also labelled an 'item' during the making of Astitva.
ANUJ SAXENA ( ABHAY IN KKUSUM)
USP: Oozes with charm, making female co-stars weak in their knees. The man might have snapped ties from his wife Ishmit Dhaiyal, but his formal divorce is yet to come through.
His conquests: Narayani Shastri, Juhi Parmar, Shweta Kawatraa, Nausheen Ali Sardaar... list is endless
Verdict: The only relationship he admitted to having was with the dusky actress Narayani Shastri. They parted ways on grounds best known to them. The other woman who came close to having a relationship with him was Juhi Parmar of Bhabhi fame. It is alleged that a string of actresses have confessed their feelings to him, but no romance blossomed. And despite his troubled marriage he continues to work his charm on his female co-stars.
HUSSAIN (SUMIT IN KUMKUM)
USP: Undoubtedly, the most popular actor on the television circuit, he just waltzed into the hearts of many (female audience and co-stars). Hussain has very smartly adopted the stud image, but kept the 'casanova' tag at bay; finally settling down with childhood sweetheart Tina Darira recently.
His conquests: Juhi Parmar, Tasneem Sheikh and Shraddha Nigam
Verdict: In Hussain's case, both Juhi and Shraddha had admitted to having a soft spot for the actor, but it never catapulted to an 'affair' (or so we were made to believe). The loyal and the newly-wed Hussain has always been aware of his popularity with the women, but has consciously never strayed.
