What is it about successful actresses that make them choose a divorced guy?
It is not something that we have never talked before! But the one thing common about B-Town's leading actresses is that they have chosen a divorced guy as their soulmate. Hema Malini, Shabana Azmi, Sridevi, Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty, Lara Dutta, Nayanthara, Sarika have all settled for men who had walked the aisle before. Kareena Kapoor is in a relationship with Saif Ali Khan who was married earlier, Vidya Balan is supposedly dating Siddharth Roy Kapur who was married earlier and there were rumours of Priyanka Chopra being more than friends with Shah Rukh Khan. What is it about these men that attracts women to settle for them? The financial security and growing friendship that later turns into love is often cited as important reasons why divorced men are preferred.
The lure and attraction of a married man is stronger sometimes. He has been-there-done-that before and he has exactly learned how to impress a woman and pamper her. He does not want to repeat the mistakes and situations he got into earlier and so the second time they are much more cautious to make it work. More than anything else it is also about the kind of circumstances that a woman gets into. Growing friendship, proximity to these actors at work, and a much needed desire for emotional security draws these successful women actors to them. Many argue that while being in a relationship with a man, few go on to think that they are married. It is more about the kind of friendship they share and then the growing friendship turns into love.
Ugly battles have been fought by the first wives or like Prakash Kaur (Dharmendra's wife) have preferred to be silent. It is never about holding any person responsible for breaking a marriage. Like they say, a marriage breaks not because of another woman but because there is something lacking in their marriage earlier.
As Shilpa Shetty or Raveena Tandon have often said in interviews that they chose to follow their heart when they opted for their soulmate. At the end of the day, it is about finding your happiness and creating an effort to be in a good relationship.
