Whether they have acted on their beliefs after wedding is different but they have confessed to cheating on boyfriends.. I won't name the actresses here as I am not their hater- I am actually an admirer of their acting.
Bechari nari is outnumbered by assertive women in Bollywood - they will give as good as they get.
Cheating on spouse was a rarity in women of yesteryears. It is not an epidemic even now but it isn't unheard of even in my not so modern social circle.
Bollywood is infamous as the land of libertines, some people there might even be ok with open marriages and exhibit variety seeking behaviour who knows.
Yeah though it would be ridiculous to think every single one of the cheating rumours are true, it would be equally ridiculous to think they are all true... definitely some truth to at least 40-50% of them imo!
And yeah I do feel in all of Indian society (that includes āhigh societyā, middle class, working class, all) the extreme divorce-phobia (which is apparently for preventing promiscuity) has actually been counterproductive...
Because leaving their partner (who they arenāt happy with) and marrying someone else would be seen as taboo, a good number of people (mostly men but even some women) stay married on paper, but have keep having affairs (sometimes multiple casual ones) for their physical/emotional benefit...
If our society was more accepting of divorce/separation (which it thankfully is becoming these days) more people would walk out of unhappy marriages and set out to look for something serious with someone else.
Bollywood people are more liberal in these matters too, (especially rich nepo kids and the like) but sometimes they have to pretend to be relatively sanskari to please the public š
