Bollywood Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert, “Bollywood. The land of dreams and a place where dreams wear the cloak of reality. Bollywood industry, where stories are told, stories are made, and stories turn into legend. This is a place where many, many celebrities found their route to ‘immortality,’ with their names etched into history forever. While the industry itself is full of glamour, lights, and the ever-hovering media, fame has a price to pay. It could be your identity; it could be your personality or even the most important person in your life – your spouse or partner.”
Hirav Shah adds, “In Bollywood, many films have been made on infidelity, and we see Bollywood celebrities rarely talk about experiencing it in real life. Well, with infidelity a ‘relationship status’ of sorts in today’s world, Bollywood has its own chunk of break-ups and heartaches. Now, we bring you the list of a few B-Town stars who once made headlines by admitting to cheating on their partners.“

Being a versatile actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his performances in Gangs of Wasseypur and Sacred Games, had confessed to having a one-night stand with a waitress in New York City. In his book, An Ordinary Life: A memoir, Nawazuddin Siddiqui revealed the same. The exact lines from his book read, “Those years between 2006 and 2010 were pretty incredible too. The industry had begun to notice me… Strangely, the West was kinder to me first, both in terms of love and work. I was at a cafe once with my friend in New York City’s Soho area. The stunning waitress kept staring at me. ‘You? You are an actor?’ she asked a rhetorical question. ‘Yes!’ I replied. ‘Which film of mine did you see? Gangs of Wasseypur?’ She squinted, trying to remember, ‘No, no,’ she said. ‘Another film!’ After a few moments, she responded: ‘Lunchbox!’ We got talking, and let’s just say what happens in New York stays in New York…”.
4. Ranbir Kapoor
Recently, Ranbir Kapoor got married to his longtime girlfriend, Alia Bhatt. Before Alia Bhatt, Ranbir was in a relationship with heroines such as Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif.

Reportedly, Deepika accused Ranbir of cheating on her. During a web interview in 2011, Ranbir himself admitted that he had cheated out of immaturity. Later, Ranbir even dated Katrina for six years and planned to tie the knot with her, but destiny has such other plans as the Kapoor family star got in touch with Alia Bhatt after a break-up with Katrina.
Hirav Shah concludes by saying, “There are still many stories of Bollywood actors who have cheated on their wives. While some got what they wanted, others re-traced their paths, and some others gave-up all together. As they say, sometimes it takes another life to find true love; and sometimes all it takes is another person.“
