Sonam Kapoor held on May 8 in Mumbai. The subject of discussion is, among other things, the choice of actress. Her chosen one was Anand Ahuja - a man from the business world, and not from the celebrity party, as most often happens in Bollywood. But Sonam Kapoor is not the only celebrity who has decided to throw in her lot with a businessman. Here are three more Indian film stars who did the same.
One of the most charming actresses in Bollywood, 42-year-old Shilpa Shetty, is married to British businessman Raj Kundra. They met at a business meeting to celebrate the launch of the movie star's perfume brand, S2. Raj and Shilpa became friends, and after a while they began dating as a couple. According to Kundra, he fell in love with the beautiful actress as soon as he saw her. Shilpa was the woman he wanted to spend his entire life with. Luckily for Raja, the Bollywood star reciprocated and a romance began between them.
But soon Kundra's ex-wife Kavita appeared on the scene. The woman accused the famous actress of breaking up her family. Our heroine was so upset that she was ready to immediately break up with her lover. But Raj convinced her not to rush and provided evidence that he broke up with Kavita a year before they met. Therefore, Shilpa could not possibly be the cause of discord. In the end, passions subsided, and the couple were legally married in November 2009. Shilpa and Raj's son Vian is growing up.
Bollywood star Amrita Arora has been married to businessman Shakeel Ladakh for nine years. The actress began dating her boyfriend almost immediately after breaking up with cricketer Usman Afzal, with whom she had a long-term relationship. Our heroine has known Ladakh since her student days - they studied together in college.
I must say that there was a lot of talk around Amrita and her new boyfriend. The piquancy of the situation was that the actress’s lover was previously married to her close friend Nisha Rana. When rumors of the affair reached Rana, she began to publicly accuse her insidious friend of stealing her husband. Her mother Joyce Arora immediately stood up for the actress. Madam recalled that her brother-in-law officially divorced Nisha back in 2006. And he began dating Amrita only in the 200th year - that is, already being free from the bonds of marriage. The scandal that had flared up was quelled, and a year later our heroine happily married her beloved Shakil. The couple has two sons - Azan and Rayan.
An older generation actress, the brilliant Mumtaz had affairs with showbiz stars, but gave her hand and heart to a businessman. The wedding of the Bombay film star with millionaire Mayur Madhvani took place in May 1974 in London. Before this, the couple had been in a relationship for two years.
Having arranged her personal life, the star left Bollywood and began to lead a comfortable existence between London and Mombasa. According to Mumtaz, she never regretted her decision, and yet her marriage happened at the peak of her acting career. In one of the interviews, our heroine once stated: “I found a good man who loved me and gave up cinema. I was fed up with him."
Mumtaz gave birth to her beloved man two beautiful daughters Natasha and Tanya. The eldest is married to famous Bollywood actor Fardeen Khan.
