Whether you admit it or not, it’s true that Bollywood has never been too kind to its women. It becomes more evident when you see that it’s the 50-something-years old hunks who are still ruling the tinsel town. But for women, it’s different. While some don’t last for long, some fall prey to various linkups and rumors and their stardom just fades away.
Bollywood has also seen some real love stories flourish within its realm. And it has also seen some really sad breakups too. We all know how hard it is to deal with a breakup. It gets super messy, and painful. And moving on from that just feels like the most difficult thing to do. And being under the constant glare of the paparazzi, it becomes very difficult for a celeb who is a Bollywood actress to heal herself and brave the limelight again.
But guess what, we do have some Bollywood actresses who have been through bad breakups, which they managed to overcome victoriously. And today, they are doing extremely well in their careers and in their personal lives. Let’s have a look at them now.

She learned to speak Hindi fluently and even learned to shake a leg to Bollywood tunes, thereby meeting the basic requirements to sustain in Bollywood.
After having a failed relationship with Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor who are big names in the Bollywood industry, one can only imagine the emotional hurricane she must’ve gone through during the phase. But she chose to handle it with poise like a lady and still maintains cordial relations with both of them. And her career has only witnessed an upwards graph since then.
