6 Bollywood Break Ups We Wish Had Never Happened

Written by Chaitra Krishnan, MA (Journalism & Mass Communication)  • 

Being in a relationship is all roses and romantic violins only in cheese old Bollywood movies. In real life, you know how things are if you’ve been a serious relationship. The honeymoon period only lasts for a while and after that, you choose to stay in love and work hard at your relationship to keep each other happy. However, no matter how much we care about someone, things may not go well. Sometimes, people choose to walk out because they feel that’s right for them. And well, it’s a completely personal choice because no relationship should be ever forced on anyone; especially if it’s something bound by love.

This is the way it works for our celebrities as well. However, we wish that some of them never broke up because they were true #relationship goals. Don’t we all have that one celebrity couple who we look up to? Well, their breakups definitely came as a shock to us and there’s a part of us that wish they got back together again. However, most of these celebs have moved on in their lives and are happy being where they are. Let’s take a look at some of the Bollywood breakups that broke our hearts.

1. Deepika Padukone And Ranbir Kapoor

Deepika and Ranbir were launched around the same time and they soon became the talk of the town. They started giving us couple goals right from their first movie Bachna Ae Haseeno in which they played onscreen lovers. However, soon they started dating in real life as well and started making public appearances together. Sadly, after years of courtship, Deepika and Ranbir broke up because Ranbir failed to stay faithful in the relationship. The actress has been quite vocal about how the break up affected her mental health and how difficult was it for her to overcome the situation. Despite some bitterness in the initial years, the duo are now friends and have kept their professional life far from whatever happened in their personal relationship. Even after the breakup, Ranbir and Deepika were seen in movies like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and Tamasha and we still love it when they are together.

2. Kareena Kapoor And Shahid Kapoor

Bollywood’s Bebo and the handsome hunk Shahid Kapoor were an amazing couple for every 90s kid who spent their teenage listening to songs from Jab We Met. Shahid Kapoor, in an interview with a leading lifestyle magazine had said that he and Kareena started dating each the other within a week after they first met. Well, we can say that the duo hit it off really well due to their personalities. While Kareena is quite outspoken, Shahid is more reserved and we all know that opposites attract. Sadly, after many years of dating, the duo broke up and none of them took it easy *sob*

3. Bipasha Basu And John Abraham

Bips and John were the hottest couple of Bollywood of all time! Both these actors were known for their chiseled body and good looks much more than their acting abilities back in those days. While Bipasha’s killer eyes were mesmerizing, John’s dimpled smile can cut through our hearts. Well, the attractive couple dated for some time and set a very high standard for all future couples before they decided to call it quits. Today, John is married to Priya Runchal who is an investment banker and Bipasha is wifey to television industry’s heartthrob Karan Singh Grover.

Remember the scene from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai in which Hrithik falls in love with Amisha Patel at the first sight? Well, this scene was inspired by the real-life love story of Hrithik and Sussane Khan. He fell for her when they were both in their respective cars and were stuck in traffic!  How filmy is that? The duo got married soon and had two lovely sons. However, things did not work out well later and there were many rumors about why their marriage fell apart. Nonetheless, Hrithik and Sussane maintain a cordial relationship even today and are seen enjoying holidays with their children.

6. Amrita Singh And Saif Ali Khan

The charming Saif and outspoken diva Amrita Singh were definitely goals back in the days. Sadly, after years of marriage they called it quits. Amrita and Saif met during a photoshoot even before Saif’s first film was released. Apparently, Saif had put his arms around her during the shoot and she noticed him for the first time during that moment. Sparks flew between the two and they gradually fell in love after getting to know each other. Soon they tied the knot and have two beautiful children together. Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan are already fan favorites in B-town. Sadly, Amrita and Saif split up and Saif went on to marry Kareena Kapoor after some years. We can definitely say that the duo was a power couple.
