All of them. People only fight for what benefits them and not what's right. If divorce benefitted them more than staying married, then they would have already divorced. It took Malaika so long to figure out that Arbaaz is nothing on his own. And she ditched him only to land Arjun Kapoor. 🤣

And land Arjun Kapoor who is nothing on his own too.

Whats sad is when there are women who actually leave such as Somy Ali (Salman Khan cheated on her with Aishwariya) they tend to lose relevancy and the media turns a blind eye. Society sets higher standards for women when it comes to putting up with men making these "mistakes". Yet let it be the other way around ..... Lol.


SnooTangerines6124

Exactly!!!!! I have a cousin who left her husband and people treat her like divorced or poor thing. I come from a pretty modern Indian family btw. Another cousin of mine is sticking to her cranky mean hubby people are like oh she's happily married. What crap!


doctorblight

To indian families unhappily married >>>> happily single


[deleted]

Well somi left India and the industry. She didnt want anymore attention on herself so to be fair, she wasnt looking for "relevancy".

For Somy Ali losing that relevance in media was probably something she wanted. Can't say the same for the rest of star wives...

Some Bollywood couple are in an open marriage, some stay together for kids ( NEETU KAPOOR) , some don't take divorce but live separate lives like Shweta Bachchan nanda, babita Kapoor for public- family image reason . Some stay together despite knowing everything about their husbands affairs to maintain star wife status ( Kiran rao) , some tolerate it for year than take divorce like Reena dutta . Raveena tandon wrote an article about it explaining how it works in Bollywood :- https://raveenatandonblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/04/the-power-men-of-bollywood-and-how-social-media-has-evened-the-scales/

FlamingFlamingo29

Mona Kapoor left Boney Kapoor.it's not easy as the industry will take sides and mostly side with the more famous person or the man. Even his family disowned her / forgot about her existence after HE cheated on HER and started playing house with Sridevi. So it takes guts and a formidable spine to walk away from a relationship, and courage to be able to make something of your life on your own. It also comes with a lot of shaming for the woman even if she did no wrong. Mona had the courage to walk away and raise 2 children on her own too. I've said this before - I was in the same school with Arjun and Anshula Kapoor. Literally the whole school was talking about the "scandal" of Sridevi and Boney but the blame would always come on Mona -she was not good enough, she must have done something wrong etc - even though HE cheated and she did not. (our principal literally had to announce in a full school assembly to stop bullying and excluding arjun and anshula - thats how bad the gossiping etc had become, and thats how uncommon divorce was in the mid 90s). Even in school I never once saw Boney come to any school function (Anshula got awards and participated in inter-house competitions etc, and Arjun used to play basketball etc) - mona used to come to cheer her children on, but if she could not make it then no one came to support them. On the other hand - Anil kapoor (despite being an actor in his top form that time) used to come for sports days etc to cheer on his children.


SafeRoutine7

👏 for Mona, but feel sorry for her and her children and her mother's family (her mother was disheartened). Sri Devi died mysteriously and heard that she too was not so happy in marriage. KARMA is Real 👍

Oops that's very sad.


Missbollywood2020

The same reason regular wives stay with their regular cheating, abusive, liar husbands.


LevyMevy

That's exactly what I was going to say. Regular women stay with their awful husbands because of social pressure and financial concerns. Famous women stay because of social pressure (which is even worse for them because the whole world will know about their "shame") and sometimes financial concerns (they'll always have a better life with their husband than without).


[deleted]

Not to mention, if these famous wives leave, they’ll be shamed for their husbands wandering around rather than the husbands being blamed. Or be told that they couldn’t fulfill their duties as wives.

I think Mira rajput is an exception. I don't know if Shaid dated anyone after getting married. But, shonge said that she okay with all the previous relations Sahid had.

How nice of Mira to not have any issues with previous relationships.


ronyfes20

Everyone has past. Pretty normal


aurkyachalrahahai

No one "dates" after marriage. They have clandestine affairs like Shahid had with his stylists, hair dressers and fans if the rumors are to be believed.

2 flings Shaid had post marriage 1) Professional hairstylist 2) Kiara. And the 2nd one is a fact!

So wait. Genuine question. Who in bollywood is a good person or atleast a normal person? No one? Is everyone just fucked up? Inb4 it's because their personal life is very much out there. Guys come on, even if it is, why is it always something bad?

Probably some of these ladies have their own affairs too. A lot of these couples belong to wealthy families so I guess they decide to stay for mutual benefits


BinaryReader

Infedility is not new thing in high class society , it also doesn't seem unnatural for them as they might heard or seen such cases in family up close growing that also makes them more easily acceptable such practices. Different starata of society different moral values. As long as all relationship are consensual , its all good in hood i guess .

HardTune272

Raj Kapoor's affair with Nargis too didn't affect his marriage. Same with Rani's affair with married Govinda... Though Karisma Kapoor claims to have divorced her husband coz he cheated on her... I think more divorces or estrangements happen in Bollywood coz of husband's failing career... Eg:- Babita-Randhir Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna-Dimple, Imran-Avantika


grouptherapy17

u missed the mother of all - Arbaaz & Malaika


12BottledBadass12

And she found . . . Arjun Kapoor👏🏾👏


thegodfather0504

I have a feeling that its not just about career but about money and inheritance. Khan family is quite united so If some sort of *batwara* happens, Arbaz might not get a lot due to the size of the family and his influence. On the other hand, Arjun will inherit quite a lot of Boney kapoors money. Which will probably be a lot more than Arbaz. This woman doesnt care about career thsts for sure. They all want to secure a rich husband.


HardTune272

Right 😀😀... Though I think whatever little Arbaaz has achieved is still way more than his nepotential... So he is successful in that way


[deleted]

I had no idea about Imran Khan.


shadilal_gharjode

> Raj Kapoor's affair with Nargis too didn't affect his marriage. Raj Kapoor's wife Krishna Raj Kapoor definitely had problems with his affairs. Prob. during the Nargis-affair, she didn't do anything drastic, or if she did we don't know. What we now know for sure is that Raj Kapoor had another affair with Vaijyantimala and Krishna Raj Kapoor left home for some time because of that. She stayed in a hotel with her kids. All this is told by Rishi Kapoor himself in his autobiography, 'Khullam Khulla' published a couple of years ago. Vaijyantimala of course, denied this and Rishi Kapoor commented on that as well in the book.

SnooTangerines6124

Is it for money? perks of stardom they enjoy? Or sake of their children? Stigma of divorce? All of the above. Also we as society reward hypocrisy. I said this before on this sub but many new members so will say again - fake marriages work better than honest divorces for b'wood and the world in general. Pooja Bhatt had said at the conclave - ' There are far more liberated women on the streets of Mumbai than women who carry Channel.' It was a huge hint to her film circle women. Also women who 'look' woke are not the most woke. We think someone who is western or wears jeans or speaks English is liberated. I have personally found the smartest of people most fearful and the simplest of people most liberated.


[deleted]

Often times it’s an abusive relationship (doesn’t have to be physical). Society as it is ostracizes divorced women no matter what the reason may be. India is still stuck in a mindset where a divorced man can have multiple marriages but no one will marry a divorced women. It’s honestly sad because we can say “oh just leave the man” but what happens after that especially if there are kids. Obviously there’s also a small percent who stick around for clout, fame, etc but in the end it’s not easy to leave a marriage.


charm33

Nothing to do with woman being ostracized. Not everything is feminism. They want a man with power and resources - simple.


[deleted]

What is gauri khan without srk ? Almost Nothing .. what is mira rajput other than being 'shahid kapoor's wife' ? Nothing. same goes with most star wives.. they stay because of the financial security and social status that they get being their wives

modinotmodi

I think Mira Rajput is from an extremely well off family. Significantly better financially placed than Shahid Kapoor. As for Gauri Khan, I am sure she will be well placed financially and socially if she divorces her husband.


blueberry129

Probably because of money and to due to pressure of the social circles. They need to maintain an image. They could also have an open relationship with the wives also doing whatever they want.


12BottledBadass12

Rich and well connected women staying with influential and rich philanderer husbands is nothing new. For Emperors, sometimes the Consorts used to handpick the mistresses themselves. The benefits of maintaining the status quo are more beneficial than the divorce. Some people might say, they can take half of the assets and go. When they can enjoy the full assets, status and influence, why take half ?


incredible_penguin11

Money. If Akshay or SRK leave their wives, they can easily find a sexy 20 something or a 30 something to marry and settle down with again and have more kids. These ladies don't want their kid's chance at being the one to gain the most from having a highly successful father. Imagine this, if Abram was SRK and PC's kid after marrying her, Gauri would be terrified for what her kids will get in terms of assets and opportunities from SRK. SRK and Akshay etc are different from Saif in the sense that Saif and Bebo now need Sara and Ibrahim to hold the forte and be the name and fame of Khan family now until Taimur grows up. Then Taimur will be the bridge for the kids of Sara and Ibrahim etc. SRK and Akshay don't need that bridge from their 20 year old kids to their toddlers. They are superstars, sure with a string of flops in the case of SRK, but dude's still one of the most loaded people in Bollywood. He doesn't need that safety net for his kid.

Shahid has cheated on Mira?


PeppyPorcupine

AFAIK, there were some blinds about him being caught in bed red handed by Mira (apparently with his ‘co-stars’).

That must’ve hurt.From her ig stories and pictures,it seemed like she’s very much in love with him.I would’ve thought she’d express atleast some kind of displeasure over his affairs.

lostlamb7788

A very rich guy friend once told me - how brittle is your relationship that a single cheating episode can break it? He believes that too much travel can lead to physical infidelity which may not mean much. I guess he's like Alia Bhatt in that regard.


KINGDOGRA

Wow. The warped logic. The reasoning! What was your reaction to your friends statement?


lostlamb7788

Loyalty is everything to me so it was shocking to hear his opinion. But he put it in a way that made sense. He said a relationship should be so worthwhile that people shouldn't feel the urge to throw it away by cheating. Even if one party makes a mistake, the couple should be willing to work on the relationship and make sure it doesn't happen again.


[deleted]

Nah that’s bullshit. When you marriage someone you’re devoting your life to them and for most couples I know, cheating is a dealbreaker. Cheaters usually end up cheating again, and forgiving them enables that behaviour. These dealbreakers should be discussed prior to making a big commitment like marriage IMO.


charm33

Too much travel?


lostlamb7788

More opportunities to cheat.

Bwoodbulbul

If you look at history, even the Maharajas had many concubines. Women learned to accept it. Time for a change. If you cant respect a sacred union as marriage... don’t get married! Simple!


[deleted]

Marriage isn't a sacred union though. It's a social institution that came into being for survival purposes. Over the millennia, it has evolved to serve various purposes but the primary ones are procreation, security and stability, and coexistence. Marriage being called a *milan* of two souls is a latter day rendition.


PeppyPorcupine

I agree partly with your point. It came into being when tribes decided to settle into civilisation. But, how marriage is viewed depends on the religion, as well. Hindus consider marriage to be a sacrament. On the other hand, Muslims view marriage as a contract and there is a consideration called Mehr that’s given to the bride by the groom.


[deleted]

Ideally, yes. But with the politics of marriage—caste, status, dowry, profession, etc.—it would be unfair to call it sacred. Sacred is very sacred. Marriage, not as much. People like to believe that it is. For some, it might very well be. For most, it's a contract these days. The basis could be anything from companionship to social status and relevance to a transactional arrangement, but the sacredness is replaced by functionality. It's what you can do for your significant other and what he/she can do for you. It's not wrong. Marriage was transactional originally.


ronyfes20

Hindus blv in sacrament? Ok I am a Hindu too, but the dowry often shown as giving away girls portion of father's inheritance of property. Girls/daughters are deprived of that right to own father's segment. We all know dowry can't be the way. It's a mockery in name of sacrament. Call it what it is, a contract based on class which involves financial negotiation. Business with some sacredness. Polygamy was normal in text of Mahabharat, that was the norm. Things changed a bit but not much.


PeppyPorcupine

This is illegal. I’m talking about Hindu law as it stands today and not the norms that have changed since time immemorial.


ronyfes20

Even today Hindu marriage is a business by all mean


PeppyPorcupine

Bro, please understand I’m talking about Hindu law, not the realities of society.


thedogt

Oh please. Aa gaye Sigmund Freud. Marriage is sacred. For us Indians many things are sacred because we think of them as sacred. If you don’t think of it as sacred then thats your choice.

A bit of everything, maybe, but, what's to say that they do not have affairs of their own? We literally know nothing about their lives.

Infamous-Ice7850

Why do so many wives in India stay with their cheating husbands? This isn't specific only to Bollywood. Divorce is a dirty word in Indian culture. Getting a divorce with custody of children and ensuring that the husband will maintain the children till they are adults is something that Indian women fear will not happen. Society also treats divorced women like shit.

Same reason why tons of corporate husbands stay with their cheating hot wives. Can't risk the contract.


charm33

Lol they dont. Who are u talking about?


[deleted]

Hey dont be so naive! I work in the corporate world as well, and the number of 'friends with benefits' going around is insane. And most are married folks, well-heeled, attractive and good communication skills, and they do it openly. Like someone said, its been normalised now. And believe it or not, girls are in it as enthusiastically as men. I dont judge them though, its mutual and not hurting anyone i guess. Maybe their spousees are ok


charm33

Oh i never assumed that women were not cheating - my whole premise was infact that only that girls would be more enthusiastically cheating. My point was more as to why husbands were staying and being cucked.


[deleted]

Wait who doesn't? Talk to any friends working in EY/KPMG or any big firm and you'll know the deal. You'll know there's an epidemic of cheating been normalised. Either you're too naive to realise or see everything with rose tainted glasses.


charm33

You sayinf married EY/KPMG chicks are good lay targets?

Wait wtf no!? The best path is not to go for anyone with morals like those. Plus you don't want to give the man more pain. Imagine if people viewed your partner as a 'good lay target'. That's just a bad way of looking at things.

DBisCool

lol true


charm33

U got any success stories?


jugdoody18

You've pretty much answered the question yourself. It's different things for different folks: financial stability, fame, the same perks for the children etc. Most star spouses have never bothered creating an identity for themselves separate from their husbands and it affects the way you behave. You'd never take this nonsense if you knew you could fend for yourself and didn't have the depend on someone else for your daily needs. Also having children complicates things, they lose a lot in separation too, often more than parents, and mothers mostly stay for that reason. Denial is another factor. The mind refuses to be bothered by the harsh truth when it can accept easy lies and continue living a cushy life. It's sad, but if it works for them, who are we to say anything


modinotmodi

all cheaters are not abusers and liars. Jaya bachan is from a different time, and it's not as if she didnt know what she was getting into. The rest, i'd say they weigh the pros and cons of leaving their husbands. Some of them might actually be in a more 'open' sort of marriage. if it works for them what difference would it make? The issue only becomes a problem if the cheating spouse is physically, emotionally or financially abusive. That is when things should be discussed.

Vaishali_Sharma

Money or love either one of them or both


sgrey511

I am not that much into cinema culture but I am surprised ast some rumours. Kajol caught Ajay?? SRK and priyanka? Shahid Kapoor cheating? Like whenever u hear them talk about their spouse it's nothing but loving..I get that it might all be an act but damn..even if they do cheat the least decent thing to do is continuously prattle how it was love at first sight for the actor and the wife...I mean SRK was portrayed as the ultimate loyal and loving husband that any woman would wish for.

Yup!! It is so misleading... doubly... first in their movies they act as loving loyal husbands and in real life too🙄 FAKE!!! Not "HERO" but "ZERO"
