Bollywood is not only known to entertain people with reel-life fights in movies, but also with real-life fights between the actors. From bullying to backstabbing, celebrities have time and again become a sort of jokes for their immature behavior. Here's a look at the most hateful and shocking fights of Bollywood stars.

The two very infamous superstars got into an argument at a party that Salman Khan threw for his girlfriend, (now turned former-love) Katrina Kaif, which later turned ugly. The situation turned even worse when SRK made a comment on Aishwarya Rai, who was also Salman's ex-girlfriend. Since then, the two have taken potshots at each other and maintained a good distance with each other. However, just recently the two superstars hugged each other at MLA Baba Siddique's Iftar party, which many think could be the beginning of the end of the industry's much-discussed feuds.

When Gauri Khan made her decision for not to attend the funeral and prayer meet of Dr Ashok Chopra, who is beloved father of Priyanka Chopra, it was quite clear that she wanted to maintain distance from the actress. It is believed that the reason behind this is Priyanka's alleged linkup with Gauri's beloved husband Shah Rukh Khan.

Last year, when Gauri expressed her hate feelings for Priyanka, filmmaker Karan Johar also took digs at the actress, but he was quick enough to make peace with her and roped in 'Agneepath'. Dr Ashok's funeral was attended by Shah Rukh Khan, and also by PC's so-called foe Kareena Kapoor, to which she made her presence with sister Karisma Kapoor.

Actors Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra got although gone well during the shooting of their hit movie 'Aitraaz' with Akshay Kumar, but Kareena's statement on Karan Johar's chat show 'Koffee With Karan' didn't go down well with both the actresses.

Bebo's statement to PeeCee as 'not so great actress' was enough to give a hint to the paparazzi about their cold war. Bebo even went on to say that the two weren't friends. Shockingly, these statements were made after the two actresses were also seen in Farhan Akhtar's 'Don', starring Shah Rukh Khan. Unfazed by what was said about her, Priyanka maintained Kareena's attitude and didn't showed much importance. However, later on in an event, the two were also seen hugging with each other, which was assumed to be the end of their cold war. Reportedly, Kareena and Priyanka have both dated Shahid Kapoor earlier.

When Deepika Padukone told Karan Johar in his show 'Koffee With Karan' that she wanted to gift a pack of condoms to her ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor and also wished to see the passport of RK's present-beau Katrina Kaif, everybody knew what made her to dig such potholes. Both Deepika and Katrina, who had though performed at the IPL opening ceremony together with Shah Rukh Khan once, preferred to avoid speaking and coming face-to-face with each other, time and again.

Their enmity started around four years back. Post their film, 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', Deepika and Ranbir had expressed their love for each other on public platforms. However, their relationship soon turned sour when the rumours of unfaithfulness by the Playboy Ranbir started doing the rounds. According to the buzz, Katrina made a crack between Deepika and Ranbir affair while shooting 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', where since then the couple are said to be dating with each other. Reportedly, Katrina too dumped Salman Khan during that period of time to date the Kapoor lad.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may have moved on in life by marrying Amitabh Bachchan's son Abhishek Bachchan, but seemed like Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi just can't let bygones be bygones. Their fall-out is one of the few B-town fights which have unfortunately lasted till long time.

Earlier Ash was said to be dating with Khan, but then she soon dumped him and apparently started to date with Vivek Oberoi. Since Vivek's bond with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also didn't go down well, the relationship between the two ex-lovers of Ash too didn't go down well with each other. It is being said that Vivek had also supposedly received threats by Salman. Later on, even though Vivek apologised to Salman, seems like it didn't help to retain their bond.

Everybody in the industry is aware of the petty fall-out between the two gorgeous actresses, Sonam Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai. For those who aren't aware of the fight, here's a quick review. It all started when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turned down the offer to walk the red carpet for Cannes with Sonam Kapoor. Displeased with Ash's decision, Sonam was also quoted by referring Aishwarya as an 'Aunty'. However all's well now, where courtesy goes to Ash's hubby and Sonam's dear friend Abhishek Bachchan, who reportedly interfered and solved the issue.

One would for sure remember the famous war of words between Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, when Guzaarish got released. The film although was critically acclaimed, but didn't go down well at the box office. And thus Salman said, "Arre, usme toh makhi udd rahi thi, lekin koi machhar bhi nahi gaya dekhne. Arre, koi kutta bhi nahin gaya." Quite annoyed with Salman's remark, Hrithik also reverted back by saying, "Heroes don't gloat, they should show some grace." However, sometime later, Hrithik buried the hatchet with the Dabangg Khan and all is well between the two superstars now.

Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar may have amazed fans with their films, but the two left many shaken when they showed no inhibitions in taking digs at each other on their official twitter handle. The heated discussion kicked off when Anurag got vocal about his criticism for the films which are made by Karan Johar and Yash Chopra. Karan strongly reacted to Anurag's statements by saying he had lost his head and should opt for a treatment. However, the two filmmakers soon patched up, and now it is being learnt that Karan will soon be seen making his full-fledge acting debut in Anurag's next directorial movie Bombay Velvet.

The cold war between Farah Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also quite known in the industry, when Farah hit back by making a rude remark on Bhansali. On being asked about Sanjay by Karan Johar on his chat show, she had said, "Lily, don't be silly." The comment however didn't go down well with Sanjay, as he thought that it was unfair and rude behavior on Farah's take to dig at his mother's name - Leela. Even though Farah apologised, but apparently the damage was still there.

Shah Rukh Khan had allegedly punched and slapped Farah Khan's filmmaker husband Shirish Kunder at the success bash of Agneepath. The private bash, which was thrown by Sanjay Dutt, actor SRK and filmmaker Kunder got into an ugly fight after the latter took potshots at the superstar. It all started when Farah roped in Akshay Kumar for 'Joker' and left behind his dear friend Shah Rukh.

Farah and Kunder also went to media and expressed their anger towards SRK. Well, everything was calmed down soon and all buried their hatched like a family. Reportedly Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala took the helpful initiative to bring out the peace between Farah, Shirish and SRK.

We often must have seen that celebrities in the glamour industry have taken that extreme step by committing suicide for their own personal or professional reasons. The suicide case of Bollywood actress Jiah Khan has again highlighted the pressure, frustration and depression that come as a part and parcel of the glamour life.

We have listed down the top 5 among renowned Bollywood actors who took this extreme step to end their life.

Bollywood actress Jiah Khan committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence on June 3, 2013. Jiah was brought up in England and had shifted to Mumbai with her mother Rabiya. Worked in well-known films like Nishabd, Ghajini and Housefull, Jiah Khan was in a 'live-in' relationship with actor Aditya Pancholi's son Sooraj Pancholi. According to a six-page note found after the death of actress, her mother alleges that the failed relationship had forced the actress to commit suicide, where she was even forced to abort her child with Sooraj earlier in 2013.

The tragic end of the 19-year old actress Divya Bharti, who had fallen from the window of her fifth floor apartment around midnight on 5th April of 1993, still stays as one of the most shocking deaths ever encountered in B-town. However it's still not known that whether the promising actress, who had risen within a short period and was expected to reach the top in the coming years of Bollywood, committed suicide or met an accidental death or was a murder. And thus her death continued to remain a mystery till date.

South sex-symbol Silk Smitha was found dead on the morning of September 23, 1996, in her home in Saligramam near Chennai. It is suspected that Smitha committed suicide by poisoning herself. In a suicide note that she had written in Telugu, she claimed that repeated failure in life had led to frustration and forced her to take this drastic step. Vidya Balan's award winning film 'The Dirty Picture' was loosely based on the life of Silk Smitha.

The legendary yesteryear actor turned filmmaker Guru Dutt was found dead on 10th of October 1964. His death is said to happen because of lethal combination of sleeping pills in excessive alcohol, but it's still debated as suicide since his family maintains that it was an accident. However this was Guru Dutt's third suicide attempt, and filmmaker Abrar Alvi who was conversing with Dutt on that night claims that he felt Guru Dutt was too depressed and unhappy.

Kunal Singh was an Indian actor who appeared in Tamil and Hindi films. He is best known for his role in 'Dil Hi Dil Mein' in which he was paired opposite Sonali Bendre. Kunal too hanged himself to death on February 7, 2008, from a ceiling in his Mumbai apartment by actress Lavina Bhatia. The apparent suicide was challenged by his father Rajendra Singh who claimed that the body showed some signs of suspicious mark, but the police were unable to prove any other person's presence in Kunal's apartment at the time of his death. However, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists several months earlier too.

Well at first it starts with starry-eyed glitz, but then ends up to despair that several celebrities have succumbed to. We wish and hope that god gives power to such celebrities to cope from their depression and pain in life.

Bollywood is filled with songs and entertainment, and actors have no option but to dance in these songs. Moreover, giving into the need of the hour, many Bollywood actors are putting on their dancing shoes for the sake to entertain the audience. However some just impress, but some fail to even express and becomes a good funny story for the viewers. Check out the top Bollywood actors, who should not dare to dance on screen.

After the release of Sajid Khan's Himmatwala, Ajay Devgn is now the latest addition in the list. The actor has taken to dancing in the 'Himmatwala' remake, and simply failed to create an impact. In spite of his much effort, Ajay Devgn didn't come even minutely close to Jeetendra's unforgettable dance steps, which he showed in the original version.

Sanjay Dutt can hardly move with those huge arms, and seeing him dance is not one of the best sights for viewers on the screen. Be it his recently released film 'Zila Ghaziabad' or his early 90s film 'Yalgaar' where he mistook karate steps for dance moves.

Anil Kapoor might be entertaining and a phenomenal performer, but the actor just can't dance. Ever from the time when he was seen in his 'Ram Lakhan' days, to the recently released movie 'Race 2', Anil has time and again proved that he has only two left feet when it comes to dance.

In spite of his good looks and six pack abs, actor John Abraham have apparently just failed to impress to dance on the screen. From his steps in 'Desi Boyz' to 'Race 2', the dancing seems too forceful.

Bollywood's serial kisser Emraan Hashmi can do bold scenes without a blink of the eye. However when it comes to dancing, it is not a good sight to see him shake a leg or two. He on the other hand manages to balance well in his songs, but is of course not a good dancer. We wonder, he would do wonder if the song is only meant to represent in a bold manner.

Another addition in the list is actor R Madhavan. He is known for his great acting skills, but who can forget his unintentional hilarious dance moves in 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein', and also in the latest one 'Jodi Breakers'.

Irrfan Khan is known for being a versatile actor and also a national award winner, but one thing he should definitely avoid is doing dancing. Seeing his moves to the song of 'Razia Gundo Mei' in 'Thank You', all we can say is that we would rather see him doing act than dance.

Now who can forget our angry-man Sunny Deol. The actor takes the cake with his popular 'Yaara o Yaara' steps in 'Jeet', but he himself confirmed that he cannot dance on the screen. Well, hope that we don't get to see his dancing skills in any of his upcoming films.

Nana Patekar is the biggest competitor in the category in the company of his over the top dance moves. His moves in 'Fever song' and the latest in 'Welcome' simply proved that he should stay away from dance.

Akshaye Khanna made a promising debut in 1997 with his film 'Himalay Putra' but his dance moves could not guarantee him a range of roles in commercial entertainers. He although proved his versatility in acting skills, but could not make a good impression in his dancing skills.

Looks like gone are the days in India when women and girls were thinking to choose their partners who were only single, as now-a-days these women are changing the trend. If a couple is being divorced, then a girl doesn't think twice to start up her relationship with a divorced man and end up in marrying with him again.

Bollywood beauties, who were quite single in their marital status, have also opted for men that were already married and having kids. Check out the top 10 actresses who have married a married-man in their respective lives, where many of them are also presently living peacefully and happily together.

Saif Ali Khan was married to actress Amrita Singh in 1991 and after 13 long years of marriage with having two children also - daughter Sara and son Ibrahim - the couple divorced in 2004. After publicly dating with Shahid Kapoor, actress Kareena Kapoor broke-up with him and started dating with Saif since October 2007. After being in relationship for five years, Kareena got happily married with a married and divorced man Saif Ali Khan on October 16, 2012.

Shilpa Shetty was said to be dating with actor Akshay Kumar, but nothing came in open and the couple also apparently broke-up with each other. The actress then married a British-Indian businessman Raj Kundra on November 2009, who was already married once and had got divorced from his first wife.

Karisma was engaged to Abhishek Bachchan and the engagement was announced in October 2002 on the 60th birthday of Abhishek's father, Amitabh Bachchan. Four months later in February 2003, they split up. On 29 September 2003, she married industrialist Sanjay Kapur, who was already married once with the designer and socialite Nandita Mahtani but later got divorced. Karishma and Sanjay now have two kids, named Samaira and Kiaan. The couple is now reportedly on the verge for separation.

Vidya Balan was in news for her apparent link-up with Shahid Kapoor, but later got split. Without naming any person, the actress simply said in her interview, "If someone who matters to you takes you down, it can break you. That someone whose approval mattered to me started to constantly find faults with me. At that point of time, it was important to walk away from that relationship." She was then reportedly in relationship with filmmaker-businessman Siddharth Roy Kapur, who is the CEO of UTV Motion Pictures and is already being two-time married and divorced. His second wife was a Television producer, and the couple separated in 2008, to which their divorce came through in the end of 2011. Vidya and Siddharth officially got married on December 14, 2012.

The former Bollywood queen Raveena Tandon married Anil Thadani, after he got divorced from his first wife Natasha Sippy. Natasha was the daughter of the Bollywood producer named Romu Sippy. The Sippy's are still blaming the actress for the failure of Natasha and Anil's marriage. Raveena's affair with actor Akshay Kumar was much-publicized in early days, but apparently she soon began dating film distributor Anil Thadani during the making of their film Stumped (2003).

Ace tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi was married to model Shvetha Jaishankar, but they divorced after being married for seven years. He then married to former Miss Universe and actress Lara Dutta in February 2011. She was earlier in relationship with Kelly Dorji, who is a Bhutanese actor and model based in Mumbai.

Although Kiran Rao is a budding director and filmmaker, but she will also be soon making her acting debut in Rajkumar Hirani's Peekay, starring her husband Aamir Khan. However Kiran will be seen playing a very short role in the film. Now moving to our topic, quite known as Mr. Perfectionist in Bollywood, actor turned filmmaker Aamir Khan has also married twice. He was earlier married to his childhood love interest Reena Dutta for 15 long years, but then got divorced and later tied his knot with Kiran Rao, who was her assistant in the film Lagaan. Reena and Aamir has two children, Junaid and Ira, while with Kiran, the actor is having one child presently, Azad.

The gorgeous Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhary got married with an architect Bobby Mukherjee, who is a divorcee and already has two sons from his previous one. Their marriage news came as a surprise to the media and also to her fans. The couple has now a daughter named Aryana.

Kareena's best friend Amrita Arora married to a businessman Shakeel Ladakh who is a divorcee too. The couple has two sons - named Azaan and Rayaan. The actress, who is a beloved sister of Arbaaz Khan's wife Malaika Arora Khan, was in much-news for her lesbian role in the controversial film 'Girlfriend' (2004), where she starred opposite actress Eesha Koppikar.

Rani Mukerji is said to be married with once married man Aditya Chopra. Even veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha openly announced the name of the actress as Rani Aditya Chopra in one of event, and even later said that he had said nothing wrong. Furthermore, the couple has been spotted number of times together, along with an engagement ring in Rani's hand. On the other hand, it is being said that the renowned filmmaker Aditya divorced his first wife, only because of his alleged extra-marital affair with Rani. And thus because of this, Adi's father, Late Yash Chopra, was quite upset and had bad terms with the actress. Soon everything was settled down and the legendary filmmaker accepted Mukerji in his family, where she was also on her toes right till the end when Yash Chopra's health deteriorated. However, related to Adi and Rani's relationship, neither of them have confirmed or denied about it. Meanwhile an official statement hasn't been announced as of now, but we assume that the day is not far!

Playing the role of a real-life prostitute on the screen is quite a tough job for any actress, as it not only requires some skin-show and intimate scenes, but also one would need to follow the perfect kind of body language and dialogue delivery. However, no matter how tough the role would be, these Bollywood actresses do it very efficiently and in a very professional manner. Well, although the role could be a path-breaking one for their career, but some have won accolades for it and some have hardly raised a buzz. We bring you 10 such famous on-screen hookers aka prostitute in Bollywood, who have defined the role as per their era.

Legendary actress Meena Kumari's role in her Pakeezah (1972) is still being called as the original on-screen hooker in Hindi cinema. The shooting that started in 1964, however stopped a couple of months later, after almost half the movie was completed. The reason behind this was that the actress Kumari and her husband-director Kamal Amrohi got separated. When she took up the project again, she was very ill. And when the movie gained its box-office success, she just died two months after its release. The golden-hearted Lucknow prostitute that she enacted in the film is still one of the best female characters played in Hindi film industry, because the filmmakers these days just don't make them like her anymore.

Another actress that classifies the role of a prostitute is none other than but the versatile actress Rekha. She just mesmerized everybody with her ada in the earlier 80s, with her film Umrao Jaan (1981). The tragic tawaif, who had no luck in love and life and is left alone in a brothel, has drawn much appreciation from all over. Back then, the character and characterization of a hooker was different from what we now know, because at that point of time, these movies were period dramas and not contemporary. The sleaze was bare minimum, and the inner life reflected more on the screen.

As we are speaking about period and dramas, this 2002 remake of old-cult film 'Devdas' is another one, which is to be remember when it comes to onscreen prostitute. The Dhak-Dhak beauty Madhuri Dixit as the lovelorn Chandramukhi in the movie gave her own emotional touch. As a tawaif, she although has no such sequences on romantic love from her customers, but she cannot help to fall in love with the drunken Devdas. Needless to say, Madhuri won a number of awards for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's remake version of 'Devdas' that starred Shah Rukh Khan in lead.

There are those exceptional courageous movies in Bollywood, which give a picture of the rotten stench of real life. 'Chandni Bar' (2001) deals with the underworld life of Mumbai where the sons of gangsters take up arms, and the daughters of bar dancers and prostitutes end up in dance bars. Actress Tabu won many awards for her role as Mumtaz the bar dancer, including the National Film Award, who gets married to a gangster and has to opt the prostitution route to provide food and basic necessities for herself and her family. This one is a real eye-opener for the common people with half-baked ideas of a bar girl's life.

A light-hearted movie 'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke' (2001) saw Preity Zinta in one of the prostitute role, who acts and behaves like a funny girl, but is good at heart. It is a story of the transformation of a lowly prostitute to a groomed personality by a businessperson (Salman Khan) who needs her to be his childless wife's surrogate. While Preity takes up the job for the money, she cannot let go of her baby who she has took care for 9 months in her womb. But eventually she let go in the end, making an infertile couple happy, and quite the job of a prostitute to lead a good life.

Prostitution is primarily not carried out by self-choice and is more from emotional pressures by family, circumstances or from evil sections of society. Similar kind of story is being portrayed in this not-so-successful movie 'Market' (2003) that shows the under-age Manisha being sold off into the flesh trade by her new Arab sheikh husband. In a role that was surprisingly underrated, Manisha was brilliant as a hooker who goes on to punish herself.

Another actress who has also delivered superb roles as a prostitute is the very talented actress Rani Mukerji. She played Gulabji who narrates the story of 'Sawariya' and falls in love with the lead hero Ranbir Kapoor. However, just like we see in all other Bollywood hooker movies, she loses him to another woman (Sonam Kapoor).

In addition, her best performance as a prostitute was in YRF's 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag'. A heart-wrenching tale of what is the real story of many real-life prostitutes, the movie tell you about a girl who leaves her family to get a job in Mumbai to provide money and basic necessities for them, but ends up as a call girl in Mumbai. However, Bollywood had moved forward in its treatment of such characters, and sees her happily married with her love Abhishek Bachchan in the movie.

Kalki enacts the character of a new-age Chandramukhi in her contemporary take on 'Devdas', titled as 'Dev.D' (2009). In the film she is a high-class prostitute in night and a college student in day. It also throws light upon one of the newest and hottest phenomena that drags a civilized woman into the prostitution world, or rather becoming a call girl, and that is an MMS scandal, that shakes the girl's family into shame. A strong woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it, Kalki's character adds a new aspect to the role of a prostitute in Bollywood.

One of the finest prostitute roles in 2000's was played by Kareena Kapoor. She first played the role in 'Chameli' (2004), where she impresses Rahul Bose's character with her attitude of strength, kindness and compassion. It portrayed a kind of story where she was sold off into the flesh trade as a young girl by her uncle, which is actually usual occurrence in most parts of India.

The second movie where the actress plays a hooker is 'Talaash' (2012), which although does not stand in comparison with her role in 'Chameli', but even though gave a remarkable performance. The surprise element of her in the movie, and how her character is being used and has no importance in this 21st century, is being narrated in a nice manner.

We end this list with what prostitute roles in Bollywood have now come down to - a very short and cameo appearance with no specific character sketch. Shruti Haasan, as the latest to join the brigade, delivers a good performance although in D-Day (2013), but has a very small role in the movie. She falls in love with a RAW agent (Arjun Rampal), makes some lustful love and eventually dies by terrorist people. However, when crowd-pulling tricks are given more importance than real cinema, this is what we end up with.

Earlier there was a time where legendary Manoj Kumar was making patriotic based movies such as 'Purab and Paschim', which had a complete different picture to showcase among audience. Also there were war-based movies such as 'Haqeeqat' (1964) that were creating a good interest among Indians. Well now, the scenario has been completely changed and the filmmakers have successfully created and portrayed different flavors of patriotism among the mango people. This 66th Independence Day, we present you the Top 10 Contemporary Patriotic Movies in Bollywood, which were released after the year 2000.

Lagaan is India's official entry to Oscar that dealt with the issue of Patriotism in a slightly different and interesting way. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, it incorporated the concept of India's most watched game Cricket with Nationality issue. The ancient pre-independence historic feel could be seized throughout the movie.

The Sunny Deol starrer movie broke all the box office records when it was released in 2001. Gadar: Ek Prem Katha created a historic feat of achieving phenomenal business returns, as well as triggering the emotions of many Indians in the process too! Directed by Anil Sharma, it's a love story of an Indian man and of a Pakistani girl that was set against the backdrop of Partition. It won many awards and can be classified as one of the best Love Story-Patriotic film combination of all time.

The Raj Kumar Santoshi's version of Bhagat Singh's story wasn't commercially successful but it was a wonderful effort. What was really heart touching was the director's effort and the brilliant character portrayals by the actors. Ajay Devgan even got the National Award for his exceptional performance of Bhagat Singh.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero, also known as Bose: The Forgotten Hero, is a 2004 film directed by Shyam Benegal and starring Sachin Khedekar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Rajit Kapur, Arif Zakaria, and Divya Dutta. The movie depicts the life of the Indian independence leader "Netaji" Subhas Chandra Bose. It starts with Bose resigning the president post of Indian National Congress (INC) and moves to the meeting with Italians by crossing Afghanistan's rugged terrain and entering Europe. Then it shows him romancing his Austrian secretary and his appointment with Adolf Hitler in Berlin, followed by inspiring the Indian POWs of the 'Punjab Regiment' (British Army) for fighting the British forces in India, through his patriotic speeches.

In Bollywood, relationships come and go. After one break up, stars are instantly linked to someone else. While many actors and actresses have broken off and moved on, here's a look at the top 10 such couples who had a worst break-up ever in their life.

The real-life romance between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai infused on the sets of Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and their relationship was the talking point in B-town. Fans went crazy and everybody wanted to see the two love birds together, even though they did not confess their love in public. But before this relationship could go any further, it went kaput. Sources say that it was Salman's possessive and aggressive nature that caused the crack. But who will ever know the truth? Both the stars still avoid each other in getting bump into any social gatherings.

Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were deeply in love with each other and have also openly admitted their relationship in media. While we're on the subject, the couple were also caught in a leaked MMS, where they were see indulging in some lip-lock and tongue-lock sessions. Well everything was going well, till they two had a bitter fall-out on the sets of 'Jab We Met'. Although Bebo is now happily married with Saif Ali KHan, but the duo still doesn't see an eye-to-eye to each other!

Next on the list is Bebo's sister Lolo! Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan met when the former was shooting with Amitabh Bachchan in a film. Sparks flew and the two seemed to meet more often which ultimately led to their engagement on senior Bachchan's 60th birthday. While fans were celebrating the good news, Lolo and junior Bachchan suddenly called off their engagement. This news shocked everyone and Lolo went ahead to marry Sanjay Kapur. One still says that the crack between Bachchan and Kapoor family is still not being healed!

John Abraham and Bipasha Basu were deeply and madly in love with each other, where the couple had a decade long relationship. However, no sooner all of a sudden something went wrong and the couple not only parted their ways, but also had a worst and bitter break-up with each other. Apparently Bips blamed John through various sources in media, but the actor never spoke a work related to his past-relationship. Meanwhile, sources also suggest that it all started when Bipasha had an intimate affair with her Singularity co-star Josh Hartnett. Well, the two still avoid each other at any cost!

Lara Dutta and Kelly Dorjee were madly in love and the couple was in a live-in relationship for almost eight years. But it seems that Lara chose to dump Kelly for the more successful tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi. While the two started dating, it is believed that a much married Mahesh left his wife Shwetha for Lara Dutta. Seems like someone's loss is someone's gain!

Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon were said to be in madly love with each other. Their love bloomed with the release of their film Mohra in 1994. On the surface level, their love-story looked picture perfect. Raveena in an interview to Stardust in 1999 also revealed that Akshay will marry her the day she will finish her last shoot. The actress also admitted that Akshay and she had got engaged secretly in a temple. However, with Akshay's flirtatious nature, Raveena just could not take this unfaithfulness anymore and finally was left heartbroken and shattered. Post her break-up the actress gave many sensational interviews against Akshay in the media.

Sanjay and Madhuri were the most gossip and talked about couple of the 90s, who everybody was just couldn't get enough of. A perfect match, if there ever was one. However their 'rumoured' courtship didn't last very long and both have maintained a long-drawn silence over their 'suspect' love affair. Earlier a clearly besotted Sanjay was seen doting on his ladylove at interviews and social do's, and they were looking like in a complete love with each other, where even the denials couldn't measure up. This was more than a fairytale saga.

Actress Preity Zinta was dating with entrepreneur Ness Wadia, but unfortunately ended their 5- year long relationship, for which the reasons is still unknown. However, despite the fact that they parted their ways but they took the decision to continue their partnership in their tenure of the IPL team Kings XI Punjab. They generally try to avoid each other, but seems like one just can't go so far when you're technically on the "same team"!

The very popular cricketer Yuvraaj Singh was dating with a very bubbly and budding actress Kim Sharma, but the couple ended their relationship in a bad taste. The exact reason of the split is not yet known, but some reports say it was Kim's consistent indulgence in skin-show in films, along with smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol openly in parties, that made Yuvi's mom disapprove of her. There are also rumours that Kim and Yuvraj's affair has been on the rocks for some time, because of their differences cropped in their personalities, leading to constant arguments and verbal fights. On Simi Garewal's show, Yuvraj Singh mentioned that his break up with Kim Sharma affected and was result of his high blood pressure. He accepted that he was in deep love with the Bollywood actress and was about to tie the knot. The heartbroken Yuvraj said that it was tough for him to come out of the relationship and get on with life.

Although it was an extra-marital affair, but Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's much-talked about love story always remained a mystery. Their love story began on the sets of film Do Anjaane. They even made headlines saying that Rekha and Amitabh have got secretly married, where these speculations caught more fire when Rekha turned up at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's wedding wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. After the shoot of Silsila, Amitabh-Rekha's relationship began to fade. Post-Silsila, Amitabh is said to have ignored Rekha altogether till this date.

Well, there are more number of actors and actresses in the list, and thus seems like although relationships do come and go in the world of Bollywood, but we wish no more sour relationship comes in the list from now onwards.

Whether it is Ganesh Chaturthi or Janmashtami, festivals have always found its special place in Bollywood films. This time, we are celebrating the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi with sweets, modaks, singing and dancing. And for that, we present you the top 5 contemporary Hindi songs of the elephant headed-god.

Prabhu Deva's ABCD (Any Body Can Dance), a song titled as 'Sadda Dil Vi Tu' is not only a visual joy, but also an upbeat and foot-tapping number. It's being composed on a high note, which is literally an ode to Lord Ganesha. Hard Kaur has introduced a bit of rock-version into the Ganpati aarti which works superbly well, making this a hatke track without losing any of its devotional value. Composers Sachin and Jigar have done an excellent job with the music by mixing various sounds.

Singer Ajay Gogavale's powerful voice makes this devotional song, Deva Shree Ganesha, as a treat for the ears. From the Hrithik Roshan starrer film Agneepath, this influential composition is done by Ajay-Atul, who have used the nagada brilliantly in the number. And not to forget, the last minute of the song will certainly take you on a high-note with its repetitive aarti chants!

Sung by Wajid, the song 'Tera Hi Jalwa' features Salman Khan in lead and is yet again from Prabhu Deva's super-hit film 'Wanted'. It's an ideal song to let your hair down and rejoice the festival, just like Sallu does in the movie. The track has a very desi touch to it, which is why it had turned out to be an instant popular among street urchins, taporis and community celebrations.

This song from the Shahrukh Khan starrer 'Don:The Chase Begins' is an energetic number and rejoiced the festive season with spectacle and magnificence. 'Morya Re' has been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, written by Javed Akhtar and is being composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. It's the perfect number for the occasion and will get you grooving to the beats in an honor of Ganpati.

The song "Shree Ganeshay Dheemanhi" from the 2005 film 'Viruddh... Family Comes First' was selected from one of the Stavanas of Lord Ganesha from Marathi music maestro Ajay-Atul. It's quite simple and can be defined as the form of Aarti for Ganpti Bappa. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, it's a family drama movie that stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham. Viruddh is one among relatively few Hindi films that is not a musical, where the soundtrack is instead primarily used as background.

Domestic violence is a legal offence, and we have seen many times were the celebrity couple often gets physically bruised by their respective partners, rather than just finishing it off the heated argument verbally. The one who beats up also justifies that it's just their over-hyped expression, but we believe this is something that exists still today and sadly going strong!

A sex-symbol of yesteryear and former beauty queen, Zeenat Aman, was in a relationship with an already married man Sanjay Khan. However, their relationship ended on a terrible note.

From yesteryear hits to recent numbers, B-Town has captured the spirit and colours of the festival through some of the most popular chartbusters that have remained deep-rooted in the memory of moviegoers over the years.

So with the gorgeous leggy beauty Deepika Padukone being new in the league, here are some of the hot divas of Bollywood, who had merely sizzled their fans while doing Garba in their contemporary movies.

The style icon Deepika Padukone will now be seen as a traditional girl in her upcoming film Ram-Leela (2013). And not only this, she had ensured to make us forget all our previous memories with Bollywood's Garba tracks. In short, Dippy has put forth her amazing grooving skills with 'Nagada Sang Dhol' song in the movie, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's knack of making his heroines look fabulous on the screen, it only adds to the anticipation.

Ash shook her legs on popular 'Dholi Taro' song from her award winning film Hum Dil Chuke Sanam (1999), and simply mesmerized everybody. Besides her dancing skills, it was her charismatic onscreen chemistry with ex-beau Salman Khan that had enthralled the masses. Sung by Vinod Rathod and Kavita Krishnamurthy, the unmatchable energy and appealing rhythm of the song has even enticed many to become garba fan.

Another Garba number featuring Aishwarya Rai, in which this green eyed diva has been projected as a Garba queen, is the one from Bride and the Prejudice (2004). In the film, she had once again danced to her peppy 'Dola Re' lyrics, and for a second time mesmerized everybody. She was paired opposite Hollywood star Martin Henderson in this Gurinder Chadha's film, where they both realised their lovey-dovey attraction towards each other in this dandiya song sequence.

When an entire movie has got its premise embedded in the soil of Gujrat, then one can sure expect a Dandiya-Garba sequence in it. Yes, you got it right! We are talking about the acclaimed movie 'Kai Po Che!' (2013), in which the beautiful actress Amrita Puri grooved herself in one of the popular song, titled as Pari Hun Main. Well, although this Garba sequence was on the song of pop singer, Sunita Rao, but in-spite of that, Amrita along with Raj Kumar Yadav very well revived the spirit of Gujarati culture. As the film was set in Ahmedabad, filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor didn't disappoint the Amdavadis.

Many of you may have forgotten this song that features the sizzling Urmila Matondkar along with Sanjay Dutt, from their romantic drama movie Khoobsurat (1999). However, at the time when the song made it to audio stores, people became familiar about a new skill spectrum of the sexy-siren Rangeela girl. Sung by Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy, Urmila is seen confessing her love for Sanjay Dutt, which is just the kind of romance you would associate with the festival of Navratri.

Lastly, the sizzling and bubbly hot Ameesha Patel teamed up with the mind-boggling dancer Hrithik Roshan in a Garba number 'Ore Gori' song from their film 'Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage'. Well, they literally left everyone surprised by her cultural dancing skills. Sung by Udit Narayan and Pamela Jain, the eight minute long number is a sheer visual pleasure to watch and as well as listen. It's definitely one of the shining moments in this otherwise forgettable flick.

Karva Chauth is a popular festival done by Hindu women for the long life of their husbands or fiances. Because of its enormous cultural and social importance, and emotional attachment between the spouses, Karva Cauth festival has become well-known in the modern times. Traditionally, on the occasion of Karva Chauth, married women abstain from eating or drinking water from sunrise till the moment of the moonrise, for the well-being of their husbands/fiances by following rituals. They break their day long fast, only after the moon becomes visible in the evening and when husbands offer water or food.

Now portraying such traditions has become an important aspect of our Hindi movies. On the occasion of Karva Chauth, here's a look at the unusual and interesting depiction of the festival in Bollywood over the years.

Though we have seen Karva Chauth sequences in a couple of recent films, one of the first movies to have a full-fledged Karva Chauth sequence was seen in 'Maang Bharo Sajana'. Released in the 1980's, this movie starred Jeetendra, Rekha and Maushmi Chatterjee in lead.

In Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, one can perhaps be called the most famous Karva Chauth sequence in Bollywood. Here both Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol fast for each other, and break it after SRK manages to sneak out of the main ceremony to meet and break Kajol's fast, Faking a dizzy spell she manages to partake the first sip of water from Shahrukh's hand.

The first film that showed a larger than life 'Karva Chauth' ceremony was in Sooraj Barjatya's 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun!'. Barjatya, who is quite known to make family dramas, showcased the festival of Karva Chauth flamboyantly with the participation of entire family.

In Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Aishwarya Rai is forced by her family to marry Ajay Devgn. Even during her Karva Chauth, she wants to see her love Salman Khan's face, but she has to face Ajay. Also Ash imagined her lover Salman in the song 'Chand Chupa Aanchal Mein...' and not her reel-husband Ajay Devgn.

Baghban is a touching tale of an old couple, where the old-aged Hema Malini is shown keeping a 'vrath' for her eternal lover-husband Amitabh Bachchan. Karva Chauth confirms the strong bond between a husband and wife, and Amitabh and Hema Malini's touching portrayal of a 60-plus husband-wife in Baghban was played with perfection.

In Humare Dil Aapke Paas Hai, Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya are seen in a Karva Chauth sequence. Although the couple aren't married, nor do have they proposed each other, but they have a strong bonding of love between them.

In Yes Boss, Juhi Chawla fasts for Shah Rukh Khan, even though they aren't husband and wife in the movie. The lead characters are forced by situations to act as married partners, but Juhi sticks to the tradition to keep Shah Rukh's mother happy.

This was a rather bizarre Karva Chauth sequence in movie 'Biwi No. 1'. Salman Khan is married to Karisma Kapoor, but he is with his lover Sushmita Sen when it's time to break the fast. However, then his pet dog comes and breaks the tradition, where Salman eventually gets caught red-handed by Karisma.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is a typical Karan Johar film, where like everything else, the blissful tradition of Karva Chauth is being celebrated lavishly. The famous reel-life couple Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol refreshes the memory of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, and the celebrated real-life couple Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan are seen celebrating the festival in this movie.

In Ishq Vishk, Amrita Rao and Shahid Kapoor are just college students and not married, but the former still wants to keep a 'vrath' for her boyfriend, and Kapoor obliges, although half-heartedly. It's quite sweet and cute sequence, where the makers have shown a true love inside girl's heart. After watching this, many lovebirds may have been motivated to follow the rituals.

Looks like gone are the days when a Bollywood movie was entering into the coveted Rs. 100 crore club, and a lot of buzz was going around from creating headlines to record breaking spree. The recent trend is Rs. 200 crore club, and thus we present you the movies that crosses this much-hyped mark.

In this edition of Box Office Report Card, we take a look at the films that have managed to break the barrier of Rs. 200 crore. In a comparative analysis, there are just three Hindi movies as of now, who have broken this mark against each other.

The very first movie in Bollywood that entered into the club of Rs. 200 crore was Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer '3 Idiots' (2009) and made Rs. 202.47 cr. In August this year, we saw Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer movie going all guns roaring with Chennai Express. Although it went on to become one of the biggest hits crossing the 200 crore barrier, along with breaking the record of '3 Idiots', we take a look at the more recently released film Krrish 3 which is the new entrant to the club.

3 Idiots record of entering the 200 crore club was made after approximately 70 days. Released during Christmas in 25 December 2009, it made Rs. 202.47 crore till March 4, 2010. Aamir Khan achieved this milestone when he was 45 years old, whereas Kareena achieved it when she was nearly 30 year old. Director Rajkumar Hirani achieved this milestone when he was 47 year old. 3 Idiots was released in 1700+ screens.

Shah Rukh Khan's film entered into the club in just 15 days. Released on 8 August 2013, the movie made Rs. 227.13 crore till 22 August 2013. SRK achieved it near to his 48th birthday, whereas Deepika achieved this milestone at the age of 27 year old. Rohit Shetty achieved it at the age of 40 years. Chennai Express was released in 3500+ screens in the domestic circuit.

Krrish 3 however took just 10 days from its release date to make it into the 200 crore club. Released on 1 November 2013, it made Rs. 206.35 crore till 10 November 2013 (still counting as on date). Hrithik is the youngest actor to enter the club achieving this milestone closer to his 40th birthday. On the other hand, Priyanka, who is currently 31 year old, becomes the oldest actress to be the part of the 200 crore club. Also 64 years old Rakesh Roshan becomes the oldest director/producer to enter in 200 crore club. Considering the above two movies, Krrish 3, on the other hand, was released in 4400 screens in India.

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has put all his efforts to make this one as an epic drama, which is being actually called his magnum opus.

The intense love story 'Ram-Leela' brings together Sanjay Leela Bhansali with the raw and explosive powerhouse talents in Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. With ever since the promos look incredibly appealing and promising; here we present the top 5 reasons on why one should watch this epic drama film.

If the rumours are to be believed, then the alleged lovey-dovey relationship between the lead pair - Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone - have been going on from the time when the shooting of Ram-Leela begun. And thus to create such a remarkable and matchless chemistry on-screen would be quite easier for the couple. In addition, the long passionate lip-lock and lovemaking sequences between them have further added ripples, and thus the full-fledged three hour romance is a sure shot appealing for the moviegoers.

Ranveer Singh is in news ever since he started shooting for the movie, because of his new look and heroic moustache. The energetic and expressive young Ranveer has remained in character, keeping his facial hair untouched for the movie and the following promotions. It's surely quite interesting to see how he carries off his Gujarati character with the rustic and bare-chested look in the film.

Adding to this, the very gorgeous leggy beauty Deepika Padukone, who is in unearthly, heavily embroidered lehengas and traditional outfits, in Ram-Leela is a style-hit. She also looks quite versatile playing as a hot-headed Guajarati girl and yet again proves that she can adopt any character that she wants.

Touted to be as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram-Leela is certainly most exciting to watch the tragic love story, set in Gujarat, which is being portrayed on the silver screen perhaps first time in Bollywood. The movie not only follows the tragic side, but also shows the passionate and some zealous moment between the lead pair. While we're on the subject, how can we not mention the huge colossal set of created by Bhansali in the movie, which is nothing but a visual treat for the audience.

Earlier it was being speculated that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would be making her comeback through a sizzling item number in her favourite Bhansali's film Ram-Leela. However, all went wrong when the filmmaker signed the diva Priyanka Chopra as his item girl, who was initially roped in to play female lead in place of Dippy. Well now as the song is out on YouTube, it deserves a treat for the fans of PeeCee, who scorches the screen in her skimpy traditional outfits. The hot and sizzling item song is presently creating waves ever since its release, and continues to rule the music charts, and thus is a must watch on the big screen.

Lastly, the alleged lovebirds, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, have literally left no stone unturned to ensure that their movie would become a much-talked about story in the town at every given stage. From appearing on popular reality shows to chat shows, from radio interviews to giving controversial statements, the Ram Leela duo has been seen everywhere and anywhere.

Muhammad Yusuf Khan, popularly known as Dilip Kumar, is described as the ultimate method actor. He debuted as an actor in the film 'Jwar Bhata' in 1944, which was produced by Bombay Talkies, and his career spanned over six decades with over 60 films. Although there are number of movies, but we present here the top 10 among those, who are the most memorable one according to us.

Shaheed is a 1948 Hindi film directed by Ramesh Saigal. It starred Dilip Kumar, Kamini Kaushal, Chandra Mohan and Leela Chitnis. The film depicts India's struggle for independence. After Jugnu (1947), his next major hit was the 1948 film Shaheed.

These films established his screen image as the "Tragedy King". He was the first actor to win the Filmfare Best Actor Award for Daag and went onto win it again for Devdas, which was directed by Bimal Roy, based on the Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novel, Devdas.

Naya Daur is a 1957 Indian drama film starring Dilip Kumar, Vyjayanthimala, Ajit and Jeevan. Dilip Kumar was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film.

During filming, the film production was involved in a highly controversial and widely publicized court case. Initially the actress Madhubala was cast as the female lead. An advance payment was given to her and shooting began and continued smoothly for 15 days. Director B.R. Chopra wanted the unit to travel to Bhopal for an extended outdoor shooting. Ataullah Khan, the father of Madhubala, objected to this and claimed that the entire Bhopal schedule was a trick to give Dilip Kumar the opportunity to romance his daughter (Kumar and Madhubala were in a relationship at that point of time). Finally, Chopra sued Madhubala for the cash in advance she received from him and now had no intention of completing the film.

He replaced her with the South Indian actress Vyjayanthimala who acted with Kumar in Devdas. Madhubala obediently supported her father despite her commitment to Dilip Kumar. The actor then confirmed the facts in favor of the director B.R. Chopra, and had gone against Madhubala and Ataullah Khan in an open court. The case was lost by Madhubala and her father along with much negative publicity. During the case, the film was released and declared a success. Chopra dropped the case and saved Madhubala from the humiliation of a possible prison sentence.

Madhumati is a 1958 Hindi film produced and directed by Bimal Roy, and written by Ritwik Ghatak and Rajinder Singh Bedi. The film stars Dilip Kumar and Vyjayantimala in the lead roles along with Pran and Johnny Walker. It was one of the earliest films to deal with reincarnation and had a gothic noir feel to it. The first and only collaboration between Roy and Ghatak, it was one of their most commercially successful and influential films.

Dilip Kumar was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film. Along with this, he had also done many tragic roles in films like Jogan (1950), Deedar (1951), Daag (1952), Devdas (1955), and Yahudi (1958). These films established his screen image as the "Tragedy King".

Mughal-E-Azam is a 1960 Indian period epic film directed by K. Asif and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji. Starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Madhubala and Durga Khote in the lead roles, the film follows the love affair between Mughal Prince Salim (Dilip Kumar) and a court dancer Anarkali (Madhubala).

Upon its release on 5 August 1960, the film broke box office records in India, becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, a distinction it held for 15 years. The film won accolades including one National Film Award and three Filmfare Awards.

Asif had initially rejected Dilip Kumar for the role of Prince Salim. The actor was reluctant to act in a period film, but accepted the role upon the insistence of the film's producer. According to Dilip saab, "Asif trusted me enough to leave the delineation of Salim completely to me". Dilip Kumar visited London to test the wig he would wear in the film. He also faced difficulty while filming in Rajasthan due to the heat and the body armour he wore.

In 1961 he produced and starred in Ganga Jamuna in which he and his brother Nasir Khan played the title roles, this was the only film he produced. Directed by Nitin Bose, it's a dacoit drama Bollywood film. The film stars Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala in the lead with Nasir Khan, Azra, Leela Chitnis, Kanhaiyalal, Anwar Hussain, Nasir Hussain and Helen forming an ensemble cast.

Notable for its use of Bhojpuri dialect and its rustic setting, the film features real life brothers Dilip Kumar and Nasir Khan in the title role, is on the story of two brothers, Gunga and Jumna, the poignancy of two brothers on opposite sides of the law. The film and the lead actors, Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala won a lot of accolades for their performance. Dilip saab was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film.

In 1967 Dilip Kumar played a dual role of twins separated at birth in the hit film Ram Aur Shyam. Directed by Tapi Chanakya, the theme of the film owes its origins to Alexandre Dumas, pre's story The Corsican Brothers: twins who look remarkably alike but have very different temperaments. In The Corsican Brothers the twins grow up together. In Ram aur Shyam, on the other hand, they have been separated at birth and discover each other only towards the end. Lead actor Dilip Kumar won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film.

In 1982, he played the father of Amitabh Bachchan in Ramesh Sippy's Shakti for which he won yet another Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Although the film was only a moderate success at the box office, it was notable for being the first and only film to feature veteran actors Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan together on screen. Big B easily steals the show in what is clearly one of his most memorable performances overshadowing Dilip Kumar, who won Filmfare award for best actor that year. The role was written more favorably for Dilip Kumar but Amitabh won the public accolades, despite of the fact that Amitabh was given very dialogues for his baritone. Well, reportedly this all resulted into Dilip Kumar deciding not to come together with Amitabh on screen thereafter.

In 1991, he starred alongside veteran actor Raaj Kumar in Saudagar, his third and last film with Subhash Ghai. On the other side, this was his second film with Raaj Kumar after 1959's Paigham. Saudagar was Kumar's last box office success, for which he was also nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award.
