Bollywood couples often present an image of perfection in movies, events, and photos. However, when the truth about their relationships comes out, it feels like they are just acting the part of the ideal man or woman, much like in their films. Today's audience is aware and not only recognizes the mistakes of celebrities but also calls them out. This awareness contrasts with the past when actors were held in such high regard that the media and the public would always support them, regardless of their actions, due to their massive fan following.
Rajesh Khanna, India's first superstar of the 70s, married 15-year-old Dimple Kapadia when he was 31. Despite his fame, which led to extreme fan reactions like women committing suicide upon hearing of his marriage, the relationship was problematic. Rajesh made Dimple quit acting and start a family at a very young age. Their marriage eventually crumbled as Rajesh fell for Tina Munim, leading to their separation and divorce in 1984. Similarly, Amitabh Bachchan, another superstar, was considered a perfect family man but had a highly publicized affair with Rekha, creating tension and scandal. Despite choosing his wife, Jaya Bachchan, over Rekha, the media and public largely supported the affair, highlighting the problematic nature of these relationships.
The impact of these problematic relationships extends beyond the celebrities' lives. Bollywood wives like Jaya Bachchan and Sridevi experienced insecurity and isolation due to their husbands' actions. Actresses like Priyanka Chopra faced significant backlash and were sidelined in the industry due to their involvement with married men, whereas their male counterparts faced fewer repercussions. This double standard highlights the gender bias within the industry. These celebrity relationships also affect the fans, as they are influenced by the behavior and statements of their idols. The portrayal of toxic relationships in Bollywood not only reflects but also potentially reinforces societal norms, where women often stay in unhealthy marriages due to societal pressures and lack of alternatives.
