TOP FIVE: Bollywood break-ups

Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur



Perhaps the most publicised break-up since Aishwarya Rai and Vivek Obeori, this one came as a shock to most people outside the industry. After all, the two had been seeing each other for the last three-odd years. Enough and more has been written about why and how it all happened. But soon enough Kareena was seeing Saif and if our sources are to be believed, Shahid is busy taking Vidya Balan around in a Toyota Innova .


Aishwarya Rai and Vivek Oberoi


Once when a journalist asked Aishwarya Rai about her relationship with Vivek Oberoi (which was at its peak then) Ash apparently sang in a hushed whisper, “Que sera, sera; what will be, will be!” Then a Mumbai tabloid reported that the Bachchan parivaar was waiting for Ash at the gates of the Sarkar premiere for two hours! That was the beginning of the end, in public. Evidently the relationship was over much before that.




Reena Datta and Aamir Khan





Just what went wrong between the two? No one may ever know. But those who have seen and have been close to the couple tell us that it was a very long and tedious affair, which involved regular trips to the marriage counsellor. Newspaper reports insist that the cracks had begun to develop even during their Oscar journey. Kiran and Aamir apparently met on the sets of Lagaan and nothing was ever the same again. Reena was last seen travelling in a Mumbai local train.




Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan







Married for quite some time and with two kids, the Saif-Amrita relationship could not have been stronger. Then Kal Ho Na Ho happened and of course the famous Hum Tum. Saif got his first solo hit in the latter and said ta-ta to Amrita. And grapevine tells us that he even withdrew ALL the money from their joint account just days before dropping the bombshell! Eeeeu… if it’s true, its truly and positively cheap.
