Let us look at some of the forbidden love
stories of Bollywood. We hear about love affairs
amongst Bollywood stars. Most end up with
broken hearts. Here are the top 5 unsuccessful love stories of the most successful
celebrities of Bollywood. These are the off-screen romances of Indian cinema which turned love stories in to hate stories.
The girl
with a golden voice Suraiya met the Dev Anand when she was just in her
teen age. She was on the peak of her career while Dev was just another debutant in
the industry. However, love is too big an emotion to consider such differences.
Soon these two good-looking stars fell in love. However, due to family pressures especially from Suraiya’s grandmother, this love story could
not have a happy ending.
Post-break up Dev Anand called her a coward. At that time, he certainly loved her more than anything in the world. Suraiya, in her interview in 1972, had poured her heart out and reminisced many moments of their love story. She recalled what Dev had told her, “The only religion is love. Don’t letsocial barriers or family influence your heart.” But despite all his efforts, she refused to marry him, a decision which she regretted all her life.
Raj Kapoor, is often remembered for his link-ups with his leading ladies. However, when it came to Nargis, something
special about her made him fall madly in love with her. Although, Aag was
their first film together, their relationship started to bloom with Barsaat.
Their off-screen love was quite evident in their sizzling on-screen chemistry.
Together, they gave many blockbuster hits. The song from Shree 420, ‘Pyarhua iqrar hua’ is still considered as the classic display of romance in
Hindi-films.
However, this love story did not last long because when Nargis met Raj, he was already married. Though Nargis wanted to marry Raj Kapoor, Raj refuse to divorce his wife Krishna. Nargis waited for almost 10 years for Raj but later decided to move on and got married to her co-star from Mother India- Sunil Dutt. Whatever, may have been the outcome, but undoubtedly, Raj-Nargis is the most memorable love affair in the history of Indian cinema.
Madhubala, had an indeed serious relationship with the
legendary actor Dilip Kumar. It was
the premier of their movie Insaniyat, where the press noticed them
publicly walking with interlocked hands, thus leaving no scope for any
questions. Their relationship was an open secret, but then why did not they get
married? A question that still haunts many of their fans.
Madhubala’s father Attaullah Khan was against their
love and never gave Madhubala the permission to marry Dilip Kumar. Madhubala being the obedient daughter never over-ridded her father’s
decision. During the famous court case of Naya Daur, Dilip
Kumar proclaimed in the courtroom that, “I love Madhubala and I shall
always love her till the day she dies.” Not
surprising, even though this love-story came to a tragic end but the two names-
Dilip-Madhubala are still taken in one breath by lovers.
This is
certainly the most unsuccessful love-story of one of the most
successful romantic pairs of Bollywood. Their love story began on the
sets of film Do Anjaane. Soon, their affair came in the
limelight and even made headlines saying Rekha and Amitabh have got secretly
married. But these speculations caught more fire when Rekha turned up at Rishi
Kapoor and Neetu Singh's wedding putting sindoor and mangalsutra.
Many questions about them affair were answered with
this bold step of Rekha. Amitabh Bachchan despite the superfluous love for
Rekha, never admitted it in public. On the other hand, Rekha boldly admitted
her love for him.
In an interview given to Filmfare magazine in 1984, Rekha spoke about Amitabh’s denial of their relationship. She said, "Why should he have notdone it? He did it to protect his image, his family, his children. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him and he lovesme- that’s it!” Silsila was this enigmatic couple's last film together. After the shoot, their relationship began to fade. Rekha wanted to marry Amitabh and did not want to settle down with the tag of the 'other woman' in his life. She realised she has no future in this relationship. With this, their passionate love ended both on and off screen. But even after decades, the heavy aura of this sad love-story still linger.
