Mallika Sherawat
1/8

Mallika Sherawat

Mallika’s divorce from her husband, Karan Singh Gill, is definitely not something hidden in the eyes of the public, even though she never publicly spoke about it. Even though Sherawat did do a few assignments here and there as a model before her marriage. But her real breakthrough was when she got a divorce and starred in Khwahish and Murder.

Raakhee Gulzar
2/8

Raakhee Gulzar

There are many reports that claim that Raakhee’s wish to continue working in movies was not appreciated by the media. So, after a while, the couple started to live separately. However, it was after the separation that the actress started giving some of the biggest hits that her career saw, including the film Sharmilee.

Mahi Gill
3/8

Mahi Gill

Known for her roles in Dev. D and the Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster series, Mahi has captivated the audience with her brilliant performances. Gill blames the fact that she was immature for her divorce. Even though both of them continue to remain good friends, she rocked her career after her separation.

Did you know that the Chak De! girl used to work as an air hostess before she started working in Bollywood? It was during her tenure as an air hostess that she met her husband, Capt.

6/8

Aditi Rao Hydari
7/8

Aditi Rao Hydari

Even though it is not a very well-known fact, the Delhi 6 actress Aditi Rao Hydari was actually married. You see, she comes from a royal lineage and got hitched to her childhood sweetheart at the mere age of 17. Due to the age gap and ideological differences, the couple got divorced when she was 21, and with strong roles in films like Yeh Saali Zindagi, Rockstar, and Delhi 6, the actress made a name for herself.

Chitrangada Singh
8/8

Chitrangada Singh

The Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi star got hitched to Jyoti Randhawa in 2001. Even though she continued to work in the film industry, none of them performed the way Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi did. After her divorce, her name blew up, and her song Aao Raja became one of the most viewed songs on YouTube.
