50 Most Shocking Bollywood Breakups
Breakups are the worst part of anyone's life. When in a relationship, two emotionally involved people who genuinely care about each other go through this phase, which intermittently causes sadness, leading people to depression and anxiety. We somehow manage to heal because we have our privacy and family and friends with us, but for actors and actresses, it gets a lot more difficult to deal with as they are constantly in the spotlight. Ultimately, giving them zero privacy causes anxiety, which then results in lashouts. Some of them manage it well, whereas others worsen the situation. Here are twenty such Bollywood breakups that turned into a ferocious verbal war and made it to the news due to their ugly turnouts.
Karishma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan
They were Bollywood news, as both of them dated for five years and were madly in love with each other. But things didn't go well, and they decided to split up soon after their engagement in 2002. They even had interviews, revealing a lot of things about each other that were supposed to be kept secret. Everyone was shocked when these two broke up, as they were supposed to bring the famous Bachchan and Kapoor families together. Abhishek stated that Karishma Kapoor was abusive, while the latter threw the whole thing on his mother, saying that she was the cause of the breakup. This is one of the most startling celebrity breakups.
Raftaar and Komal Vohra
The famous songwriter and rapper Rafaar tied the knot in 2016 with his lady luck, Komal Vohra, but after six years of marriage, they both decided to call it off and are now getting divorced.

Conclusion
Breakups are painful, whether they're mutual or ugly. In some relationships, the situation worsens and needs to end to preserve each other's sanity and mental well-being. It might be difficult to deal with for a while, but sooner or later you realise that when something's not meant for you, it will never be with you no matter what. It's life, and one must accept what's coming their way gracefully. Breakups should be a lesson in everyone's life; be it how bad or ugly it was, one must create and appreciate what's coming their way.
