Breakups can be messy, but when you’re a celebrity, the drama often unfolds in the public eye. From cryptic social media posts to fiery interviews, some stars haven’t held back when it comes to throwing shade at their exes. Kangana Ranaut, Preity Zinta, Vivek Oberoi to Sajid Khan; here’s a look at celebs who allegedly aired their heartbreaks for the world to see.
Kangana Ranaut and Aditya Pancholi
Kangana Ranaut’s allegations weren’t limited to Hrithik Roshan; she also spoke about her troubled past relationships. Reflecting on her time with Aditya Pancholi, she made shocking revelations, highlighting the challenges she faced in their relationship.
“I was physically abused. This man who was my father’s age hit me hard on my head when I was 17. I started bleeding. I took out my sandal and hit his head hard and he started to bleed too. I lodged an FIR against the man,” Kangana told Barkha Dutt at her book launch.
Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia
A leading actress and a prominent businessman began their fairytale romance in 2005, even co-owning the IPL team Kings XI Punjab. However, their relationship took a bitter turn, ending with Preity Zinta filing a complaint against Ness Wadia on June 13, 2014, accusing him of molestation, threats, and abuse.
“He (Ness) intimidated me by saying he could make me disappear as I was a nobody and only an actress and he’s a powerful person… thisincident in Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium has left me shattered and fear for my life.” In the FIR that she filed against him she said, “He came up to me at my seat and started screaming and abusing me in front of everyone… He used foul language, which was demeaning to my reputation and character.”
Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh
After his divorce from Amrita, Saif openly discussed the reasons, alimony, and its aftermath in a 2005 interview. His revelations were brutally honest and unapologetic, offering a rare glimpse into the personal struggles that followed the split.
Talking to The Telegraph, Saif said, “It isn’t nice to be constantly reminded of how worthless you are and to have taunts, jeers, and abuses thrown at your mother and sister all the time. I’ve gone through all of it. It’s also nice to be married to someone who’s fun, beautiful and non-judgemental. All three things. It’s better to have a hot and sexy wife. Never have room for regret and never say, ‘Oh, I wish I was married to a beautiful girl.”
Shilpa Shetty and Akshay Kumar
Deeply in love and planning to marry Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty was left heartbroken when he ended their relationship and married Twinkle Khanna instead. In a bold 2000 interview, she openly spoke about the painful breakup and the emotional turmoil she endured due to Akshay’s betrayal.
In a media interview in 2000, Shilpa said, “Akshay Kumar used me and conveniently dropped me after he found someone else. The only person, I was upset with, was him. But I’m sure he’ll get it all back. It’s not easy to forget the past so soon, but I’m glad I’ve had the strength to move on. Today, he’s a forgotten chapter as far as I’m concerned. I will never work with him again. Professionally, things have never looked better.”
Sajid khan and Jacqueline Fernandez
Although their romance seemed like love at first sight, the couple was reportedly on the verge of marriage. However, Sajid Khan’s alleged over-possessiveness led to their breakup. After their split, the director’s remarks about their relationship made headlines.
In an old interview with TOI, Said said, “”While we broke up in May 2013, in reality right from December 2012, it started becoming sour. When you don’t have a woman in your life, you don’t have someone constantly nagging you, so you end up working better and are more focused. I went for a holiday with her for five days in the middle of making Himmatwala and felt so bad when the film didn’t do well. For Humshakals, I have not taken a single holiday.”
