B-town is never short of fairytale romances, dreamy weddings and picture-perfect couples, but once in a while, there comes along shocking divorces that crush all those notions of a happy ever after. With actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s marriage now on the rocks with wife of over 11 years, Aaliya demanding a divorce, let’s take a look at some of Bollywood's most shocking divorces from Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan to Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora, and many more.

Bollywood is witnessing another marriage crumble to ashes as actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s wife has gone public about her demand for a divorce and maintenance. It has been reported that Aaliya has even gone the legal route and allegedly sent the actor multiple notices to respond on the divorce documents.

"We have given a time of 15 days to the actor. If he does not answer, we will file a petition in the court whenever it opens," Aaliya’s lawyer Abhay Sahay, said in a statement to ANI, while also claiming that “there are a lot of serious allegations against Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members.”

The actor, who has yet to respond to this, is currently in Muzaffarnagar, tending to his ailing mother after the demise of his younger sister.

Bollywood's power couple Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan, shocked the entire nation when they announced their separation and subsequent divorce. News of their divorce went public just before their 13th wedding anniversary, with many scandalous rumours claiming to be the reason behind the disintegration of their marriage. Despite their divorce, the two continue to put up a united front for the sake of their two kids. Besides co-parenting the boys and heading out together on family holidays, the couple even made headlines when they decided to quarantine together in Hrithik’s plush pad. Interestingly, the latest buzz hints at a possible reconciliation on the cards.

Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora, another picture-perfect couple shocked fans when they decided to pull the plug on their 18-year-long marriage. The two opted to go their separate ways in a low-key divorce agreement. Although the two looked at this divorce in a more positive light, their fans were completely heartbroken. Since calling it quits, the two have been sharing joint custody of their son Arhaan while also moving on in their love lives with Malaika rumoured to be tying the knot with Arjun Kapoor and Arbaaz allegedly ready to settle down with girlfriend Giorgia Andriani.

Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Bhabani, who found love on the sets of 'Dil Chahta Hai', made jaws drop when they announced their decision to end their marriage of 15 years. The reason for their separation is still not known but the two continue to win hearts for maintaining a sweet friendship and showing up for each other’s family functions and even co-parenting their two girls.

Unlike the other stars on this list, Karisma Kapoor’s marriage to Delhi based businessman Sunjay Kapur ended on a rather sour note. The two, who tied the knot in 2003, filed for a divorce in 2014. But, due to reasons best known to her, a year later Karisma withdrew her consent from the divorce and finalised it only in 2016. Despite the heartache and bad blood, the two moved ahead in life with Sunjay marrying again and welcoming a baby with Priya Sachdev.

Konkana Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey’s divorce also remains as one of the most shocking celebrity divorces in the film industry. Without much fuss or controversy, the two quietly pulled the plug on their marriage and approached it in the most mature manner. While Konkana said that her divorce was “an open and shut case”, Ranvir took the onus on himself and said that he was responsible for the crumbling of their relationship.
