The mesmerising world of Bollywood has succeeded in ensnaring the masses and has been doing so, for more than half a century.Very often, we come across the numerous school and college kids trying to emulate the stars who have become iconic figures in the glamour world. However, what kind of men and women are these people in their real loves? In most of the cases, these stars appear like stardusts falling on the earth once they step out of the glitzy world. Let us now, cite a couple of examples of some veteran Bollywood actors and analyze their sojourns as family men in their real lives.

Anil Kapoor in Real Life

Anil Kapoor is deemed to be one of the most ideal figures among the Bollywood stars due to his cavalcade of hit movies. Also, he has intrigued the spectators with his myriad roles, ranging from that of a lanky looking street loafer to that of a sombre business icon. In all his movies, he took up his queue with the angry young men of the 80s.

Anil Kapoor starred in with Sri Devi and Madhuri Dixit, the divas of that decade, thereby filling up the void created by Amitabh’s break after his fateful accident on the sets of ‘Kuli’. Insite of performing with both the Bollywood beauties in numerous movies and giving the box-office hits like ‘Mr. India’ and ‘Tezaab’, he managed to keep his image bereft of all kinds of controversies.

Not even once, was the macho boy stirred, either by ‘Nagina’s’ mystic eyes or by ‘Dhak-Dhak’ girl’s jhatkas. Married to Sunita Kapoor, a renowned jewellery designer, he is a self-contented man and a proud father of Sonam, Rhea and Harsh.

Sonam, as we know, has already stunned her fans with her performance in ‘Saawariya’ and done photo-shoots in a number of magazines. Harsh, on the othet hand, is all set to make his debut in Bollywood. Well, it is believed that behind every successful kid, there is a diligent parent.

In this context, Anil kapoor is an exemplary figure and outshines his brother Bonny Kapoor, who left his former wife and married his brother’s co-star, Sri Devi.

Shatrughan Sinha’s Real Family Drama

Shatrughan Sinha, the yesteryear actor and a veteran MP, however, faltered and dimmed in significance as a family man due to his passionate relationship with Reena Roy.The duo starred together for the first time in ‘Kalicharan’ which was a box-office hit. They performed together in many more movies and their occasional proximities turned into a serious relationship.

Infact, Sonakshi’s striking resemblance with Reena has raised numerous speculations, though the girl in question is not at all delighted with such ‘compliments’ at all! It is believed that Poonam Sinha, his wife had side-stepped and given him a freeway to choose his course of life. It is a well known fact that Reena was madly in love with the Bihari babu during those days and was ready to be taken into the Sinha household as a second wife.

She was, eventually, criticized as a ‘marriage breaker’. Fired by a volley of such accusations Reena was heart-broken and hence, sought her solace elsewhere. Shatrughan Sinha, on the other hand, dilly-dallied between the two women and in the end, remained committed to his marriage. It is believed that he could not sum up enough courage to marry Reena owing to her background as a cabaret dancer. Reena’s mother, on the contrary, alleges that the veteran actor simply took advantage of her daughter’s genuine emotions and left her in a lurch!

What has Mr. Sinha got to say about this?
