7 Bollywood Actresses That Found Love In Their Second Marriage
The world will have you believe that hum ek baar jeete hain, marte hain, and that we fall in love only once in our lifetime. But I would advise you against taking life advice from a college-student Rahul who wore tight AF tees, fell for the first hot girl that walked into the college and was clearly oblivious to his own best friend’s feelings. This boy knew nothing! Love happens as many times as you allow it to happen. If you keep your heart open, there’s nothing stopping it from walking right in. however, when it comes to marriage, our society isn’t very kind to people who got divorced. There are so many Bollywood actresses who married twice and found love in their second marriage. Thankfully, they didn’t give two hoots about log kya kahenge and prioritised their happiness.
There is a lot of stigma people attach to women having had multiple partners. When it’s a relationship, people are still subtle about it. But when you get divorced, our society likes to believe it must be the woman’s fault. There must be something wrong with her – maybe her character, maybe she was not good at taking care of the house, and so on. If you cite compatibility issues as the reason, they say that’s no reason to get divorced. In fact, how many men are actually open to marrying a divorcee?
Our society isn’t quite there yet but these Bollywood actresses faced no such issues as they found love again.
