This week's Open Magazine column by Rajeev Masand. The answer is very clear if you have been following the magazine posts that came on PV this week. A sad story this one:(

A leading male star is hopping mad at a film glossy for running an expose on his alleged affair with a popular actress. The story, which quotes unnamed sources, hints that the married actor has long had a roving eye and is known to fool around with his female co-stars. The story also suggests that the actor made the crucial mistake of promising this particular actress marriage in return for sleeping with him, and the actress made the crucial mistake of believing him.

This expose has apparently caused havoc in the actor’s home and his marriage, and he is said to be considering legal action against the publication for defaming him in this manner. The actor is also rumoured to have put his cronies on the job to find out who it was exactly who planted this story in the magazine.

From what one hears, it was the actress herself who in a weak moment revealed these and many such intimate details of their relationship to a gossip hack on condition of anonymity. Hurt at being used and subsequently discarded by the actor—who she alleges has stopped working with her and even acknowledging her publicly since their break-up—the lady hit back, never so much as stopping to consider that she could well turn out to be collateral damage in the explosion that would most likely follow.

I've not heard any scandals from Abhishek post marriage.
I still think he's at least BI , like Shreyas, Ritest etc.

Kajol, Suzanne,Gauri, Twinkle,Karishma all do not want to leave their A-list husbands and their huge McMansions . You get used to a certain lifestyle, and no way will they find another A-list hero or even a suitable millionaire without baggage to marry once they are around their 40s.

Sucks. I think they should go the Hollywood way ,screw society and just take off with 50% of their husbands money, and start over. We must be ruthless, ladies!

Kangana has set an example of standing up for herself. No doubt you can be attracted to a married man and vice versa, after all one is human, and can even fall in love, but one should draw the line there and control oneself. Having high hopes of marriage is being naive. 9 times out of 10 that won't happen is what I feel. I still cannot imagine Ajay in this role. Man, to be single is a blessing and being smart when all around you see marriages breaking apart/covert affairs going on.
................................................................................................
i completely agree. i agree with Kangana's point too, that she doesnt believe in marriage. She is a young, good looking, independent girl without any godfather in bollywood. she must have experienced a lot of unwanted advances from so called 'family men' in bollywood for her to make a statement like that. I am sure she has completely lost faith in marriage and the term 'husband'.

my dad has cheated on my mom numerous times. my mom knows but she stays mum cause she has no financial safety net.

Soon we"ll have a mini revolution for women. seems women are slowly getting tired of Men cheaters. I always believed in SRK even in the heat of the affair issues but people like Ajay , Hrithik , Arjun rampal etc are meant to cheat- they look like cheaters but SRK ? I was in shock and still am. Their women are still with them whichever way, meaning women are allll desparados.those without men hang on the married ones and wives hang on to their cheating husbands = desparados ALL. the end

Schumuck - many women put up their men, simply because ignorant people like you will turn around and say, like mother like daughter. Oh the mother had failed relation, no wonder the daughters marriage didnt work our, no doubt Uday left her sister too, and, knowing the characteristics of your kind breed, wlll go one step furthur, and say its in her genes, same thing will happen to her daughter too.
Its unusual of you not to slinging the mud on her. Seems like, you got a heavy dose of advice from some of the people on this site.

You all need to read Aishwarya' statement. She rarely speaks on Salman but she did in this one instance when the media were hounding her.
She wrote that ONE: Salman did abuse her
TWO: Salman did cheat on her (she referred to his infidelities.)

People have no idea of their history to be talking like Salman is some hero.

Anonymous's picture

I'm amazed when Salman fans deny that he abused Aishwarya. How much more evidence do you need

Why does Kajol put up with Ajay?

PrincessRuchi's picture

I just wanna point out that just because some ppl defend Salman does not mean they are anti-SRK and just cz someone is an SRK fan, doesnt mean they are anti-Salman.

I have loved both Rahul and Prem as characters and will continue to look forward to movies in which they feature as heroes.

Extra marital affairs is the topic of discussion her so lets stick to that.

Also, Salman Khan did abuse Ash. His agression was noticed by a lot of people. I'm not denying that. All I'm saying is, he did have relationships where he left his other half feeling loved. Many a times things dont work out between 2 ppl...that doesnt mean he hit all of them.

He's still hungover Katrina Kaif. Its not like he's married her and having an affair with someone else.

Abisheks respect for woman, as per you, you seem to know all is not by choice but he is forced, his hands are tied as his mother looked the other way while his dad was cheating messing their lives and other womens. I think poor Abhi stayed in his mothers shadow first and wives shadow now.
The past behavior doesnt guarantee the future.
I hope and pray he doesnt, its the kids who suffer the most anyway.

it's not PC cus PC knows how to work neg/pos publicity into her favor. And she's not that single minded that she would expose her affair just to get back at SRK. So yeah it's def Ajay and kangana. Kanganae doesn't know the intricate workings of the bollywood as she thinks that she does.

Wake up people, Most men including your dads, brothers and husbands cheat as soon as they find an opportunity and as long as so many women are ready in a heartbeat to bed them for their financial or professional gain.
Most men think there is nothing wrong as long as they are good husbands, father( I guess they make up their own definition for good and justify their behavior) and good providers.
And most women when find out stay with the man for various reasons•
Could be because of fin. support.
may be weak and ashamed of being a divorcee. The society tend to put more blame on the woman than man knowing the man had many flaws.
May be think their kids are better off especially if they have money.

I dont approve of Kanganas affair with married men. But her statement regarding not believing in marriage institution, shuld not upset so many of yous.
We have seen time after time men fooling around with anyone and eveyone, leaving their wives and kids for younger women. And as much as men claim they love their kids, the truth is their love is conditional and again it feeds their own ego. Most of them lavishly spend on girl friends, other women and newer wives, while controlling the ex and kids in name of money. Most men hardly spend time with their kids. We have seem.Aamir, Boney vacationing with their newer brides and new set of kids, and yes I am aware of Aamir taking his kids for vacation here and there.
Thats like a drop of water in a bucket. Its women whether rich or poor who get stuck with no money, all the responsibility and work and she still has to be nice to the ex and inlaws for the sake of kids having some connection with their family and so called dad. The marriage is for men and few lucky women who have gotten good men, likes of Yash Chopra, Dilip, may be Jitendra, Suresh Obrie who love to flaunt their families and give them love, affection, a true home rather than flaunting their egos and misusing their power.
And lot of marriages that do seem to work out there ,bolywood and non bolywood, most women just put up the abuse from men, be it in the form of cheating, drug, alcohol addiction, or physical abuse.
I think the time has come for women to think the Kangana way.
And isnt our society loves and admire women like PC, Rani, Sri Devi, Kiron, Shabana, Hema.
It seems like The Other Woman has better place in society. She doesnt have to work hard and compete with rest of the crowd to move up in professional world. Once she moves up there, she slowly pull the rug underneath and becomes the New Mrs. so and so.. And probably the husband wouldnt cheat on her knowing the new wife wouldnt think twice cheating on him, and they probably black mail these stupid men all along climbing the ladder of Mrs. Successful.

SHUT UP you desperate Salman fans!!! Go justify the violent behaviour of your hero, losers! Bringing in SRK in every post on PV that is not even related to him. Desperate, truly desperate!

Ajay is known for this n kajol doesn't say anything....she has turned a blind eye....all these stars have slept with someone....there were articles abt SRK, Abhishek, Hrithik n now Ajay....yes Masand only wrote abt AB having someone in his room while Ash was pregnant....i think its becoming normal to have an affair in bollywood...

HAS to be, because, SRK doesnt acknowledge PC anymore..

Why are any of you even surprised that people (married or not) in the film industry sleep around/have affairs ???

This is common knowledge.

Anonymous's picture

This is so hard for me to believe because I had always looked at Ajay thinking he was such an introverted and work-focused man. I had never once thought of him as being able to do such things. To think of him being this way is very hard. I am still not sure how true this is but if it is, apperances can be so deceptive. All men better be careful when having flings-the girl can turn on you like Kangana did. Kangana has set an example of standing up for herself. No doubt you can be attracted to a married man and vice versa, after all one is human, and can even fall in love, but one should draw the line there and control oneself. Having high hopes of marriage is being naive. 9 times out of 10 that won't happen is what I feel. I still cannot imagine Ajay in this role. Man, to be single is a blessing and being smart when all around you see marriages breaking apart/covert affairs going on.

It's AJAY AND KANGANA for sure ...this magazine had came out recently on here... i didn't knew ajay wud do somthing like this inspite having a beautiful wife kajol and 2 little kids at home... shame on u ajay devgan

Anonymous's picture

Its ajay devgon.he is one of clever men who do everything wrong But know how to hide.I am sure kajol knows everything but being dumb by choice. These hero's wives need to confront their husbands and stop them from playing with life of them,kids and the other girls too.
Its easy to sit back and ignore everything and think that ITS OK IF HE HAS AFFAIR BUT HE STILL WITH ME AND KIDS AND NOT GONNA LEAVE US.THESE ACTOR WIVES NEED TO STOP THINKING LIKE THIS AND STAND FOR RIGHT.

Anonymous's picture

If this is true, how come Kajol showed up at a recent event looking all normal and happy if am remembering right. Was it KJO's party? There didn't seem any big trouble going on from looking at her.
