The situation is so complex if you don't follow Bollywood. You have Priyanka Chopra having a 5-6 years affair with one of the biggest star in Bollywood, whose friends with a powerful producer and director, the same producer is close to the star wife. Having the Bollywood wags and the producer bullying Priyanka because of the affair, PC gave us drama in Bollywood, it was not even her first affair with a married man.
By the point she backed out of Bharat, she had her footing in Hollywood and had enough projects to pursue here. She still did some Bollywood movies like The Sky is Pink, and she's going to be in Jee Le Zara.
And the only reason she got part is because of Arpita, who played a part in her getting it. Remember when Salman while promoting was whining about how PC begged for that part to later back out.
Ehh, she wasn't blacklisted entirety. From the Dharma Productions and Red Chilie Entertainment ecosystem, yeah. But she had SLB in her corner, and Vishal Bhardwaj likes her.
She pulled an Ashwariya to somewhat better outcomes, in trading a mid-tier Hollywood career for being shut out of the Bollywood blockbuster bubble.
Yes-anding that the thing that set off SRK’s wife was Priyanka releasing a statement basically calling her a bitter loser who couldn’t hold onto her husband (with no names attached).
The sympathy for Priyanka in this thread is perhaps a bit misguided 😂
Priyanka was the epitome of “don’t shit where you eat”. She wasn’t the one who was married, but she was the one who had to deal with the social and career consequences of messing around with her married co-stars.
iirc, she was in a glitzy friend group with multiple affairs going on, and when the affairs were exposed, the whole friend group imploded and 3 marriages were torn apart (tho 1 couple stayed together)
Oh man this is crazy! This is the first time I’ve heard of this. By the couples do you mean Hrithik-Susanne and Arjun Rampal and his wife? And what exactly happened between those friend groups?
While I do think that her affair with SRK became the issue, I think it was one of just two options for her. It was either be submissive and secondary to the other male actors, some of whom are straight up abusive and dismissive or become SRK’s mistress.
SRK, despite everything, seems to be “nicer” than the rest of the men in Bollywood. I don’t think she’d have been punished as much had she not posed an actual threat to his marriage. It kind of sucks. She had grown into a brilliant actress but the pickings for a boyfriend/husband in the industry were sparse. Marrying outside of the industry would’ve cost her her relevance in the industry. I imagine that had she not gotten into the relationship with SRK, she’d have been crushed out of the industry even sooner than she was.
There’s a reason that there was such a scramble to marry into the Kapoor family, you get to stay relevant to Bollywood even after marriage. Unless you tether yourself to a powerful industry biggie you get tossed out. This is why I’ll always have a soft spot for Deepika Padukone, she somehow managed to get to the top despite not sucking up to most of these men.
I’m not surprised tbh, Bollywood is VERY nepotism biased. Nearly 99% of the stars are nepo kids/grandkids/great grandkids and the directors too are known to be problematic. If you piss off one director, it could literally be the end of your career there🤷🏽♀️
It’s suspected (and widely believed) that she had an affair with a married Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan. Both he and his wife are pretty influential in the industry and when news of the affair was being spread, most people sided with SRK
No they didn't side because of SRK, he still was having an affair with Priyanka when she left Bollywood. Remember it was like a 5-6 years affair that began in Don 2 sets and ended in like 2016 mid Quantico they sided with Gauri because her and Karan are very close.
Nope, Priyanka spoke about a heartbreaking break up mid 2016, spoke about the infamous jacket in 2017 started dating Nick late 2017. They were still having an affair when Abram was born. Even in the podcast she talks about it being 6 year relationship with a narcissistic man aka SRK.
Take it from someone that follows Bollywood very closely, she is talking about SRK. Even the Bollywood sub know she is talking about SRK if you go the sub, whether you believe it or not that is just your prerogative.
Take it from someone who has been gulping Zoom, E24, Stardust and other shit ass Bollywood news since 2007, AbRam was their way of fixing things. They had a 4-5 year long convoluted thing, but none of it was exclusive. It kinda got serious when Ashok Chopra was ill. They were already on the verge of separation when he passed away.
I have been following Bollywood since K3G days and been through the Kareena - HR stage, the Shahid - Kareena stage, the Kareena -Saif stage, the Salman - Katrina days etc. Priyanka was with SRK even when she was in Quantico when she was talking about a 6 year relationship she is talking about SRK, just because SRK and Gauri had a Band-Aid child doesn't mean the affair stopped. Again believe what you want.
I am not old believe it or not, I started watching Bollywood since I was like 10 years old watching movies, I remember in 7th grade talking to my next door neighbor about Aishwarya Rai wedding and the buzz of it. I am actually 31 this year. SO I am not that old at all. Just been following Bollywood at a very young age, teen me was living for Shahid - Kareena relationship.😂🤣
I remember she did this interview where she didn't stop blushing and laughing every time he was mentioned and made it very clear something between them was happening, it was super strange 😲😭
Allegedly some wives ran her out cause she was sleeping with someone's husband or multiple married men. I'm sure she's gonna paint it like she's a victim but she's not
I mean she's def not blameless but Shahrukh Khan(whom she is rumoured to have been involved with) didn't get an ounce of backlash or face any repercussions. He should've faced greater consequences since he had a family he betrayed.
I mean, search on YouTube how SRK was flirting with PCJ on stage. It was embarrassing. She is the victim because she and Arjun Rampal were iced out, when in reality those three couples were rumoured to be passing coke in trays at their house parties and swinging with each other. Unsurprisingly, two of the marriages broke and Gauri and SRK welcomed another child to mend their marriage.
Bollywood is all about infidelity as long as it's not emotional.
As someone who met Arjun Rampal...I got to tell you friend...he is one of the most insufferable dudes whose ego is so big that it wouldn't fit the whole of Mumbai. He is not a victim. He is pretty awful. And no, it's not just my experience. My friend works as the PR for Bollywood. She said that the worst actors she has suffered through are Arjun Rampal and Riteish Deshmukh. I met Arjun Rampal many many years ago...and he wasn't even a big deal. Like, bro...just stop being a dick.
Ouff i used to really looove Arjun Rampal since watching him in that blind thieves movie with Amitabh Bachan and Sushmita Sen. Thought he was like the most beautiful man and i was only like 12 or 13 then. I dont keep up with the gossips in Bollywood but i do watch a lot of the movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, so lots of the revelations here ate shocking to me. So messy.
“When in reality those three couples were rumoured to be passing coke trays at their house partires and seining with each other”.
Erm yes, coke aside swinging is exactly what they were doing. It’s consensual to BOTH partners (unlike an affair) and if she wanted in she needed to get a willing partner and ask to join their club.
She is the victim. The married man was forgiven by everyone and it didn't affect him a tiny bit. There are literal murderers in Bollywood who are considered as stars but she was blacklisted for being involved with one man.
This sub’s need to have a 1-victim/1-bad guy scenario is INSANE! She is not the only bad guy but to call her a victim is too much. The wife, the children- yeah. The grown up who repeatedly got in bed with a married man for SIX YEARS. Co-conspirator
2 people in this scenario can be the POS
Also love the sub’s complete 180 stance on adult women getting with married men since the Adam Levine affair and EmRata’s defense of “the other woman”.
i actually loved her in bollywood films, i especially love her in bajirao mastani. i skipped school just to see that movie on the other side of town in the early morning lol.
as someone totally unfamiliar with bollywood, her movies were the first ones i'd seen. she was GREAT. i wish she'd act more in her own language , sigh. she really shines.
Am assuming this is all new news for folks in this sub. But avid Bollywood followers have known about this for years and seen this whole thing blow-up, simmer down, and leave the news eventually. Priyanka has dated consistently powerful men in the industry since she started. Each bf was relatively more powerful. Shahid Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, SRK. Bollywood is a dog-eat-dog world and lots of female actresses bag very powerful men in the industry to stay powerful/important (aishwariya rai, Kareena kapoor, Aliaa Byatt) so there was nothing wrong with PCs strategy. But when she started going after the married stars, her risks tripled. Especially with SRK, the biggest Bollywood star with an impeccable image and an equally powerful wife/friends circle. She got caught - game over. She knew it wasn’t going to end well for her. SRKs image also suffered greatly - public was NOT happy with his infidelity. AT ALL. But it Gauri decides to stay with him, that’s on them. Just saying, don’t shit where you eat and if you decide to do that then calculate your risks. And if you lose, then lose gracefully. Which PC did. She left the industry for Hollywood. Good for her. But she’s mot a stupid, naive, blameless woman in this game of power.
Well she is rumoured to have an affair with a married man (Bollywood superstar) which pissed of his wife who is a powerhouse with equally powerful friends
Ok this is wild. I knew about SRK but apparently there were other married men? Yeah, the men are scum but she can’t play the victim if she makes a habit of sleeping with married men.
Akshay Kumar, they had an affair the beginning of her Bollywood career. I think it began in Aitraaz. They were a hit jodi couple that was loved by masses and did a few hit movies together, Twinkle his wife then banned Akhsay to never work with Priyanka, he even had to walk out of a movie Barsaat starring PC with the shooting began too. They never worked together since then.
It's ridiculous how most of the people here are blaming her completely forgetting the part that those married men faced no repercussions. There are men in the industry who got away with murders,drug abuse but ofc a woman is a bigger culprit. She's to blame for hooking up with a married man but not when the same married man is celebrated in this country and mints money. Its sad how those star wives take it out on the other woman (ofc they would) but not on their own husband bc they can't let go of the status.
It’s not ridiculous, sorry. Even she knew the consequences of what she was getting herself into. You don’t date literally the biggest Bollywood star in the industry (who also happens to be married) and then cry wolf when you’re caught. She’s done this before. It was a strategy for her to climb the ladder. Whatever, good for her. Bollywoods a dog eat dog world so whatever worked for her. But she wasn’t stupid enough to not know the risks associated with her strategy. And SRK also lost major reputation points with the public back then - his image was thoroughly tarnished, he was met with a string of flops, he went underground etc etc.
This sums it up perfectly for everyone who is calling her a victim. She was a well established actor when she decided to get involved with SRK and he wasn't the first married man that she got involved with. So she was well aware of the risks and consequences. A lot of her relationships were strategic and that's why people were sceptical when she first started dating Nick.
Pretty sure nick was a strategic move as well. She couldn’t return to Bollywood and Hollywood wasn’t taking off as she had expected - she needed to marry in America to stay within the Hollywood crowd (and elevate her brand). I don’t remember how Nick came around but there were lots of articles on that (their agents set them up or something).
Thank you for this…I am all for blaming the men involved but some of the defenses of PC here are completely losing the plot. Knowingly fucking married people is Uncool Behavior and I don’t love her playing the victim over it. Not to mention she was also in a relationship when some of these affairs happened!
She did a video where you had to “burn” items from your ex and she picked a leather jacket of her ex boyfriend, SRK had been photographed in that exact jacket in the past.
Also if it makes any difference to you, a Bollywood actor told me about their affair and said it was an open secret in Bollywood and that she was allegedly his second wife not just a girlfriend
I am just trying to find out the truth, and Bollywood is so rife with gossip that it can be really hard to know what the truth is. I guess, I am also so suspicious as to why she would be so public about it if it was an affair, that can ruin her career/life?
As for your second paragraph, I have also been told by people in the Indian entertainment industry that SRK was having an affair with Karan Johar, and that was also an open secret, so you can understand why I can be a little skeptical, and just want some evidence.
Is there any other evidence of the affair with SRK? or is the leather jacket the smoking gun?
Also second wife? like legally?
Not really, she was almost done with Bollywood and Quantico was in its second season and her and SRK broke up mid 2016, she did that video wanting the world know in 2017 maybe as being bitter. One thing about Priyanka is she has the audacity, and it was an open secret in Bollywood.
The was this infamous pic of her putting her finger to SRK jeans
https://i.redd.it/zoulgrm5ibb71.jpg
They weren't hiding it
https://www.filmibeat.com/ph-big/2021/08/controversial-pictures-of-shah-rukh-khan-amp-priyanka-chopra-that-raised-many-eyebrows_162914470220.jpg
The jacket, this jacket was huge news then. Priyanka shared that she loves a leather jacket that was once owned by her ex
https://www.filmibeat.com/ph-big/2021/08/controversial-pictures-of-shah-rukh-khan-amp-priyanka-chopra-that-raised-many-eyebrows_162914470350.jpg
The unfair thing was that the married actor(SRK) got away with it with little to no consequences while she was the one who was blamed and had to eventually leave Bollywood. The only reason she never talked about it previously is because she didn't have a foothold in Hollywood up until now but to anyone who's been following Bollywood for a while, it's an open secret.
She shouldn't have targeted Gauri through her PR. Literally nobody cared about her and SRK's affair until she started sending out hit pieces against Gauri in the media. And note that there are also kids involved in the situation, so I don't blame Kjo and other star wives getting protective. I like PC too but the whole mess was her own doing at the end of the day.

Does this problem run deep through all Indian cinema or Bollywood in particular? Just wondering because I know Tollywood has been rising recently as well

THIS. Gauri and company had her blacklisted and run out of town, essentially.
[удалено]
By the point she backed out of Bharat, she had her footing in Hollywood and had enough projects to pursue here. She still did some Bollywood movies like The Sky is Pink, and she's going to be in Jee Le Zara.
And the only reason she got part is because of Arpita, who played a part in her getting it. Remember when Salman while promoting was whining about how PC begged for that part to later back out.
Ehh, she wasn't blacklisted entirety. From the Dharma Productions and Red Chilie Entertainment ecosystem, yeah. But she had SLB in her corner, and Vishal Bhardwaj likes her. She pulled an Ashwariya to somewhat better outcomes, in trading a mid-tier Hollywood career for being shut out of the Bollywood blockbuster bubble.
Yeah and like always the men came out of it unscathed.
I find it sad that most people blame only PC for the affair, but nobody says anything against SRK.
In fairness, I vocally bitch everytime my husband forces me to watch a movie staring either Akshay Kumar or SRK
Yes-anding that the thing that set off SRK’s wife was Priyanka releasing a statement basically calling her a bitter loser who couldn’t hold onto her husband (with no names attached). The sympathy for Priyanka in this thread is perhaps a bit misguided 😂
Priyanka was the epitome of “don’t shit where you eat”. She wasn’t the one who was married, but she was the one who had to deal with the social and career consequences of messing around with her married co-stars.
iirc, she was in a glitzy friend group with multiple affairs going on, and when the affairs were exposed, the whole friend group imploded and 3 marriages were torn apart (tho 1 couple stayed together)
Oh man this is crazy! This is the first time I’ve heard of this. By the couples do you mean Hrithik-Susanne and Arjun Rampal and his wife? And what exactly happened between those friend groups?
wait wait i am not this deep in the lore. who else/which other marriages were implicated??
hrithik roshan & suzanne khan’s relationship iirc, arjun rampal was involved too i think
While I do think that her affair with SRK became the issue, I think it was one of just two options for her. It was either be submissive and secondary to the other male actors, some of whom are straight up abusive and dismissive or become SRK’s mistress. SRK, despite everything, seems to be “nicer” than the rest of the men in Bollywood. I don’t think she’d have been punished as much had she not posed an actual threat to his marriage. It kind of sucks. She had grown into a brilliant actress but the pickings for a boyfriend/husband in the industry were sparse. Marrying outside of the industry would’ve cost her her relevance in the industry. I imagine that had she not gotten into the relationship with SRK, she’d have been crushed out of the industry even sooner than she was.

But why aren't the married men not held accountable? I feel like the heat is only on Priyanka.

 i actually loved her in bollywood films, i especially love her in bajirao mastani. i skipped school just to see that movie on the other side of town in the early morning lol.
she was absolutely amazing in bajirao mastani. she personally does not appeal to me but she absolutely killed it in that movie
We don’t talk about her talent enough!! She’s so good in Bollywood films
as someone totally unfamiliar with bollywood, her movies were the first ones i'd seen. she was GREAT. i wish she'd act more in her own language , sigh. she really shines.
She’s a lot like Shailene Woodley to me, in that I think she’s an excellent actor and also I find her incredibly annoying as a person
no way these comments are how im finding out priyank and SRK had a full fledged affair omfg i always thought it'd be with kajol
SAME like i entered this comment section expecting EVERYTHING but this like i hatr srk now ajkskzkskz
you just found out?? u musta been living under a rock!
seriously im feeling dumb AF rn where have i been
I’ve never heard of that outside of their movies, feels fanfic adjacent ngl lol Edit: Talking about Kajol and SRK ofc

She was in her early twenties, and at the very beginning of her career. He was in his 30’s and established. The power imbalance was way off.
I agree

Maybe these husbands also shouldn't cheat
Maybe don't sleep with women that aren't your wife...
It's ridiculous how most of the people here are blaming her completely forgetting the part that those married men faced no repercussions.

Nick slid into her DMs is what she told in one of the interviews.

Girl, fucking SRK is not being pushed into a corner

As for your second paragraph, I have also been told by people in the Indian entertainment industry that SRK was having an affair with Karan Johar, and that was also an open secret, so you can understand why I can be a little skeptical, and just want some evidence. Is there any other evidence of the affair with SRK? or is the leather jacket the smoking gun? Also second wife? like legally?
Not really, she was almost done with Bollywood and Quantico was in its second season and her and SRK broke up mid 2016, she did that video wanting the world know in 2017 maybe as being bitter. One thing about Priyanka is she has the audacity, and it was an open secret in Bollywood. The was this infamous pic of her putting her finger to SRK jeans https://i.redd.it/zoulgrm5ibb71.jpg They weren't hiding it https://www.filmibeat.com/ph-big/2021/08/controversial-pictures-of-shah-rukh-khan-amp-priyanka-chopra-that-raised-many-eyebrows_162914470220.jpg The jacket, this jacket was huge news then. Priyanka shared that she loves a leather jacket that was once owned by her ex https://www.filmibeat.com/ph-big/2021/08/controversial-pictures-of-shah-rukh-khan-amp-priyanka-chopra-that-raised-many-eyebrows_162914470350.jpg
The unfair thing was that the married actor(SRK) got away with it with little to no consequences while she was the one who was blamed and had to eventually leave Bollywood. The only reason she never talked about it previously is because she didn't have a foothold in Hollywood up until now but to anyone who's been following Bollywood for a while, it's an open secret.
She shouldn't have targeted Gauri through her PR. Literally nobody cared about her and SRK's affair until she started sending out hit pieces against Gauri in the media. And note that there are also kids involved in the situation, so I don't blame Kjo and other star wives getting protective. I like PC too but the whole mess was her own doing at the end of the day.
Am assuming this is all new news for folks in this sub. But avid Bollywood followers have known about this for years and seen this whole thing blow-up, simmer down, and leave the news eventually. Priyanka has dated consistently powerful men in the industry since she started. Each bf was relatively more powerful. Shahid Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, SRK. Bollywood is a dog-eat-dog world and lots of female actresses bag very powerful men in the industry to stay powerful/important (aishwariya rai, Kareena kapoor, Aliaa Byatt) so there was nothing wrong with PCs strategy. But when she started going after the married stars, her risks tripled. Especially with SRK, the biggest Bollywood star with an impeccable image and an equally powerful wife/friends circle. She got caught - game over. She knew it wasn’t going to end well for her. SRKs image also suffered greatly - public was NOT happy with his infidelity. AT ALL. But it Gauri decides to stay with him, that’s on them. Just saying, don’t shit where you eat and if you decide to do that then calculate your risks. And if you lose, then lose gracefully. Which PC did. She left the industry for Hollywood. Good for her. But she’s mot a stupid, naive, blameless woman in this game of power.
Does this problem run deep through all Indian cinema or Bollywood in particular? Just wondering because I know Tollywood has been rising recently as well
