Deepika Padukone’s JNU Visit Backlash

In 2020, Deepika Padukone visited Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to show solidarity with protesting students. The visit stirred massive political outrage and led to boycotts of her film Chhapaak. While some praised her for taking a stand, others called it a publicity stunt—making it one of Bollywood’s most polarizing moments.

Salman Khan’s Hit-and-Run Case

One of the most talked-about controversies in Bollywood history, Salman Khan’s 2002 hit-and-run case kept the actor entangled in legal battles for over a decade. Accused of running his car over a group of people sleeping on a pavement, the case brought intense media scrutiny. While he was eventually acquitted, the case remains one of the most debated legal sagas in Indian showbiz.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Wankhede Stadium Ban

Even King Khan has had his controversial moments. In 2012, after an alleged altercation with security staff during an IPL match, SRK was banned from Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium for five years. While he defended his actions as protecting his children, the incident left fans divided.

4/5

Kangana Ranaut vs. Hrithik Roshan

This very public and messy fallout started with whispers of a secret relationship and spiraled into a full-blown legal and media battle. Accusations of emails, harassment, and identity fraud turned the feud into national gossip. It showcased how even the biggest stars aren’t immune to personal drama going public.

5/5

Rhea Chakraborty and the Sushant Singh Rajput Case

The tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020 shocked the nation. What followed was a media circus. Actress Rhea Chakraborty, who was dating Sushant at the time, was accused of abetment to suicide, money laundering, and even drug use. She was arrested by the NCB and later released on bail, but the trial by media and intense public opinion marked one of the darkest chapters in Bollywood’s recent history.
