Manushi Chhillar, Sushmita Sen, Shilpa Shetty: Actresses who fell in love with businessmen

Bollywood actresses often fall for their co-stars, but there have been times when the divas find love beyond Bollywood. From Manushi dating a businessman to Sushmita Sen falling for Lalit Modi, take a look at times when Bollywood actresses fell in love with successful businessmen.

The former beauty queen seems to have found love outside Bollywood! Manushi is said to be in a relationship with businessman Nikhil Kamath. According to a news portal, the couple is living together and Manushi’s family is well versed with her beau’s family and friends. Manushi and Nikhil reportedly started dating in 2021 and want to keep their romance low key.

A few months back, Sushmita Sen fans were in for a shock after businessman Lalit Modi referred to the actress as his ‘better looking partner’. The businessman had announced that they are together, but in a short span of time their break-up rumours also surfaced. Lalit Modi removed Sushmita’s name from his Instagram bio, sparking rumours of a split. However, they continue to follow each other on social media.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra tied the knot on November 22, 2009. In May 2012, the couple was blessed with son Viaan and in 2020, Shilpa and Raj welcomed daughter Samisha via surrogacy. Last year, the couple’s relationship went through a tough phase after Raj was mired in controversy related to production and distribution of adult content. However, Raj and Shilpa’s bond only seems to have strengthened through the tough times.

Asin Thottumkal had a hush-hush wedding with Micromax CEO Rahul Sharma on January 19, 2016. The couple had a Christian and Hindu wedding ceremonies hosted in Delhi. Akshay Kumar was the only Bollywood actor to attend the close knit affair, which didn’t have any media presence either. Apparently it was Akshay who played cupid for the couple and hence was a part of the festivity.
