11 Bollywood actresses for whom marriage isn’t the only thing in life

Luck has been kind to these beautiful divas of Bollywood in many ways. It helped in finding them the career they love, good movie to add in their gamut of work, a captivating life and lifestyle and what not! But, a keen look at the interiors of their glossy life tells us a different story. Be it, love for singlehood or inabilities to get into a steady relationship, these silver-screen enchantresses haven’t found a place for themselves in the section of marital bliss.

Asha Parekh

The yesteryear’s queen of Bollywood couldn’t find the right guy for marriage. From Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Dev Anand to Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra, Asha worked with all major actors of her time. She once said in an interview that men loved her but found her unapproachable for marriage. It was speculated that the 73-year-old actress was romantically involved with her married director Nasir Hussain.

Tabu

The graceful actress, known for her mature performance and selective roles, must have been too choosy or too demanding in her real life, as the news of her affairs or link-ups is a rare sight. The 44-year-old has also been linked with a few of her co-stars, but the damsel never cared much. And, we love that spirit!

Urmila Matondkar

The lovely Rangeela girl, who once ruled the box office, is now nowhere to be seen. The sex symbol of the 90s believes in living on her terms. A few years back, when she was questioned about her marital plans, the 42-year-old snapped and had said, “Forget marriage, I’ve never felt the need to be in a relationship just for the sake of having a man in my life.” Woohoo! That’s what we call the woman with substance.

Preity Zinta

The cute actress has seen the highs and lows of stardom. Though Preity hasn’t been seen on silver screen for a long time, she seems to have no plans to get into wedlock. Recently, there have been rumours of the 41-year-old dimpled beauty getting married to her American boyfriend Gene Goodenough. However, quashing the grapevine, the actress declared that she has no such plans and said, “Leave my marriage announcement to me.”

Sushmita Sen

Defining every bit of singlehood, former Miss Universe doesn’t see herself in any binding relationship. Living happily with her two adopted daughters, the 40-year-old beauty has never cared about what people thought about her life or numerous relationships. Stay single, stay awesome is her funda for life, it seems. We couldn’t agree more!

Ameesha Patel

Ameesha’s most controversial relationship had been with writer-director Vikram Bhatt. After that Ameesha was often linked with a few of her co-stars or businessmen, but the 39-year-old never came in cordial term with relationships per say. She is known for living her life the way she wants. Well, there’s no harm.

Mallika Sherawat

Bold and sensual Mallika has been the queen of hearts of many. But, as it looks like the sizzling siren’s daring onscreen attitude has come in the way of her relationships. The 39-year-old actress also tried her luck with a TV series The Bachelorette, but couldn’t find someone worthy, as it seems.

Bipasha Basu

The dusky Bengali babe is all over the news these days for her alleged relationship with Karan Singh Grover. The 37-year-old bold and bindaas actress had been in a short-term term relationships earlier with Harman Baweja and has also been handsome hunks John Abraham and Dino Morea’s girlfriend. Rumours have it that Bips can declare her wedding plans anytime now. However, with her silence on her current affair with KSG, she is one of the hot properties on the single block.

Nargis Fakhri

The Rockstar actress is also looking out for her Prince Charming. Nargis was rumoured to be dating Uday Chopra, but we couldn’t find much substance in the story, as the alleged couple always maintained a stoic silence on it. For now, the 36-year-old beauty is pretty much single.

Neha Dhupia

The former Miss India had been in an on and off relationship with squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya while she has also been spotted with many others. With her absence from the big screen for a long time, we just hope she finds her knight in shining armour soon, as time and again the 35-year-old has hinted that she would love to get into wedlock with the right man. In that case, we wish her all the best!

Amrita Rao

This Vivah girl, who was once considered as an ideal marriage material, is enjoying her single status even at the age of 34. Amrita neither has movies in her kitty nor could we find traces of existent love life. We sincerely hope someone sweeps her off feet and make her fall in love. Eligible bachelors, are you listening?

These actresses are living their life on their own terms and carving a path for single, independent women in the country. However, in the world of glamour, there are a few more names like Suraiyaa, Parveen Babi and Nanda, who had lived and died without tying a knot with anyone. It was unrequited love in Suraiya and Parveen’s life, while Nanda’s fiancé, unfortunately, died in an accident. The reasons are many and but none of them are among us to tell us their side of the story.
