Bollywood has seen its fair share of high-profile breakups over the years. From lavish weddings to eye-watering divorce settlements, these celebrity splits capture the public’s attention as much as their love stories. Let’s dive into some of Bollywood’s costliest divorces, including one that set a record-breaking Rs 380 crore alimony payment.
Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan were once one of Bollywood’s most beloved couples. Married in 2000, they decided to part ways in 2014 after 14 years and two sons. Reports from The Times of India indicate that Sussanne initially sought Rs 400 crore in alimony. The final settlement was reportedly around Rs 380 crore, making this the most expensive divorce in Bollywood to date.
Aamir Khan’s love story with Reena Dutta dates back to the early 1980s. The couple secretly eloped in 1986, eventually having two children together. After 16 years, they separated in 2002, with Aamir reportedly paying Rs 50 crore in alimony, according to reports from DNA and News18.
Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan ended their 19-year marriage in 2017. According to DNA, Malaika received an estimated Rs 10-15 crore as part of the divorce settlement, showcasing the high financial stakes even in less prominent Bollywood divorces.
In another notable case, Saif Ali Khan’s marriage to Amrita Singh ended in 2004 after 13 years. Saif has openly discussed the financial strain of the divorce, mentioning that he was responsible for a Rs 5 crore payment, alongside monthly support of Rs 1 lakh until his son turned 18.
After 17 years of marriage, Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Bhabani split in 2017. Their settlement reportedly included a one-time alimony payment, as well as Adhuna’s acquisition of their luxurious 10,000-square-foot Bandstand bungalow, Vipassana, according to Firstpost.
These costly divorces are a reminder of the staggering financial impact of breakups in Bollywood, where the price of love—and separation—comes at a hefty price.
