Before they made it big in Bollywood, some Bollywood actresses had been a part of ad commercials. However, some sultry commercials that these Bollywood beauties were a part of, were banned. Let's take a look at the hot commercials, featuring Bollywood actresses, that were banned...

Bipasha's sensuous debut

Known for her sensuous curves and dusky charm, Bipasha Basu has always been a stunner. Even before she took Bollywood by storm with her no-inhibitions attitude, the actress had shed it all for an ad commercial. In an endorsement for New York Lotto, Bipasha Basu had shed all her clothes. She had featured in the advertisement with Vivek Oberoi. While the ad was meant for the international audience, it was reportedly banned in India due to its bold content.

Milind-Madhu shed inhibitions

Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre faced a lot of flak for their nude act in the print advertisement for Tuff shoes. Both Milind and Madhu posed stark naked for the shoot, except for a pair of shoes, each. A python was draped around their bodies. It was reportedly considered to be one of the most outrageous advertisements in the '90s.

The 'Toing' girl

Sana Khan was immediately famous for her act as Amul Macho's 'toing' girl. The ad featured Sana as a wife who fantasises about her husband while washing his Amul Macho undergarment. The advertisement aired on national television, during regular shows. However, it was reportedly considered so offensive that it had to be banned.

Real to reel chemistry

With the tagline, 'Real pleasure can't come in an instant' the ad was expected to be sensuous. The commercial for the coffee brand, Mr Coffee, made headlines for real-life couple, Arbaaz and Malaika's steamy chemistry. The ad had an undercurrent of sexual fantasy and was not well received in India. As a result, it had to be pulled down.

Selling safety with sensuality

Pooja Bedi and Marc Robinson shed all their inhibitions for a condom advertisement. The ad featured her bathing in what seemed to be a minute-long sequence. Pooja shot to fame with the controversial ad. However, the commercial was found objectionable by various sections of the society and was finally banned from being aired on the small screen.

1/6Sonam to Jacqueline: Best dressed celebs at Filmfare Glamour And Style Awards

1

The Filmfare Glamour And Style Award 2015 took place on November 30 and calling it a starry affair would be an understatement. With gorgeous divas stepping out on the red carpet in their stylish best, it was definitely a feast no fashion-lover could afford to miss. Topping the list, our ‘stylish best’ were B-Town beauties, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Alia Bhatt, Neha Dhupia and Athiya Shetty. Here’s taking a look at what they did right with their looks...

Sonam Kapoor

There is little that Sonam Kapoor cannot pull off. She isn’t the crowned queen of fashion for no reason and the actress was at it yet again – wooing the crowd with her supremely stylish look that is. Ms Kapoor made a spectacular statement in her ruffled Michael Cinco dress. The corseted, off-shoulder dress had a high-low hem that made its long train stand out. Sonam went in for a matching red lip, up-tied hair and nude pumps to round off her look. She kept the accessories to a minimal, wearing only a pair of Yoube earrings and decided to leave her neck bare and let the bold neckline do the talking. A smart move!

Jacqueline Fernandez

Trust Jacqueline Fernandez to take every look a notch higher. The actress walked the red carpet in a nude sheer gown by Shady Zeineldine. The heavily embellished sheer looked absolutely grand and the off-shoulder, micro mini lining added the right amount of sexy to Jackie’s appearance. Though we would have preferred a nice, bold lip with the nude gown, the actress balanced her nude lip pretty well with her smoky eyes. She finished out her look with a half pony which seems to have become her patented hair do.

Alia Bhatt

The thing that works most in favour of Alia Bhatt is her beautiful face and also the fact that she seldom goes the risky way when it comes to fashion. The actress sported a stunning black and white Georges Chakra Couture gown for the awards event. Like has become a trend now, we loved her heart braid and the Lagerfeld Bijoux De Famille earrings simply look fab. The actress teamed up her dress with plain black pumps and a mild pink lip.

Neha Dhupia

Agree or not, but Neha Dhupia has got peculiar taste when it comes to fashion. Though the actress does not really have a clean track record with the fashion pundits, when she does, she does it like a pro. The actress opted for a John Paul Ataker gown which she teamed up with bold, smoky eyes and a nude lip. We are not particularly impressed with her severe bun, but since the overall effect was so amazing, we aren’t complaining.

Athiya Shetty

Though she hasn’t been around the block for long, from the many promotional appearances made by Athiya Shetty, we got the idea that the girl is not going to give us many opportunities to complain. Maintaining that impression, Athiya went in for a sleek black Amanda Wakeley dress that perfectly accentuated her lean figure. The thigh-high sheer gave the whole look a nice, bold effect. Athiya added a bright dash of colour with a red lip and rounded off her look with centre parted open hair. She went in for a minimalistic approach with jewellery which worked pretty well for the actress.

Bollywood's ugliest celebrity breakups

TNN | September 22, 2016

1/15Alia confirms her break-up with Sid to Varun Dhawan?

7

Much recently, we told you how Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra parted ways and aren't a couple any more. While some believed it to be rumours, others vouched for the fact that both Sid and Alia wanted to concentrate on their respective careers and hence, have taken a break. However, as per the latest report on a web portal, Alia has confirmed that she and Sid aren't a couple anymore and it was none other than her 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' co-star Varun Dhawan who she confided in. As per the reports, Varun would always tease Alia on the sets by Sid's name, and Alia would either smile or laugh it off, but this time, when Varun teased her again, she got miffed, much to Varun's dismay. A visibly upset Alia asked Varun not to tease her by Sid's name as they were not together anymore. Varun was quite shocked and upset to know about this development in Alia's love life and being a good friend and gentleman he is, he didn't tease Alia again by Sid's name.

2/15Is it end of the road for Alia-Sidharth's love affair?

5

There is no doubt that Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra, who started their journey as actors together with 'Student of The Year', have continued to remain one of the most loved couples of Bollywood, but their fans might not be happy to know that their cute love story has come to an end. As per reports, Alia and Sidharth has called it quits, albeit temporarily, as both the actors want to seriously focus on their respective careers and don't want their professional lives to suffer in the bargain. Reportedly, Sid and Alia had started maintaining distance during the Dream Team tour which they were part of and would only engage in formal talks. Sid, after going through a box office dud in 'Baar Baar Dekho', now wants to invest all his energies in taking right career decisions and doesn't want his personal life and his affair with Alia to keep him in the news and headlines. Alia too has two important films to divert her energies to – 'Dear Zindagi' and 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' – and has decided to dedicate herself completely to her work for now. Although the two ex-lovebirds remain cordial, reports suggest they are not a couple anymore.

3/15Sushant Singh Rajput confirms his breakup with Ankita Lokhande

0

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande's breakup rumours came as a shock, especially since the duo had publicly announced that they were going to tie the knot soon. While several reports touted SSR's closeness to his co-star Kriti Sanon as the reason for the breakup, others claimed that it was Ankita's clingy ways that caused the split. While the duo didn't officially confirm the split, fans of the couple were hoping for a reconciliation between the former love birds. However, in a bid to end speculations, Sushant took to his official Twitter account to confirm the breakup. He tweeted, "Neither she was an alcoholic nor I am a womaniser . People do Grow apart & its unfortunate . Period!!" And with that statement, another B-Town relationship officially comes to an end.

4/15Sushant Singh Rajput - Aankita Lokhaande to patch-up?

7

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Aankita Lokhaande's break-up was a real let-down for their fans, especially since the couple had publicly announced that they would be tying the knot by the year end. However, looks like all's not over the between the duo. Reportedly, Aankita-Sushant have decided to give their relationship another chance. Apparently, SSR has been trying to take some time off his busy schedule and is trying to mend things with Aankita. Well, we hope that the rumours are true and that the couple do reconcile.

5/15Sushant Singh Rajput throws housewarming party, Aankita Lokhaande not invited

4

Post his break-up with Aankita Lokhaande, Sushant Singh Rajput moved out of their love nest in Malad and stayed put in a suburban hotel. He left Budapest thereafter to shoot for 'Raabta.' But now the actor is back in town and has found himself a new pad on the 12th floor of Little Heights Apartments on Hill Road, Bandra. SSR threw a housewarming party last night. The guest list comprised of Karan Johar, Krishika Lulla, Homi and Anaita Adajania, Varun Sharma, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena, and his rumoured girlfriend Kriti Sanon. The party reportedly went on till wee hours of the morning.

6/15Shilpa Shetty slams media for false divorce rumours

7

Rumours are part and parcel of actors' lives, but certain rumours can really hurt and that's what seems to have happened with Shilpa Shetty, who is fuming after rumours of her divorce with hubby Raj Kundra started doing the rounds. Raj was said to have shifted base to his office and hadn't gone back home for days at a stretch and that's what had triggered the rumours of supposed rift between the couple. However, Shilpa is not at all happy for being in the news for something that she claims is totally "false and rubbish". In fact, the actress even slammed the media and asked them to stop spreading rumours before cross-checking with people involved. She even went on to say that media needs to stop spreading "below-the-belt rumours which really hurt". Shilpa says that media needs to draw the line somewhere. The actress further stated that she believes in the instituion of marriage and loves her husband. In fact, the reports about their divorce only left her family and relatives worried and troubled. Whatever it is, we are happy that this much-in-love couple is happy together and hope the rumours of their separation only turn out to be what they are... mere rumours!

7/15Has John Abraham-Priya Runchal marriage hit rock bottom?

10

This year hasn't been kind to married actors and actresses and one more name that makes it to the list of celebrities with troubled marriages is John Abraham, whose marriage to Priya Runchal seems to be going through rough waters. Yes, you read that right! Shocking, isn't it? Considering John and Priya have only been married for two years, it comes nothing less than a shock to learn that this lovely couple is drifting apart. And as per a source close to the couple, their long-distance relationship is touted to be the major reason behind their marriage hitting the rock bottom. Post their marriage, Priya, who is an investment banker, moved to US to continue with her job, while John got busy with his career as an actor-producer apart from various other social commitments. In fact, one hardly got to see John and Priya together post their hush-hush wedding. The couple never made any public appearance or attended any event or party or a film premiere together. Priya is also said to be upset and uncomfortable with John's closeness to his female co-stars and that too seems to be adding fuel to the fire. We hope the two sort out their differences whatsoever because one more marriage falling apart is not something we would like to learn!

8/15Here's how Ankita Lokhande is coping up with her break-up

3

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande parted ways and ended their six-year-long relationship. This has certainly left both, the 'Kai Po Che' actor and Ankita a bit depressed. However, what we have heard is that Ankita is partying hard to get out of this bad phase. According to reports, she is partying with her close friends at her home every other day. The get-togethers, we hear, are extremely private affairs and very few pics even make it to social media. Quoting a source, the reports stated further that Ankita has been throwing these parties often. However, Ankita makes sure she doesn't disturb her neighbours and refrains from playing loud music post mid-night.

9/15Sikander Kher and Sonam Kapoor's sister part ways

12

The lovely Priya Singh--gentle, artistic and a great animal lover--lost her fiancé Ashish Mahbubani to a heart attack last year, a clutch of months before the two were to wed. Quickly the daughter of Jasjit and Kavita Singh, and niece of Sunita and Anil Kapoor, found solace in Anil's best friend Anupam Kher's son, Sikander. The two were engaged by January and were to marry this year itself. Now, according to a report on Mumbai Mirror, the couple is no more together, they've called it quits three weeks ago. Rumours abound of several arguments and differing lifestyles. Some say the two were very different right from the start while others say hers was a case of a misplaced affection and a rebound. Still, a breakup still hurts by any another name.

10/15Sushant Singh Rajput puts out a cryptic tweet for Ankita Lokhande?

6

It's been a while since Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande parted ways, but the speculations surrounding their controversial breakup just refuses to die down. There were reports of Ankita sending constant feelers to Sushant through common friends. Sushant on the other hand has time and again taken to Twitter to drop hints about his troubled love life. In yet another cryptic tweet, the 'Kai Po Che' actor wrote, "Sugarman Won't u hurry Coz I'm tired of these scenes For a blue coin Won't u bring back All those colours 2my dream." Although he hasn't mentioned Ankita, it’s anyone's guess who he's referring to.

11/15Ankita Lokhande verbally abused Sushant Singh Rajput?

10

With several B-Town couples heading for splitsville this year, Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande were the latest to part ways. The duo ended their 6-year-old courtship, and though the reason behind the split is unclear, SSR took to Twitter to clarify, he said, "Neither she was an alcoholic nor I am a womaniser. People do Grow apart & its unfortunate. Period!!" However, according to a report on Spotboye.com, a source close to the actors claims the opposite. The report quotes the source as saying, “Ankita does have a drinking problem and Sushant had been getting a bit too close for comfort with females, some of who are even celebrities.” The source further opened up about a party at a filmmaker's house, where all hell broke loose and Sushant and Ankita ended up having a major showdown. The source was quoted as saying, "It was one helluva fight, very ugly, very crass. The two just didn’t stop, especially Ankita whose temper had hit the ceiling.” The duo was allegedly drunk at the party, and Ankita walked in on Sushant trying to get too friendly with a “very famous female celeb,” and this led to Ankita abusing the 'Kai Po Che' actor using some of the choicest Hindi expletives. And the relationship went downhill from there, concluded the source in the report.

While this sure makes it to our list of messy celebrity breakups, move on to the next slide to read about other such celebrity breakups...

12/15Ankita Lokhande puts out yet another cryptic tweet for Sushant Singh Rajput

17

It wouldn't be wrong to say that 2016 has been a very unfortunate year for love so far. While speculations and rumours have gripped every B-Town break-up, the one that has really baffled us is that of Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande's. Not just because they seemed like one of the most in-love couples but also because the two have been giving very contrasting statements. Right after reports of their alleged break-up came our way, Sushant was quoted by a daily saying that "it's a sad feeling." So we figured the rumours must be true. And his tweet about 'being alone' simply reinstated the break-up. Ankita, however, has a different story to tell. Not only did the actress respond to the tweet with the sweetest possible reply, the actress also rubbished all break-up rumours in an interview with Mumbai Mirror terming them baseless. And now she's gone ahead and posted yet another cryptic tweet, a line from a popular Akshay Kumar song. Ankita tweeted, "Hamari chahato ka mitt naa sakega fassana." With such contradicting statements and the fact that a friend has hinted that the break-up rumours could be a PR gimmick for Sushant's upcoming MS Dhoni biopic, we do not know what to believe.

While we are still awaiting the outcome of these rumours, move on to read about other alleged B-Town break-ups... by Kiran Kaur

13/15Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha had an ugly spat in building's lobby?

11

What is it with Bollywood couple and 2016? News of break-ups, divorces, splits are doing the rounds ever so often. After Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif, Malaika Arora-Arbaaz Khan, Sushant-Singh Rajput-Ankita Lokhande’s separations, we now hear that yet another couple from B-Town has joined the bandwagon… RajKummar Rao and Patralekha. According to a report on Spotboye.com, Rajkummar Rao is not happy with Patralekha's bold portrayal in her upcoming film 'Love Games' and that has lead to rumours of their separation. Quoting a source the report suggests that Rao was okay with the trailer of the film but with the passage of time, he became very uncomfortable about his girlfriend's sexy avatar. The report also suggested that they both had an ugly spat recently in the lobby of their Oshiwara residence. However, the report quoted Rajkumar Rao saying that he is proud of her and loves her and they are not separating. We wish that is the truth!

14/15Sushant Singh Rajput – Ankita Lokhande’s break-up a publicity gimmick?

2

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande’s love life seems to be gripped with confusion with a new report coming our way ever passing day. First the break-up rumours themselves, then Sushant allegedly confirming the news and then Ankita rubbishing the rumours. And now in a new development, a close friend of the couple has suggested that it could all be a publicity gimmick. In a report on Mid-Day.com, a source is quoted saying that Sushant is indecisive about the relationship since he wants people to talk about his work more than his love life. And the actor hasn’t really communicated to Ankita as to what he wants – a single status or a committed one. The source has further said that it “could also be a PR exercise” to create buzz around Sushant’s upcoming film, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.’ Publicity or not, Sushant is yet to clarify his stand, stated the source in the same report.

Move on to find out what Ankita has to say about the whole issue…

15/15Confirmed! Arbaaz Khan – Malaika Arora Khan are separated

2

After a long silence on their part, Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora Khan have finally spoken up about their separation alleging that their silence has been misinterpreted as weakness. In a joint statement given to DNA, the couple said that they have separated and are on a break as of now. The duo has also rubbished all rumours surrounding Malaika’s alleged affair to a businessman and her adjustment issues in the Khan family, stating that these rumours are only a means of defamation. The report further quoted them saying that the next course of action will be decided keeping in mind the best interest of the couple themselves, their child and their families. The duo has urged people to give them their space in these trying times.
