We have a list of 9 Bollywood Actresses who became successful after their marriages failed:
1. Mahi Gill
Mahi Gill came like a storm to Bollywood after her divorce. She had to blame her immature behaviour for her separation from her husband but they both continue to be good friends till date. After the separation, her career seemed to be uplifted by a pedestal. Her most notable roles are in the movies, like Dev D, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster series and we will see Mahi Gill in a lot of movies to come.
2. Chitrangada Singh
She is extremely talented and strikingly beautiful. Her performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi was very remarkable and a lot of men would have lost their heartbeats. She was married to Jyoti Randhawa in 2001. After her marriage, she continued to work in the movie industry but she lost her pace and her performance was not good anymore as it used to be. When the couple parted ways in 2014, Chitrangada thought of a comeback and performed an item song, Aao Raja, which is one of the most viewed videos on YouTube. Her role in Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster is quite amazing as well. The biggest reason for her fame is her great role in the movie Desi Boyz.
3. Mallika Sherawat
Mallika Sherawat had done some advertisements and some commercials as a model, but the real breakthrough in the career was after she got separated from her husband.
