Unfaithful Partners
‘In a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay...’ goes a line in a song by Bruce Springsteen. Very true, when it comes to unfaithful partners, hubbies or wives, who are often the subject of films in Bollywood.
Infidelity has often sparked the imagination of our filmmakers right from the black-and-white era to the present day. A love triangle gets its most exciting twist when any of the spouses, if not both, transgress the bounds of fidelity, and end up having an extramarital affair, often with disastrous results.
In Yash Chopra’s masterpiece Silsila, Amitabh Bachchan left his wife to elope with his lover. In Murder, Mallika Sherawat couldn’t resist the temptation of jumping into bed with another man. Bipasha Basu sidelined her over-aged hubby and fell for a young John Abraham in Jism. The latest Bollywood flick Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta seems nothing short of an ode to spouse swapping.
Come, take a trip through the torrid adulterous affairs we’ve seen in Bollywood films.
