Bollywood's Ex-Lovers Turned Friends

Flames to dust, lovers to friends. Why do all good things come to an end?" sang Nelly Furtado.
These lines hold true for a lot of Bollywood folks since their transition from passionate lovers to 'just good friends' happens in the shortest possible time post break-up. Here are some such Bollywood stars who went on to become friends after their break-up.

Deepika Padukone- Ranbir Kapoor

 

Deepika and Ranbir didn't exactly have quite an amicable break-up. It was Ranbir's alleged infidelity that prompted the leggy lass to dump him. A few digs later, Deepika apparently got over her heartbreak and is, today, in a comfortable space with the Kapoor heir. The two have signed an Ayan Mukherji film and, resultantly, Deepika even attended Ranbir's birthday party, as a 'friend', of course.

 

Salman Khan- Katrina Kaif

 

A perfect love-story suddenly went kaput when Salman and Katrina Kaif called it quits on their relationship. The hushed reason was said to be young gun Ranbir Kapoor. Irrespective of the break-up, neither did Sallu stop taking care of his ex-mistress nor did Katrina stop respecting him as an actor, person and friend. The two are also shooting for an upcoming film, titled 'Ek Tha Tiger'.

Shahid Kapoor- Priyanka Chopra

Sasha and Piggy Chops never admitted the fact that they dated each other, forget breaking up! However it can hardly be denied that two have been in an 'on- again/ off-again' relationship mode. Despite talks of their link-up and break-up, the two remain fast friends and are seen hanging out together quite often.
 

Preity Zinta- Ness Wadia

Preity and Ness were like a match made in heaven when they were together. They were apparently the happiest couple in B-town but they too fell prey to the downside of relationships. Preity and Ness decided to go their own separate ways but made sure that they didn't lose the great friendship that they once shared.

Bipasha Basu- Dino Morea

 

Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea were the it-couple during their modelling days. After acting in several forgettable movies, the couple decided to split. Bipasha soon moved on to John Abraham (now her ex) and Dino, well, to a number of gorgeous ladies. After they broke up, the two never showed any bitterness towards each other and were always warm and affable whenever they met.

Akshay Kumar- Shilpa Shetty

Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty had a very very nasty break-up owing to which Shilpa was left nursing her heartbreak. It took years for Shilpa to completely recover from the break-up and Akki's infidelity which was why she totally ignored anything to do with him. It was only after she found peace within herself, post her 'Big Brother' win and marriage to Raj Kundra, that Shilpa got over the demons of her past. Today, she doesn't seem to be affected by Akshay's presence anymore and, reportedly, holds him in good regard.

Wedding bells for Bipasha Basu soon

 

If the rumours are to be believed bong bombshell Bipasha Basu has finally decided to settle down. Yes, the dusky beauty is thinking of marriage and settling down. Buzz has it that the Bips and her 'Dum Maro Dum' co-star Rana Dagubatti are thinking of tying the nuptial knot very soon. They met on the set of 'Dum Maro Dum' and ever since the duo are together. In various occasions, the couple was spotted together.

Meanwhile Bipasha has rubbished reports about her wedding with Rana. 'Reading reports of my supposed wedding plans, there is absolutely no truth in them,' Bipasha, who parted ways with actor John Abraham, wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Gossips about Bipasha - Rana affair has been lingering in the air for quite long. Rana then laughed off the allegations saying he is not dating his co-star who is actually six years older to him.  Rana's name has also been linked with Shriya Saran before.

Bollywood, business and the bikini babe

Kangna Ranaut sets the mercury soaring in the upcoming flick 'Rascals'. She joins the long list of Bollywood hotties who have stepped into bikinis. And if the first two trailers are anything to go by, the hottie carries it off with elan.

 

Bebo set the trend with size zero in Tashan - and this is not the only flick in which she has flaunted her toned body.

Anushka Sharma shed the girl next door avatar and went glam in Badmash Company

 

Blue - The action-adventure gave Lara Dutta enough opportunity to wear bikini in the film. Considering the fact that BLUE was mostly set underwater, Lara was hardly seen in casuals or any other form of outfits

 

'Dhoom 2' - Apart from the fact that it being a sequel to smashing hit DHOOM and Hrithik-Aishwarya's fresh pair, the film gained maximum eyeballs as Bipasha Basu sported a hot bikini not to mention the hot and skimpy costumes for Ash too

 

'Shortkut...The con is on' - After doing enough of demure, girl-next door, shy roles finally Amrita Rao joined the bikini brigade with this film. Till date SHORTKUT is more than remembered for Amrita's sexy avatar

'Dil Bole Hadipa' - Following the syndrome of 'If my contemporaries can do it, so can I', Bollywood actress Rani Mukherji also shed few kilos and sport a bikini for the first time in her career to promote her film. So, other than boosting the star's value and sex appeal, the bikini does nothing to the movie? It seems so.
