Yahoo Movies 8 celebrity breakups that left us shocked
'And they lived happily ever after.' While movies have romanticized the idea of being together forever, in reality, for some a happily ever after is to be seperated and be apart.
Taking a glance back at the actors who joined this year's ex-couples bandwagon - here's a rundown of celebrity couples that didn't last.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Aaliya Siddiqui
Nawazuddin Siddiqui had a short-lived marriage with Sheeba before marrying Aaliya Siddiqui, and the actor reconciled with his ex-girlfriend Anjali shortly after their divorce. Nawazuddin and Anjali started dating in 2004 and married in 2005. After the wedding, Anjali changed her name to Aaliya.
On the other hand, their union was on the rocks, with Aaliya filing for divorce in 2020. Aaliyah's counsel served Nawazuddin with a notice on her behalf in May 2020, along with a slew of legal charges against him and his brother.
In an interview with the Bombay Times, Aaliya revealed the reason behind her divorce from Nawazuddin. And how she has been dealing with it for so long!

Sana Khan's friendship with her choreographer boyfriend Melvin Louis ended in February after she soared to prominence after starring in Salman Khan's 'Bigg Boss 6'. She accused him of cheating and said that their relationship had deteriorated after they started arguing over trivial problems.
