Two more scandals guys!

One: Om Puri. Very ‘unlikely’ victim this time. His wife, acclaimed journalist-columnist, Nandita Puri has exposed some of his most private sexual encounters in her biographical book ‘Unlikely Hero: The story of Om Puri’. Obviously, the veteran actor is furious, and has said, “I don’t care if she is my wife”.

Two: The old rape charge has come back to haunt Madhur Bhandarkar again. The case was initially considered false by the investigating officer, but the court upheld on to the FIR saying that there is some truth in model Priti Jain's complaint.

But, these are are not isolated cases. Celebrities – actors, directors, producers, designers, sportspersons, business honchos – pretty often get entangled into controversies and scandals.

Cases against Shiney Ahuja, Anand Jon, Fardeen Khan, DJ Akeel, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Tiger Pataudi are still fresh in our memory. For Michael Jackson, Parveen Babi and many others, controversies have not left them alone even in their death. The list can be convincingly long.

Sexual scandals, legal trouble, drug abuse, drunk driving and death under mysterious circumstances – celebs get caught in the web of some or other controversy every other day.
