Overview
- Tanya Puri recounts a case involving a Bollywood actor married since the early 2000s who allegedly pursued multiple affairs with much younger actresses.
- She says the actor’s wife, through her manager, commissioned the probe, confronted him after inconsistencies and unexplained travel, and received promises to change for their children’s sake.
- Puri alleges a Bollywood actress maintained a public relationship as a facade while working as an escort, traveling for paid appearances under formal contracts.
- According to Puri, the actress’s non-industry partner confronted her but stayed in the relationship because the income supported their lifestyle and joint business.
- In separate cases, Puri describes a regional star who used PR to inflate apparent wealth, leading a prospective in-law family to cancel an engagement, and a 1990s TV actor who kept a wife and grown child in another city under a different name, prompting his Mumbai partner to leave.
