From Amir Khan to Pawan Kalyan: Film Personalities with Multiple Marriages

Amir Khan added a new chapter to his personal life on Sunday, marrying Gauri Spratt and becoming the latest Bollywood star to have been married three times. His first marriage to Reena Dutta in 1986 yielded two children before ending in 2002. The second marriage to Kiran Rao in 2005 resulted in a son, Azad Rao Khan, born through surrogacy; the couple announced their split in 2021.

He joins a roster that includes Sanjay Dutt, who has also married three times. Dutt’s first wife, actress Richa Sharma, gave him a daughter in 1988. His second marriage to Riya Pillai began in 1998 and dissolved in the early 2000s, culminating in a 2008 divorce. Later that year, Dutt married Maanvi Dutt, and the couple welcomed twins in 2010.

Legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar’s marital history features four unions: Ruma Guha Thakurta (1950‑58), Madhubala (1960‑69), Yogita Bali (1976‑78) and Leena Chandavarkar (1980‑87). Each marriage produced either children or notable public attention.

In the Telugu industry, actor‑politician Pawan Kalyan has three marriages—first to Nandini (1997‑08), then to Renuka Desai (2009‑12), and most recently to Russian actress Anna Lezhneva (2013‑present). South‑Indian actress Lakshmi and actress Neelima Azeem also share similar three‑marriage trajectories, with children from various unions and multiple divorces.

These stories illustrate a recurring pattern in Indian cinema where personal relationships often undergo several transformations across decades.
