8 Famous Bollywood Celebrities Who Broke The Rules And Went Against The Society

Like some of our Bollywood celebrities, who too have defied certain social norms. Some of their actions may raise a few eyebrows, but many have been appreciated as well for their actions.

Here is a sneak peak of few such Bollywood stars who challenged the society and followed their heart.

1. Kids through IVF surrogacy

Kudos to tinsel town stars who have taken the route of IVF for bringing little bundles of joy into their lives. It was Farah Khan, who came forward openly to accept that she took help of medical technology to fulfil her desire of becoming a mother.

2. Single mom adopting children

In a society where blood relations and getting married at right age have always been given importance, it takes just one woman to break such traditions and that woman is Sushmita Sen. She is a 'happily single' mom, who has adopted two beautiful daughters, Renee and Alisah.

3. Opting for live-in relationship

After Kamal Hassan and Sarika, live-in relationships, sort of normalised and several celebs from Bollywood as well as TV industry chose the same. Some of the most famous ones include Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif, Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao and Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

4. Pregnant before marriage

Just before getting married to Boney Kapoor, Sridevi acknowledged that she was pregnant with her first child. Tongues were already wagging due to their relationship, as he was still a married man. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor got married in 1996. And, soon after that it was "officially" reported that she was expecting her first child.

5. Marrying with a huge age gap

When we think of huge gaps, Bollywood has seen many celebrity couples in the past who had a massive age gap like Dharmendra-Hema Malini, but the most recent one that grabbed a lot of headlines is Shahid Kapoor. He married Mira Rajput, who is 13 years younger. Despite such a big age difference, Shahid and Mira today make a very happy and beautiful couple. With baby Misha entering their lives, the age difference doesn’t look like a problem anymore.

6. Getting married in 40s and even at 60!

As we said before, our Indian society is such that it always expects a woman to be married at a certain age; anything beyond 30 is an alarming situation. But thanks to a handful of our Bollywood divas who married in their 40s, this norm has been broken for good. Preity Zinta married Gene Goodenough when she was 41, Urmila Matondkar married Mir Mohsin Akhtar, a model by profession, when she was 42 and lastly, the sweetest surprise was that of veteran actress Suhasini Mulay who tied the knot when she was 60.

7. Celebs who married more famous and successful actresses

While there was a time when everyone believed that it’s man’s world out there, a few celebs chose to crush this belief and marry women who were way more famous than them. The most common name that pops in our heads is of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. Recently, more Bollywood and TV celebs like Karan Singh Grover, Sahil Singha and Vivek Dahiya have gracefully moved to this list and broken the chain.

8. Having a child out of wedlock

Adopting babies when you are single is a different but having a baby without marriage is still somewhat a taboo. One actor from Bollywood who not just proudly welcomed his daughter out of wedlock, but also shared this happy news with the world is Rock On! actor Purab Kohli.
