She had said, "The experiences, heartbreak and downfall in my life has made me a stronger woman. I emerged stronger. At that point in time I didn't realize it. I grudged, sulked and asked why this happened to me. That lamenting had to come to a closure someday because that's not me. I believe in evolution. But now I am very grateful that it happened to me and I went through that bad patch in my life." Rubina is now married to Abhinav Shukla and they are touted as one of the smartest couples of telly town.

Shweta Tiwari also went through a rocky patch after her first marriage with Raja Chaudhry ended. In an interview with ETimes TV, Shweta had earlier said, "When I was going through the toughest and the worst phase of my life, Ekta and Shobha ma'am took care of me. I am thankful to them as they never pressurised me to work. They never forced me to come to shoot on time. I was mentally so disturbed and stressed that I used to reach on the sets of Kasauti Zindagi Kay at 6 pm for a 6 am call time. I kept running away from everyone. Ekta had kept two people Sandeep Singh Siddhu (her lawyer) and Saaketh (a person from their production house) to look after me. I used to do unexpected things like get off my car and start running on the road. These two guys used to run behind me." Cut to today, Shweta Tiwari is on a career high and often attracts attention for her fabulous transformation.

At that time I felt my life was coming to an end). I tried everything and became superstitious. I would meet all sorts of strange people and ask them if someone has done something on him. How could it happen after 8 years? After some time, I realised if you have to go to such lengths for someone's love, then is it really love? It's better to stay alone. I stopped everything and it took me some time. But I understood it was not meant to be." Now, the actress is happily married to Vivek Dahiya, whom she met on the set of her show, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.

It is after two-and-a-half years that I started loving my life, I was eating, sleeping on time, talking to my friends and going to work and coming back. It took me two and a half years. After the breakup, I had gone under a shell, I was not eating, sleeping. I didn't feel like doing anything. I was into depression. I was undergoing counselling and there were lots of things happening. And now, when I have started living my life, I am not ready to compromise or sacrifice for anyone or for anything. It felt like I was out of jail and I am not ready to go inside it again." The Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki actor is now happily married to Delhi-based healthcare professional, Shalabh Dang.

And yes i grew, have grown and will continue to grow from all of it and look at the positive…You have watched me Love so openly... now please watch me LOVE myself till I’m so full that I can share it with someone again some day...My advice one last time; Love comes in many forms, just don’t let it consume so much, that you lose you, let Love be respectful, kind and most importantly honest. I deserve it, you deserve it. The most important thing is understanding this because we accept the love we think we deserve...Forever grateful for the good and the bad, all are lessons learnt. My love story now begins with me," read Anusha's note. The actress has gracefully moved on.

The actress had gone live on Instagram and had said that he did not allow her to work. "He told me, ‘I can’t see you pair up with anyone else’.

He wouldn’t even let me meet people," said Sana. Talking about calling him a 'cheater', Sana Khan revealed, "The day my mother met him for the first time, she warned me saying, ‘Sana, this guy is number 1 cheater. He will cheat on you.

Reportedly, Ankit cheated on her with his Sapne Suhane Ladkapan Ke co-actor, Roopal Tyagi. However, Adaa has come out in the open recently, and shared that she is enjoying being single.

Charu Asopa was engaged to her former co-actor Neeraj Malviya in 2016 and was all set to tie the knot too. However, the relationship didn't work out. Speaking about it, she had told BT, "Shaadi ki planning mein oopar-neeche hota hai. I feel that we could have been a bit patient and worked on our issues. While he was certain that it had ended, I kept hoping for things to work out. I even told everyone that the marriage would happen, but it wasn’t destined. Besides, I feel that he developed cold feet at the last minute and wanted to focus on his career. I was devastated for a year-and-a-half. Split ke baad jo mera haal hua hai woh main hi jaanti hoon. After all, I was all set to get married and had dreams for my big day. It was a struggle to get out of that mess. I travelled a lot to deviate my mind. I also underwent counselling and was on anti-anxiety pills. I had become directionless." Talking about the current state, Charu is a mother to a baby girl and is married to Sushmita Sen's brother, Rajeev Sen.
