New Delhi: Bollywood celebrities getting entangled in a legal issue or other controversies is not a new thing. Sometimes situation works in their favour, sometimes it doesn't.
But when it comes to support and care these celebrities have been lucky to get immense support from the industry. Recently when Shweta Basu Prasad was arrested for being involved in prostitution, many people from industry came forward to support her.
Director Hansal Mehta even said that he would cast the young starlet in his next film. Other film personalities like Vishal Bharadwaj, Karan Johar, Imtiaz Ali, Abhishek Kapoor, Rensil D'Silva, Amole Gupte, Abbas Tyrewala, Shreyas Talpade and others too came forward to lend their support to the actress.
It is not the first time that any celebrity is involved in such controversy. In the past too many high profile celebrities have been involved in some legal issues yet they came out that squabble and started their career all over again.
Subhash Kapoor- The director was arrested after he was allegedly accused of molestation by an actress Geeta Tyagi.
In February, the controversy emerged when Geetika Tyagi posted a video online suggesting the Jolly LLB director sexually abused her during a confrontation in presence of his wife, Dimple Kharbanda, and director Atul Sabharwal.
The incident created a furor. Subhash was arrested but was later released on bail. The director has resumed his work and is currently shooting for his film Guddu Rangeela.
Shiney Ahuja-The actor started his career with the critically-acclaimed Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2005 and later gave superhits like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Life in a Metro among others was trapped in the case of rape.
In June 2009, the actor's domestic help lodged a police complaint against him alleging rape at his residence. Shiney was arrested and subsequently sentenced to seven years imprisonment. He is currently out on bail.
The actor who faced tough time due to rape allegations and court trials is now making a steady comeback on the silver screen with Anees Bazmee's comedy-drama Welcome Back.
We wish the actor all the best for his new start!
Monica Bedi- She always gained limelight for her involvement with underworld. She was seen in various Bollywood films but wasn't able to mark her presence.
The former girlfriend of the underworld don Abu Salem was behind bars in connection with a case of passport forgery.
After coming out of jail, she featured in quite a few reality television shows like Bigg Boss, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Desi Girl. Monica even dazzled on small screen with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's TV show Saraswatichandra.
As per reports, she was offered the second season of Swayamvar, but declined it.
Ajay Jadeja- It was assumed that Ajay Jadeja's career was almost damaged after CBI inquiry got him guilty of match-fixing following, which he was banned by the BCCI for five years.
But Ajay built his new path. The cricketer turned actor and was seen in movie Khel (2003) alongside Sunny Deol and Suniel Shetty and was a lead actor in Pal Pal Dil Ke Saat (2009).
He also featured in reality shows like Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and Comedy circus. Ajay was last seen in Abhishek Kapoor's cricket based movie Kai Po Che.
Sreesath- Always fierce on field, Sreesanth was allegedly found guilty in spot-fixing episode at the Indian Premier League in 2013. BCCI banned him from international cricket.
This handsome cricketer emerged as a proven dancer in the dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
As per reports, Sreesanth will debut in a Bollywood movie soon, which is a remake of a Malayalam film. The cricketer is all set to star in a Telugu film too.
He is also a part of a musical band called 9's and also writes lyrics.
We hope that the young actress Shweta Basu who is involved in sex trade will also overcome this miserable time and will prove her acting skills in movies very soon. We are sure people will accept her all over again.
