MUMBAI: Nowadays, marriages, especially in Bollywood, don't seem to endure for long. The phrase "till death do us part" has become a distant memory for some couples whose relationships couldn't withstand the test of time.
Although this isn't the case for many happily married couples, there have been instances of short-lived marriages in the film industry due to various reasons like extramarital affairs, career priorities, and even unfortunate deaths.
