When a film is made, actors, producers, directors and other crew members work together to complete it. During this, many actors and producers/directors develop a friendly bond or sometimes fall in love with each other. Bollywood has seen many such cases where actresses and their producers’ steamy affair made the headlines. While some affairs reached marriage, some ended with a breakup. Let’s have a look on the famous affairs of Bollywood actresses with their producers:
Sridevi
Late Sridevi was known as the first lady superstar of Bollywood. With her extreme beauty, powerful acting and dancing talent, she won the hearts of many. But her affair with ‘Mr. India’ producer Boney Kapoor had created a lot of controversy then. Boney Kapoor was already married and had two children when he fell for Sridevi. Sridevi was also called as a home-breaker then. Both Kapoor and Sridevi got married in 1996 and became proud parents of daughters, Jahnavi and Khushi.
Rani Mukharjee
Rani Mukherjee fell in love with her producer Aditya Chopra. Mukherjee had worked in many of Aditya Chopra’s YRF production films. This includes Veer Zara, Bunty Aur Babli, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum etc. Since YRF producer Aditya Chopra is a private person, their affair was secret for a long time. It was only in 2014, after their marriage in Italy, that people got to know that something was brewing between the two. The couple are happily married today and have a daughter, Adira.
Divya Bharati
Late Divya Bharati was one of the few actresses who reached stardom at a very young age. Her innocent face is still in the hearts of people. Not many people know that on the peak of her career she married her producer, Sajid Nadiadwala. Divya Bharati had met Sajid on the sets of Shola and Shabnam. The duo developed a great fondness for each other and started dating. However, their relationship and marriage were hidden for a long time because it could have harmed Divya’s growing stardom. The love story of Divya Bharati and Sajid Nadiadwala ended on a painful note after she died of falling from her building in 1993.
After her death, Sajid Nadiadwala continued giving tribute to Divya through his movies until he married Wardha Khan in 2000. Wardha Khan in an interview had once revealed that Sajid still keeps Divya Bharati’s photo in his wallet. Surely, their love story was short but the most beautiful one.
Kalki Koechlin

During this film’s shooting, the duo got close to each other. Both were in a live-in-relationship for two years before their marriage. In 2011, they moved forward with their relationship by tying the knot. Till then Anurag Kashyap had taken divorce from her ex-wife Aarti Bajaj, whom he was married to from 1997 to 2009.
However, soon things got sour between Kashyap and Koechlin after 4 years of marriage. In 2015, Kalki and Anurag filed for divorce. However, despite their divorce, both remain good friends. Recently, Anurag Kashyap had shared a picture with his both ex-wives, declaring them two strongest pillars of his life.
