Controversies of the Decade

Here's a select list of the major controversies that rocked B-town, this decade

Aamir-Jessica: Papa kehte hai…

British journalist Jessica Hines shocked everyone with claims that her son Jaan Harry Hines, born in 2003, was fathered by none other than Aamir Khan. Aamir denied the whole thing, and the whole thing remains unresolved. Hasn't anyone heard of a thing called Paternity Test?

Jo Bole So Nihal: Deol se Takkar!

This film starring Sunny Deol was released in 2005. Certain sections of the Sikh community objected to the name and certain scenes in the movie and attacked theatres that were screening it. The attacks were very serious and one person died in them - the film was subsequently pulled out of cinema halls.

Rakhi Sawant – Mika: Kissa Kiss Ka!

In 2006, Rakhi Sawant attended a party where she was treated rather too warmly by pop singer Mika. He grabbed her and kissed her square on the mouth - a gesture that was not appreciated by Rakhi. She filed a police complaint against him. Mika protested that her flirtatious behaviour had prompted the kiss. Like most showbiz-related controversies, this one died down soon as well.

Riya Sen – Ashmit Patel: Voyeur Balma?

Riya Sen's never had what you might call a squeaky clean image. But in spite of her image as a bold, sexually mature actress, the controversy involving then beau Ashmit Sen and a camera phone caused a mini-riot in the media. A video of the pair getting intimate was circulated and Riya went so far as to deny that the woman in the clip wasn't her.

Kareena-Shahid: Jab We Smooched!

Big surprise! Kareena and Shahid kiss! The couple had been very vocal about their relationship status. The MMS video of the two of them kissing became a rather unnecessary controversy in the year 2006.

Richard Gere-Shilpa Shetty: Angrezi Babu, Desi Mem!

At a press conference for HIV-AIDS awareness, Hollywood star Richard Gere gave Shilpa Shetty a kiss on her cheek. All hell broke loose after that - effigies were burnt, protests were carried out and a court in Rajasthan even issued a warrant for their arrests. Fortunately, nobody was arrested and the case lies suspended for the time being.

Aamir vs Shahrukh: Khan-ons roar!

This war has been going on quietly for as long as one can remember. From time to time, one or the other says something that reminds us of it. Like the time Aamir named his dog Shahrukh. Or when Shahrukh was asked by a journalist what he would do if he woke up one day as Aamir. His reply: "I would tell the world that Shahrukh is the better actor." Keeping it going, fellas!

Priyaka-Gowariker: A snub in time…!

2009 was a great year for Priyanka, with her winning all the Indian acting awards for her performance in 'Fashion'. At the IIFA awards too she got the plaque, following which director Ashutosh Gowariker went up to get his award for 'Jodhaa Akbar'. That's when he snubbed the actress: "Priyanka I love you, but I don't know how you got the award for Best Actress when Aishwarya was also nominated in the same category for Jodhaa Akbar." Ouch

Shiney Ahuja: Sins-erly Yours

In June 2009, audiences were shocked when reports surfaced that up and coming actor Shiney Ahuja had been accused of rape by his maid servant. First, he claimed it was consensual, then he apparently confessed to raping the maid. Shiney was thrown behind bars for three months and is currently out on bail. If convicted, he'll face a minimum jail sentence of three years.

Sallu vs Shahrukh: Karan-Arjun

Shahrukh and Salman meet at Katrina Kaif's birthday party. Alcohol flows and so do the jokes. Suddenly things take on a serious turn and our two heroes start getting angry. Sleeves get rolled up and punches are about to be thrown - fortunately Gauri (or was it Aamir) Khan intervenes. Cold war follows.

SRK @ Newark: Whose name is Khan?

Shahrukh had gone to attend an Independence Day function in the US when he was held for two hours at the Newark airport. The controversy arising from this, however, lingered on. Phone statements were made, press conferences were held and many-a-speculation took place. As with everything else in Bollywood, it soon died a natural death.

Wake up, Sid: Yi hai Mumbai

In October 2009, Karan Johar releases a film called 'Wake Up Sid'. In one scene, its stars Ranbir and Konkona are seen chatting about the city they live in. Politically incorrect dingbats that they are, they refer to it as Bombay and not Mumbai. Raj Thackeray gets angry, Karan Johar gets apologetic and the rest of the country gets indignant. Fortunately, the film plays peacefully and is declared a hit.

'Kurbaan' posters: 'Saree'yat!

Poor Karan Johar can't catch a break. The poster for his latest film, 'Kurbaan', showed Kareena's bare back. The Shiv Sena did not approve (what effect will it have on little kids?) of it, and covers the poster up with a saree. Next, they plan to visit Kareena's home and present her with a sari! All that controversy seemed to be a waste, as the film sank and no amount of back strokes could save it.

King Khan – Big B: David vs Godzilla

For some time now, there's been ongoing tension between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. Stories range from Amitabh being upset by the lack of screen time given to Abhishek (as compared to SRK), to the rivalry between the two hosts of Kaun Banega Crorepati? Recently AB blogged about SRK's delayed response to his text message. However, Mr. Khan seems to have redeemed himself by attending the premiere of Amitabh's latest film, 'Paa'.
