Controversy and the Bengali film industry share a perpetual bond. Every year media witnesses controversies relating to mega Tollywood stars. Let us look at few such controversies.
Swastika Mukherjee is presently leading the list, as she is often involved in squabbles with the directors and the producers. Apart from that, she got married to Pramit Sen at the tender age of 18, which turned unsuccessful. She dated Jeet before turning her attention towards Parambrata. In the year 2014, she attempted suicide after she was found in a hotel room with director Sumon Mukhopadhyay. She was also caught shoplifting in Singapore in the same year. CCTV cameras caught her stealing gold earrings worth Rs. 12, 139.
Paoli Dam comes second as she is best known for being bold and beautiful. Her nude scene with Anubrata in ‘Chatrak’ shook the Tollywood industry at that point in time. She stirred more controversy after doing movies like ‘Hate Story’ and ‘Yaara Sili Sili’. Finally, she married Arjun Deb who is a restaurateur from Guwahati.
Rii aka Rituparna has taken up challenging roles in the last few years. All her films have sexually explicit content and she managed to break through the traditional norms for film stars. While her movies were meant to participate in film festivals, only ‘Bishh’ managed to be screened in theatres.
Mir, the popular Mirchi man is trying hard to change his appearance but somehow the audience is failing to adapt to the change in his performance. He is known to crack jokes on the screen along with mimicry. However, who can forget his live performance with the National Award-winning director Rituparno Ghosh? Ghosh ripped into Mir and asked him to respect the media personalities.
Vikram Chatterjee became famous for his daily soap ‘Icchenodi’ early on in his career but his lifestyle was not unimpressive. He got arrested for his connection with the death of Sonika Chauhan in the car accident. That particular incident tarnished his image to some extent. He is presently maintaining a low profile after getting release from jail.
