Farhan Akhtar's crackling chemistry with Wazir co-star Aditi Rao Hydari was reportedly the last straw that broke the camel's back, in this case his 15-year-old marriage with Adhuna Bhabani.
Farhan had identified the kitchen scene in which he reconciles with Aditi as his favourite moment in the movie. In the scene, he tries to help an unhappy Aditi in doing the dishes but gets rebuffed. When he starts leaving, she holds him back.
There was also an intense lovemaking scene between Farhan and Aditi, which looked so sensuous, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra decided to chop it off to avoid problems with the censor board.
Quoting Bollywood grapevine, The Telegraph said the scene was "...The last straw that broke the actor-director's 16-year marriage with hair stylist Adhuna Bhabani."
Of course, no Bollywood marriage crumbles over a scene, however passionate. But The Telegraph quoted an unnamed director saying gossip has linked Farhan to other women over the years testing Adhuna's patience.
The director is quoted saying Farhan had been involved with an assistant director while shooting Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Then, on the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do Farhan was reportedly linked to another co star.
"Adhuna was getting fed up... I think eventually with Wazir she threw in the towel," said the director.
Adhuna is Farhan's second wife. He had been briefly married to Riya Jain after a long relationship with Suman Ranganathan.
She was born in London to a Bengali father and a British mother. She grew up in London and came to India for the first time after her father's death to meet his family in Calcutta.
Adhuna made her Bollywood debut as hairstylist in Dil Chahta Hai, which was Farhan's maiden venture as director.
She runs a hugely successful BBlunt salons and has now launched a range of hair products by the same name.
