Even in the elite of society, amongst Bollywood stars, you can find several who went to prison, some for smaller offenses and some for more serious. Here’s a list of Bollywood actors who went to jail, and we bet you will be shocked about some faces you will see while reading through this article.
Fardeen Khan
Fardeen Khan did a good start in Bollywood, winning the Filmfare Best Debut Award in 1998 for his movie Prem Agan. But we’re not here to know which movies he acted in, but what he did to go to jail right? Well, in 2001 Fardeen Khan was arrested for possession of cocaine.
Madhur Bhandarkar
Madhur Bhandarkar is famous for his movies with female protagonists like Page 3, Chandni Bar, Heroine and Traffic Signal. Guess why he went to jail? He was accused of raping an aspiring actress! And as it goes with big people, no conclusive evidence turned up, so he was found not guilty by the court.
Monica Bedi
Here comes a bad girl! Now you’ll be wondering what she did. In 2002 Monica Bedi went to Portugal. All fine till here. BUT she went there with forged documents. Whatever, anyway, she stayed in Lisbon prison for nearly three years till in 2005 she and her guy were deported to India.
Shiney Ahuja
Now what did a guy with such a bright start do to end up in jail? In 2009 his maid accused him of rape, and Ahuja was arrested. After 3 months he was released on bail. He was convicted again for 27 days and again released on bail. Whether he really raped her or not, he was in jail, and this kinda ruined his career.
Saif Ali Khan
Ok people, now you’re allowed to be all like “OMG”! What did this gorgeous star of movies like Kal Ho Na Ho, Hum Tum do to see jail? Relax, he just forgot not to be on stage during a real-life dinner. A guy from a near table merely asked him to talk quietly when Saif punched him and broke his nose. The victim went to hospital and our star went to cool his heels in a police station.
Salman Khan
OKAY people calm down. What the hell on earth did Sallu Miyaan do to go to jail? And no need of intro lines here, as we all know what he is famous for. So, chill, he just shot a couple of rare antelopes during a movie shot in Rajasthan. He spent a few days in prison before being bailed out. The case is still in court.
Sanjay Dutt
We probably all know him, we mean the list of his filmography is so long we can’t read it all. What did he do? Why is he on this list? He was convicted for illegal possession of firearms, handed over to him by people with terrorist links. He was sentenced to prison and he’s currently serving a jail term.
