Top 10 Scandals Of Bollywood Actresses Till 2022

India's film industry, known as Bollywood, is one of the world's largest, producing more films each year than Hollywood. Bollywood has a habit of hiring extremely attractive people, particularly ladies. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sridevi, Rekha, and others are among the most famous Bollywood beauties of all time. However, several of these women have been caught red-handed doing things that have gotten them in trouble and raised questions about their character. We recognise that no one is perfect, but it is important to maintain one's image and reputation in society, especially when one is a public person and an idol to a large number of people around the world. Another reason that Bollywood is still in the news is the casting couch.

So, here's a list of Bollywood actresses that have been involved in a few scandalous incidents, some of which have harmed their already-burgeoning careers!
