Here is the curated list of Indian actors from the entertainment industry who became their ladylove's second husband.
Bollywood and love stories never miss a chance to inspire millions of fans worldwide. However, many times people also tend to bring unhappiness while living with their spouses, with whom they are completely unsatisfied. But setting an example and coming out of those marriages were also seen in the Bollywood industry, quite a number of times. And even after getting massively trolled for their first failed marriages or giving love a second chance, these celebrities never think of taking a step backwards. Instead, they get lost in the embrace of their new loved ones and set trends.
Moreover, from time immemorial, we have also often known about a king’s list of queens and consorts. This is also followed by the macho man of society, who is never judged for getting hitched more than once. But on the other hand, women are often looked down upon for their decisions. But in this matter too, the popular actors have made an example by gracefully accepting to be their ladylove's second husband.
