7 Bollywood Celebs Who Have Struggled With Alcoholism
1) Arjun Rampal
An endorsee of a popular alcohol brand, Arjun Rampal first kissed the bottle at the age of 21. The reason he hadn’t started earlier was because he was training to become an athlete. But as soon as his modelling career took off, he was hooked on to the bottle. He hasn’t kept his addiction under wraps.
2) Manisha Koirala
Manisha Koirala’s addition to alcohol and cigarettes was fueled by the lack of movie offers and no luck with personal relationships. After a fierce battle against cancer, Manisha has apparently let go of her vices.
3) Dharmendra
The legendary actor was hooked to the bottle for a solid 15 years! He let go of his addiction by taking up a hobby: Writing. He has been open about how quitting alcohol has helped him get his life back on track. Respect, sir!
4) Meena Kumari
Popularly known as the Tragedy Queen, her real life was as sad as the characters she portrayed on the screen. One of the most iconic actresses of the 60s, she was a heavy drinker. Alcohol had such a tight grip on Meena Kumari’s life that the beauty passed away at the age of 39 due to liver cirrhosis.
5) Silk Smitha
Brought to light by Vidya Balan’s immaculate depiction of the Southie siren, Silk Smitha’s life was filled with unexpected twists and turns. She couldn’t keep her success going and incurred heavy losses because of failed productions. The story of her depression and eventual suicide is known to all. Another example to avoid dependency on alcohol!
6) Mahesh Bhatt
Mahesh Bhatt’s struggle with alcohol has been well-known. In order to overcome his addiction, he took to cinema. ‘Daddy’ was just one of the many films which was inspired from many of his personal experiences. Bravo, Mahesh!
7) Yo Yo Honey Singh
Missing in action for the past 18 months, the rapper/actor recently revealed that he was in fact battling alcoholism and a bipolar disorder! In a candid interview, he revealed, “I was scared of my own family. I wasn’t behaving like myself. I was a sick person. I wasn’t in my own control.” But now after being treated by 4 different doctors, the rapper is returning to the scene. No more ‘Chaar Bottle Vodka’ we hope!
