How Many Bollywood Actors Have Legal Cases Against Them?

Bollywood Actors With Criminal Records: These days, Bollywood and crime don't appear to be distinct entities. Occasionally, Bollywood superstars have managed to entertain even off-screen, whether it be by breaking laws, committing criminal acts, scuffles, drunk driving, hit-and-run cases, and so on. Some instances go away over time, while others reappear on occasion.

Many celebrities, including Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Jeetendra, and Raveena Tandon, have made news for violating laws.

This speculation has been reinforced by the current case of Raj Kundra's brush with pornography, as well as the case of Rhea Chakraborty. But, even before Rhea, several well-known Bollywood stars had run-ins with the law. Take a look at the list of Famous Bollywood Actors with Criminal Records to see what your favourite star has been up to.

During the promotion of his film 'Raees,' King Khan was arrested for reportedly 'rioting' and 'damaging' railway property at Kota Railway Station.

Rahul Bhatt

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt's proximity to 26/11 conspirator David Headley brought him under the scanner of anti-terror agencies.

Salman Khan

After reportedly poaching three chinkaras - two in Bhawad village and one in Mathania (Ghoda Farm) during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain,' two separate charges were filed against Salman in 1998 under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act. In addition to him, the case names Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Dushyant Singh. Khan was accused in October 1998 of having an illegal 0.22 rifle and a 0.32 revolver and using them to hunt two blackbucks in Kankani village, Jodhpur. In the early hours of September 28, 2002, the 'Sultan' star was accused of driving his car over a gathering of people sleeping on a sidewalk outside a bakery in Mumbai's Bandra.

Saif Ali Khan

Apart from being implicated in the blackbuck poaching case with Salman Khan and his Hum Saath Saath Hain co-stars, the Nawab of Pataudi also made news in 2012 for being embroiled in a huge fight. He was dining at The Taj Hotel with his then-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and other companions when he got into a scuffle with another diner, after which he was charged with Attempt to Murder.

Fardeen Khan

In 2001, the actor was caught while attempting to purchase a gram of cocaine, but he was not imprisoned and instead was directed to a rehabilitation facility. Fardeen Khan won't be remembered for his films, but he will be remembered for his criminal charges after he was found with cocaine in 2001. A special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court accused him of having 1 gram of cocaine again in 2010.

John Abraham

We all know how much he loves bikes, but did you know that in 2006, the actor was arrested for reckless and irresponsible driving, which resulted in the injuries of two pedestrians. The actor, on the other hand, was released on bond. John is renowned for being an excellent biker, so this is rather rare. When the actor was accused of causing an accident and injuring two people, his drive for speed landed him in trouble. He was sentenced to 15 days in prison. Instead, John Abraham just had to pay an Rs. 1,500 bail.

Priyanka Chopra

Technically, she wasn’t booked under any criminal charge, but the actress had a brush with the law when IT officials raided her apartment on January 23, 2011. Don’t remember? Well, this was the same time when her then-rumoured boyfriend Shahid Kapoor was found in her apartment before the raids as well. Ah, there you go!

Monica Bedi

For falsifying her travel documents, the yesteryear actress spent two years in a Portuguese prison. She has faced legal issues as a result of her links to organised crime and the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings. Monica Bedi was caught and sentenced to five years in prison for passport forgery in 2005. She is more known as the girlfriend of the underworld don Abu Salem than as a Bollywood star.

Rajpal Yadav

For hiding information regarding a Rs 5 crore recovery suit launched against him and his wife by a Delhi-based businessman after they failed to repay a debt, the comedian was held in judicial custody for ten days.

Sonali Bendre

She was detained for appearing bare-legged on a magazine cover with religious symbols imprinted on it while wearing a loose shirt. She was also a spectator in Salman Khan's blackbuck case, although she was not found guilty.

Akshay Kumar & Twinkle Khanna

When Twinkle Khanna opened Akshay Kumar's denim button at a Levis runway show, she was charged with public indecency. Although everything was done with consent, the matter was exaggerated, and the actors were arrested.
