Last year, we saw a number of long standing Hollywood relationships crumble to ashes, and this new year is proving to be a sequel to it, with a number of Bollywood power couples calling it quits after spending over a decade together.
Late last year, Bollywood actress Konkona Sen Sharma and actor husband Ranvir Shorey decided to mutually end their five year marriage.

They would have celebrated they 10th anniversary in February this year.
