Rumours and fake news can either make or ruin someone’s life and career. Some actors survived these rumours and moved ahead, while some ruined their careers because of it. Here is a list of actors whose career was ruined because of rumours and their own bad choices.
Vivek Oberoi
Vivek Oberoi had a fallout with Salman Khan after he started dating the latter’s ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai. As per reports, Vivek had called a press conference to humiliate Salman after the latter allegedly called him 42 times to harass him for dating his ex. Following this incident, Vivek’s career in the industry was ruined and he couldn’t revive it.

In 2005, India TV had released a video of Shakti Kapoor asking for a sexual favour from an undercover reporter. After this sting operation, the actor was banned by the Film & Television Producers Guild of India.
Mamta Kulkarni
Mamta Kulkarni was a child of controversies. From posing topless for the cover of Stardust magazine to the involvement of gangster Chhota Rajan in getting her a role in China Gate, all these controversies ruined her career.
Mandakini
After being accused of having an affair with Dawood Ibrahim, she quit acting and got married to a doctor. The actress denied the rumours of link up with Dawood, but it certainly sabotaged her career.
