Marriage might be considered heavenly for some, but for a few Telugu film celebrities, it seems more like hell. Some embraced singlehood throughout their lives, while others walked away from marriage shortly after stepping into it. The film industry has seen its share of separations due to compatibility issues, leaving only a handful of couples who have managed to sustain both marriage and a career in cinema.
