After writing about 50 DIVORCES IN BOLLY WOOD , I got many good reviews.(many were shocked to find out the list). It was purely based on my research with out the help of any one. Later few of my north Indian friends urged me to write about Bollywood and that also ,some how i managed to write. Yesterday i got request for Tamil industry as well. This time i struggled a bit to collect the data.And few of my friends from Chennai really helped me to prepare this article.
