The melodrama and kitchen counter politics of shows seem mild compared to the scandals off the camera in the TV world. Catastrophic blunders, contentious issues and shocking truths rocked telly town this year. hitlist highlights a few that made us gasp and sometimes roar with laughter:

When Anas took on-screen romance too seriously...

Deepika Singh and Anas Rashid

The on-screen romance between Diya Aur Baati Hum's Deepika Singh and Anas Rashid went a little awry when Anas apparently perhaps carried away by the scene tried allegedly feeling her up. In true telly style, Deepika planted a hard slap on Anas' cheeks and he in turn, abused her. Cine and TV Artistes' Association intervened and peace followed. Now they claim to be buddies. A strange way of thawing ice we must say.

When Tina was branded the other woman...

Tina Dutta, Raman Handa, Shraddha Arya's sister Divya,

Raman Handa called off his wedding with Shraddha Arya's sister Divya due to 'compatibility issues'. However, Shraddha went on record to say his affair with actress Tina Dutta caused the break up. While blame games continued, Tina was left fuming. However, her silence on the matter added fuel to fire. Sources claim a heartbroken Divya even attempted suicide.

When Karan forgot he was married...

Karan Patel dated Kamya Punjabi

Karan Patel dated Kamya Punjabi all of last year, but in early 2015, he called her 'just a friend' and married actress Ankita Bhargava. They painted social media red with their 'love' until the Box Cricket League launch where Kamya stated her reasons for not bringing Karan back in her team. Later, in the evening, a drunk Karan showed up at Kamya's after-party, begging her to take him back.

When Jay secretly ordered for some hot room 'service'...

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij

Rumours of Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij heading for a divorce have been doing media rounds forever, but things got heated up in Argentina, where the couple was shooting for Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi. Supposedly, Jay and Mahhi had an argument over his growing closeness with co-contestant Parvathy Omanakuttan. Add to that rumours of the actor ordering for sensuous massages in his room. Clearly, he rubbed his wife the wrong way.

When Rashami finally walked out on Nandish...

Rashami Desai and Nandish Sandhu

After a lot of back-and-forth in their relationship, Rashami Desai and Nandish Sandhu have finally opted for a mutual divorce. While they claimed dance reality show Nach Baliye brought them together, even a five-year-old could sense the distance between them. The actors confirmed that divorce proceedings are on. Sources say Nandish is dating a model now, but the actor has denied it.

When Daljeet and Shaleen's love story turned violent...


Daljeet Kaur and Shaleen Bhanot

Daljeet Kaur and Shaleen Bhanot were blissfully married for four years or so we thought, until we heard that the couple planning to file for divorce. They seemed to reconsider their decision and then suddenly, Daljeet bowled a googly when she straight went to the cops lodging a complaint alleging Shaleen attempted to kill her! Needless to say, the couple parted on a rather ugly note post that.

When Divyanka found romance on a rebound...

Divyanka Tripathi and Ssharad Malhotra

Divyanka Tripathi was supposed to get married to Ssharad Malhotra in early 2015, but then came rumours about the actress calling it off. A week or two later, Divyanka began talking about their break up and how her family supported her through the crisis. Even before the year could end, the actress is back on the horse and reportedly dating her Yeh Hai Mohabbatein co-star, Vivek Dahiya.

When Parth was not sure if he should be in or out of a show...

Parth Samthaan

Parth Samthaan is a confused soul. When Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan became popular, he threw tantrums over sharing his vanity van, his remuneration and what not. When his demands were not met, he threatened to quit and sent feelers to the media. Then he took to social media to announce plans to quit, but ultimately decided to stick around. And oh, he really did walk out of the show when better offers came his way only to go back to it later.

...And when he started keeping score of his sexual conquests
Parth, who ironically had earlier claimed he was a virgin on a chat show, later allegedly created a Whatsapp group to - hold your breath - discuss his and his friends' sexual conquests and then compare their scores. An amused friend decided to leak the information and Parth, of course, denied having done anything of that sort. His co-star Utkarsh Gupta, however, reportedly confirmed the buzz.
