Taking stock of B-Town's divorces post media reports of Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan's divorce that came through over this weekend, you will notice that the rate of divorces in Tinseltown is far less than what it would ideally seem from the outside world.

Raj Kapoor was enamoured with Nargis, and Dev Anand was infatuated with Zeenat Aman; enough to make it seem like both these evergreen superstars would end their marriages. However, when it came to the crunch, neither did.

Marks must be given to their spouses Krishna Kapoor and Kalpana Kartik (Mona Anand) for maintaining the home and hearth of these men whose high-profile link-ups did rock the boat to a degree. But in the end, it was the 'sanctity' of marriage that won.

Raj Kapoor's oldest-born Randhir's own marriage hit rock-bottom a decade and a half after he married Babita in 1971. In fact, this one was a bit of a shock because Dabboo actually wooed Babita for years before tying the knot. And it did seem like their match was made in heaven. However, after Kareena's birth in September 1980, this couple saw little happiness.

But the strange bit is that even after 40 years, this couple only remains estranged not divorced. As Randhir has often said, "Babita and I didn't divorce because neither of us had plans to remarry. Whatever I have today belongs to her and my two daughters - Karisma and Kareena. Since there is no inclination to marry or sire children, I never felt the need to get officially divorced." His daughter Karisma Kapoor, who ruled the roost in the 90s, though, ended her decade long marriage with businessman husband Sanjay Kapur and is today locked in a custody battle with him.
