Love is one thing that can make people do all sorts of things, even quitting their jobs. Similar cases have also been seen in Bollywood, where many actresses left the industry at the peak of their careers—all because of love. Today, we will discuss one such actress who once topped the charts during her time. However, it was love that made her quit her job. Apart from her professional life, her personal life also made headlines among fans. Initially, she was linked to a married man and later tied the knot with a Pakistani cricketer. If you are wondering who this beauty is, then let us tell you—we are talking about Reena Roy.

Reena made her debut at the age of 15 with the film Zaroorat in 1972. Over the next few years, she featured in hit films like Kaalicharan and Naagin, and turned out to be one of the most loved actresses of her time. Not just that, she was one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood at just 19 years of age.

In the early 80s, Reena climbed the ladder of success and was at the peak of her career. She worked with big names in the industry such as Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Sunil Dutt, and more.

While Reena’s professional life made headlines, it was her personal life too that came under public glare. She was widely discussed among the audience for her affair with Shatrughan Sinha, who married Poonam Sinha in 1980.

At the age of 26, Reena surprised everyone by quitting Bollywood and tying the knot with Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan, and moving across the border. The couple was blessed with a baby girl whom they named Jannat. However, soon after, Reena and Mohsin’s marriage did not last long and the duo got divorced in 1990.

After the divorce, Reena returned to India, and her daughter’s custody was given to her. It was Shatrughan Sinha who helped her get custody of her daughter.
