Actresses in Bollywood today are looking for ways to hog the limelight and garner publicity in all possible forms. A couple of years back MMS was the most volatile and vulnerable medium through which many celebs gained both fame and defame.

Indiatimes Movies takes a look at some of the most controversial MMS scandals from the lot

Kareena Kapoor & Shahid Kapur

There have been recent rumours of Bebo and Shahid parting ways with Kareena apparently having found ‘love’ with Saif Ali Khan. But at the time when Shahid was dating Kareena, an MMS clip featuring the couple kissing each other at a function was hugely doing the rounds in Bollywood.

Some till date assume that Kareena and Shahid did it to garner publicity in the media and to show that they were an ‘item’. Both tried their best and kept matters quiet in the media but the kiss became famous before they knew it.

Riya Sen & Ashmit Patel

You can say that this was a ‘best seller’ in the MMS clips category. Both Riya Sen and Ashmit allegedly benefited from this publicity stunt.

The clip then became the reason for their break-up too. Riya also accused Ashmit of leaking the tape to the media. The tape apparently showed some explicit lovemaking scenes between the two former lovers and traveled many hands and finally was all over the place.

Everyone till today assumes that Ashmit Patel was the one who made the merry and got away with it but the real truth may still be hidden.

Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat, the bindaas babe of tinsel ville has always been one who spoke her mind. But to appear in an MMS clip making love and having sex was taking things too far, isn’t it?

The video depicted a couple enjoying in bed with all intricate details of a blue film. The alleged producer even added his own creative touch to the drama by playing the song Dil ne hazar baar roka roka roka from the movie Murder.

Although it later turned out that the woman in the clip was only a look-alike of Mallika, the MMS certainly created all the desired hype and hoopla.

Trisha

One of the rare South actresses to have featured in an MMS clip, Trisha’s been a very bankable star who has delivered some of the biggest hits down South. But this was not the first instance where Trisha was caught scandalously on camera.

She was allegedly filmed before and the actress made a huge hue and cry about it lending the issue undue importance.

The most recent clip of Trisha shows her working out in the gym with her back where she is stark nak*d.

Though we must say that the star has learnt her lesson from the past not giving the controversy any deserved attention as most are aware that the person in the clip is apparently a look-alike.
