From Aamir Khan's nude poster in 'PK', Preity Zinta's molestation complaint against former boyfriend Ness Wadia to the political storm caused by 'Kaum De Heere', the year 2014 saw celebrities hogging the limelight with their share of controversies.
Aamir, who is known for experimenting with his looks in films, appeared nude on the poster of his film 'PK' with only a radio protecting his modesty. The 49-year-old actor's bold act invited shock, amusement and even a legal case.
While the performance of Zinta's IPL team Kings XI Punjab was good in the last season of the cricket extravaganza, the actress made headlines for her fight with team's co-owner and former boyfriend Ness Wadia.
Zinta filed a complain against him for allegedly molesting, abusing and threatening her inside Wankhede stadium in South Mumbai. Police launched a probe into the matter and recorded the statements of IPL CEO and others even as Wadia rejected the charge as "false and baseless".
Deepika Padukone had a great year in films but locked horns with a leading daily after it posted her cleavage-baring photo on Twitter.
Debutante filmmaker Ravinder Ravi created political storm with his divisive 'Kaum De Heere', an account of the incidents of 1984 riots. The film was banned in Punjab.
