Priyanka Chopra is best known to western audiences for being married to Nick Jonas, but in her home country she's a huge movie star, and a big name on the 'Bollywood' scene. She's made plenty of smash hit Indian films, including 'Saat Khoon Maaf,' which also starred fellow Bollywood legend, Annu Kapoor. Reading between the lines, it would seem that the two of them didn't get along.
Kapoor's character was one of Chopra's seven husbands in the movie, and so she was asked to kiss him and film other romantic scenes. Kapoor says Chopra refused, citing the fact that he was almost three decades older than her. Chopra denies the accusation that she refused to kiss him - she simply insists that there was never any such scene in the script - but she did say that if she had to choose any of her seven husbands to die, he would have been the one to go. How lovely!
Not all celebrities have fame and fortune, some are just famous – and in a ton of debt. They came from rags to riches, then went back to rags. Whether they’ve filed bankruptcy, ended up in court, or just can’t stop spending, celebrities mismanage their money just like everyone else. They just hide it well.
50 Cent coined the term “wanksta,” then “partied like it was his birthday” until he filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015. The rapper was said to be anywhere between $10 million and $50 million in debt. In 2016, a federal bankruptcy court judge in Connecticut approved a plan for the founder of G-Unit to pay his debts back. He was able to get his bankruptcy discharged in February of the following year.
Following a 45-year-long career in Hollywood, acting in more than 70 films, actor Gary Busey found himself in more debt than he was worth. In 2012, it was reported that Busey owed between $500,000 and $1 million worth of debt, but only had $50,000 to his name. The 74-year-old actor owed money to hospitals, banks, the L.A. Waterworks District, and even a storage company. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy that same year. Despite his longstanding career in Hollywood, Busey's net worth is now only $500,000.
Burt Reynolds is still worth five million dollars, but his battles with debt date back more than 20 years. Between bad investments and a pricey divorce from actress Loni Anderson, the 1970s superstar had to deal with over $10 million in debt and decided to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996. While testifying in a 1994 custody hearing, the South Florida native said he spent $40 million getting through his divorce.
The former Hollywood bad boy, Charlie Sheen owes the IRS nearly $5 million. But that's not all.

That same year, Debt.com reported Sheen owed nearly $300,000 on an American Express card alone.
