Her Bollywood career hasn’t exactly flourished in the same way one would expect it to after watching her in Jism. Her last few films were also majorly bombed at the box office. But she, however, still remains a popular face. Her marriage to Karan Singh Grover in 2016 has attracted much attention too. With far more assets and earnings to her name than KSG, looks like she is the boss here. Way to go Bips!
