Dawood Ibrahim was madly in love with these 4 actresses, one quit acting, one disappeared mysteriously, one heroine is looking for a partner, names are…

There was a time when Bollywood danced to the tunes of fear, and Dawood Ibrahim played the conductor. In the 80s and 90s, his name was more powerful than any producer’s, and any actor or actress who had his backing rose overnight. But what came with the glow was an inevitable shadow.

Over the years, whispers and headlines have circled four striking women who, for better or worse, became linked to India’s most wanted underworld don. Here’s a look at what happened to the women Dawood reportedly loved, where they soared, and where they vanished.

Mandakini

The Ram Teri Ganga Maili actress was reportedly one of Dawood’s earliest high-profile obsessions. Their pictures from race courses to public events made gossip columns explode.
While the affection seemed mutual, “Both were seen together quite a few times,” noted sources, the attention gradually eclipsed Mandakini’s career. She withdrew from the limelight and slipped into years of controversy and speculation.

Anita Ayub

Pakistani actress Anita Ayub’s Bollywood entry came with more than just roles; she had alleged support from Dawood himself. Things took a dark turn when Javed Siddiqui, a filmmaker, was allegedly shot dead for refusing to cast her.

After that, Anita disappeared from the industry. Though she reportedly remarried after a failed first marriage, her current whereabouts remain unknown.

Jasmine Dhunna

Veerana actress Jasmine Dhunna captivated audiences, and allegedly, Dawood too. But as rumours of his interest intensified, Jasmine vanished.
Some say she fled abroad and even married a Jordanian man, but nothing has been confirmed. Her life after Bollywood remains an enduring mystery.

Mehwish Hayat

From an item girl to one of Pakistan’s top stars, Mehwish Hayat’s rise was sudden — and, reportedly, helped by her rumoured link to Dawood. While she has never acknowledged any such connection, her recent quote, “I’ve started thinking seriously about marriage. My mom keeps pushing me,” sparked online chatter that the alleged romance is over.

Were these women victims of obsession or beneficiaries of influence?

Each of these women gained something: fame, attention, power. But they also paid a price, often with their careers, privacy, and freedom.
Love stories tied to the underworld were never just gossip; they were loaded, explosive, and unforgettable.
