We all make mistakes and amend them, but sometimes there is no coming back especially when you’re in the limelight. And as far as we know human tendency, we all remember someone’s mistakes and bad parts of their lives more than the good things that they did. The same happens when a celebrity career is ruined. They try so hard to make things good again that instead of reviving them, they end up making situations worse, and losing the true essence of what they had started with.

Here is a list of people who are the best examples of cutting the branch on which they were sitting.

Macaulay Culkin (The Home Alone Kid)

This child actor has seen it all, he topped many lists of child stars. His stardom got into trouble after his friendship with the king of pop, Michael Jackson was under scrutiny. Macaulay Culkin was even called in the court to testify against Michael Jackson. Then later in 2004 he was arrested for the possession of marijuana and other drugs. Thus diving deeper into trouble.

Fardeen khan

Fardeen had won the Filmfare Best Debut Award, after which things looked pretty good for this star son. But trouble was just around the corner when he was remanded by the Narcotics Control Bureau for the possession of cocaine. Things never bounced back for him on the professional front.

Vinod Kambli

His childhood best friend, Sachin Tendulkar and he made their debut together. When he started out many believed he was more talented than Sachin, but stardom got to his head and then it was just downhill from there. Vinod Kambli has always been surrounded with controversy from crying on the field, his flamboyant nature, addiction to alcohol just about everything. There was a time when everything else was more important than cricket.

Aftab Shivdasani

He bagged Zee Cine Best Male Debut award and Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Male for Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Mast’ opposite Urmila Matondkar, and was fine until 2005 when he was accused of doing drugs at Pune’s Fire and Ice Hotspot, which was the ultimate blow to his ‘could-have-been’ career.

S. Sreesanth

Sreesanth was one of the best fast-medium-pace bowlers in the Indian squad, but he cut his career short by himself. He was banned for life from all forms of cricket by BCCI, because of his connection in spot-fixing in IPL 2013. After cricket now he is trying to fix his place in Bollywood, with his dance and upcoming movie.

Rajesh Khanna

The first super star on Indian celluloid, he was the highest paid actor for 17 years at a stretch. After his divorce from Dimple Kapadia he became an alcoholic and thus started the downfall of his career. It’s said that he failed to accept the reality of the hour, he slapped filmmakers for giving him side roles. His addiction to alcohol ruined him and his career, he even drank when he was ill. He was in a league of its own.

Tiger Woods

Not only was he the most successful golfer of all time, he was also the highest paid athlete in the world for many years. In December 2009, stories of his infidelity and extramarital affairs with not one but with more than a dozen women surfaced, which he admitted to and apologized for. He then took a break from golf and his ranking fell to no. 58 by 2011. He still has regained his form on the golf course. Looks like intercourse was the secret to his energy.

Amisha Patel

That cute girl next door Ameesha Patel who made her Bollywood debut with ‘Kaho na Pyar hai’ opposite Hrithik Roshan got lost short after her debut. Most actors face struggle before getting a movie, but this lucky lady got such a big break, and ruined it with her wrong choices.

Vivek Oberoi

Remember how girls were falling for Vivek Oberoi after Saathiya? How we wish he could continue that charm for a longer time, but he destroyed it all when he held that press conference about Salman Khan and got involved in unwanted things at the peak of his career.

Shiney Ahuja

This charming handsome ruined with his own hands what could have been a really successful and fruitful career, by getting involved with the disgraceful act of raping his maid in 2009. How we wish he was as charming as he looked in the movies like Gangster and Bhool Bhulaiya.

Britney Spears

Who doesn’t remember Baby one more time word by word? She was a heartthrob and at the zenith of her career when she destroyed it by getting involved in wrong relationships, bad decisions, and drugs.

Lindsay Lohan

The talented actress and singer who started her career at 11 and continued the glory with successful movies like Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, screwed it all up with her regular visits to the rehab, wrong choices and many legal issues. Wonder where that innocent girl from ‘The Parent Trap’ got lost…
