1. Sushmita Sen
What began as fan letters quickly turned into a very messy situation for the former Miss Universe in 2008 when a stalker sent her a full bridal ensemble and threatened her to either marry him or die.
2. Katrina Kaif
In 2009, a man followed the star around for over 9 months, turning up at her events, posing as her bodyguard, and even landing at her doorstep.
3. John Abraham

8. Shahid Kapoor

Vastavikta Pandit, the daughter of actor Rajkumar, stalked Shahid obsessively, following him around, claiming she was in love with him and even buying a flat next to his. It reached a peak when she claimed to be his wife. Shahid filed a police complaint. It was all chalked down to her psychological problems.
