Why do successful women fall for bad boys?

It's happened way too often and it will keep happening. Attractive, successful women gravitating to men who are less that perfect, abusive towards women and even physically violent. The latest in this sad line of stories is Sonal Chauhan, the lead actress from Bollywoods latest hit, Jannat. She was seeing Sahil Jajoo (is the name right?) earlier and the relationship started tapering off (after she became successful???) and she tried moving away from him. He had a angry showdown with her at a airport in Mumbai and apparently snatched her phone and pushed her around. She has filed a complaint and the case is under investigation.

This Sahil is the same guy who reportedly supplied drugs to the fatal Rahul Mahajan/Moitra party in which Moitra ended up dead. He is also allegedly a dealer in Shahtoosh shawls (illegal btw). And a few other acts of law breaking apparently.

My point is didn't this girl know what she was getting into? A guy into drugs, illegal shawls/merchandise dealings? Why do girls get attracted towards such guys?? Or is it a case of use and throw?

Ambitious women using rich and brash women on their way up and dumping them when they get there? The list contains Aishwarya Rai, one of the most prominent people whose story we are all aware of. She was successful at her own level but needed to step up. Thats when Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam happened and she got her first A-list hit!! Later months/years later she spoke about him being abusive, physically violent (or did she leave that out) and his cheating on her regularly. Why not when he did all this, and dump him right away? I'm no fan of Salman Khan, another bad guy of the worst order, but it does look like that he was used to an extent in our male-dominated industry. Women do use men in their climb to the top. And men oblige. When its a two way understanding, we have the Urmila-Ramu affairs, Nisha-Ramu affairs and so on....and Ramu is still going strong.

Well besides these affairs, Bollywood is also releasing movies, Haal-E-Dil being the most prominent one.
