Inspiring Love Stories from Bollywood
Not only on-screen but
also in the real-life, some Bollywood couples are looked upon as the epitome of
love. These couples have proved that love transcends everything. Let us have a
look at some inspiring real-life couples in Indian cinema.
1. Dilip-Saira
Dilip Kumar and Saira
Banu had an age difference of 22 years, but they did not let this come in
between their evergreen love. Saira Banu had always been a big fan of the 'King
of Tragedy', Dilip Kumar. Her mother, Naseem, offered her daughter’s hand in
marriage to Dilip Kumar. They got married in 1966 when Saira was just 22. Saira
gave up acting altogether after a few years.
2. Amitabh-Jaya
Considered to be the
golden couple of Bollywood, Amitabh and Jaya have been through their fair share
of controversies. Yet, they have emerged out with their heads held high, and their
love for each other stronger than ever. The tall, dark and handsome, Amitabh
Bachchan, fell in love with the petite damsel, Jaya Bhaduri, and they tied the
knot on June 3, 1973. At this time, Jaya was already an established actor,
while Amitabh had just tasted success with his first solo hit, Zanjeer (which co-starred Jaya). Amitabh further found
success as the ‘angry young man’ and went on to become a superstar.
When the couple
celebrated more than four decades of togetherness, Amitabh Bachchan had shared
a very beautiful moment of the two on his Twitter account. He tweeted one of
his old pictures with Jaya Bachchan on his 42nd wedding anniversary and thanked
all his fans for their best wishes.
3. Dharmendra-Hema
The original He-Man of
Bollywood was a married man, but that did not stop him from being besotted by
the Dream Girl, Hema Malini. Their love blossomed on the sets of film Sholay. This
couple soon hit a rough patch, when Dharmendra's first wife, Prakash Kaur,
refused to give him a divorce.
Hema was wooed by
Sanjeev Kumar as well as Jeetendra. In fact, her biographer claims that Hema
Malini almost got married to Jeetendra. But, when Dharmendra made up his mind,
there was no looking back after that. He, however, did not leave his first wife
and chose to convert to Islam, so that he and Hema could get married. Both the
actors converted to Islam in 1979, changed their names to Dilawar Khan Kewal
Krishn and Aisha Bi R. Chakravarty, and got married.
4. Rishi-Neetu
The original
lover boy of Bollywood, Rishi Kapoor fell head over heels in love with his
co-star, Neetu Singh. Their reel life chemistry was already a success at the
box office and had set the hearts of millions of young fans on fire. It was now
the time to do khullam khulla pyar in
real life too. Neetu, who was just 21 at the time of the wedding and one of the
most sought-after actresses, chose to leave the Bollywood post-marriage.
A lot of people speculated that it was a “forced
retirement”, but Neetu silenced the rumour mills saying that it was her
personal choice. Neetu made a comeback and starred with her husband in Love Aaj Kal, Do Dooni Chaar and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, and she again
dazzled the audiences and the critics with her performance.
5.Shah
Rukh-Gauri
Shah Rukh and
Gauri’s love saga seems more like a fairytale or like the romantic films, which
the actor does. But, this ‘happily ever after’ story had its own highs and
lows.
Gauri’s
parents were against this match because not only did Shah Rukh belong to a
different religion, he was also just a struggling actor at that time with no
financial stability. But, Shah Rukh’s charm won them over and the duo had a
registered marriage, a Hindu style wedding and also a nikah.
6.Akshay-Twinkle
This is a union
against all odds. Akshay Kumar, the true Khiladi of Bollywood, was quite the ladies’ man. The rumour mills
were always abuzz about his affairs and liking towards Raveena Tandon,
Pooja Batra and Shilpa Shetty. His playboy image, however, did not deter Twinkle
Khanna from falling in love with him. The wedding bells for this sweet couple
rang in the year 2001.
These couples truly inspire. Love truly helps sail through 'rough' times. It just grows and strengthens and these couples have shown us that.
