On-screen couples who got married

Not many star romances stood the test of time but here are a few that did manage to stay together on & off-screen.

1. Amitabh & Jaya Bachchan

This couple got married, after a brewing romance, in 1973. The wedding was a hush-hush affair as the Bachchans wanted to invite only the close family members. This duo acted in movies like ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Silsila’ and the super hit ‘Sholay’. They last acted together in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’.

 

2. Dharmendra & Hema Malini

Dharmendra got to marry the ‘dream girl’ of Bollywood in 1980 and it was rumoured that he converted to Islam in order to do so as his first wife refused to divorce him. Things people do in love! They fell for each other while acting together in ‘Sholay’. Recently they were paired together in the dud ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’.

 

3. Rishi Kapoor & Neetu Singh

This marriage had been long time coming and inevitable as the duo had been seeing each other for quite a while. Rishi Kapoor was reportedly commitment phobic fuelling rumors of a possible fallout but finally married the teenage heartthrob Neetu. In recent times they have featured together in ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ and ‘Love Aaj Kal’.

 

4. Ajay Devgn & Kajol

People say opposites attract and this couple is a prime example of the same. While Kajol is outgoing and boisterous, Ajay is the total opposite. This duo met during filming of the movie ‘Hulchul’ and love blossomed. Soon after a whirlwind romance, they tied the knot in a simple ceremony. They have acted in movies like ‘U, Me & Hum’, ‘Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha’ and the recent dud ‘Toonpur Ka Superhero’.

 

5. Abhishek Bachchan & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

This golden couple of Bollywood is one of the most sought after. They worked together in movies like ‘Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke’, ‘Umrao Jaan’ and ‘Guru’ prior to their wedding. Their wedding was one of the most publicised affairs and created a lot of brouhaha. Post their wedding they acted together in ‘Raavan’ and ‘Sarkar Raj’.

 

6. Ranveer Shorey & Konkana Sen Sharma

This couple is a power-packed performance house in itself. They recently were blessed with a baby boy. They have acted in ‘Aaja Nachle’, ‘Traffic Signal’, Mixed Doubles’ to name a few and are being considered to be cast together in ‘Jackpot’.

 

7. Pankaj Kapur & Supriya Pathak

This is another couple that has always managed to wow the audience with their performances. Supriya is the 2nd wife of Pankaj. They were paired together in ‘Dharm’ which was much appreciated by everyone.

 

8. Ritesh Deshmukh & Genelia D’Souza

This is the newest couple on this list. Although they had been seeing each other for over 10 years, they got married only in 2012. They starred together in their debut movie ‘Tujhe Meri Kasam’, which although didn’t do all that well but was enough to ignite the romance between the lead pair. Their last movie together was ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’ which was an average hit.
