Ajay Devgn, Kajol to Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna: 10 Bollywood couples who fell in love on a film set

You should keep your professional and personal lives separate, right? But sometimes that just doesn’t work out and you end up falling in love with your co-worker. Like any other workplace, love can blossom on the sets of a Bollywood movie and even commercials. Thanks to the romantic storylines that are so good that some actors just can’t stop but fall in love with each other. 

It is evident that the love bug bites many actors on the sets of their movies, but only some of those relationships last. And some go so far that they end up taking vows together. From veteran celebs to the millennials, many Bollywood couples have tied the knot giving us ultimate relationship goals. We have compiled a list of famous couples from the industry whose on-set chemistry blossomed into a real-life relationship. These love stories prove that if it's meant-to-be, it’ll happen. 

Without further ado, let’s dive into the world of reel to real Bollywood romances. 

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan 

Diwali brightness ever ..

Jaya Bachchan developed feelings for the angry young man of Bollywood on the sets of their film, Guddi. Amitabh Bachchan, however, took time to reciprocate the feelings and fell in love with Jaya on the sets of Ek Nazar. 

Ajay Devgn and Kajol 

Repost @officialhumansofbombay We met 25 years ago, on the sets of Hulchul–I was ready for the shot & asked, ‘Where’s my hero?’ Someone pointed him out–he was broodily sitting in a corner. So 10 minutes before I met him, I bitched about him! We began talking on set & became friends. I was dating someone at the time & so was he–I’ve even complained about my then boyfriend to him! Soon, we both broke up with our significant others. Neither of us proposed–it was understood that we were to be together. It went from hand-holding to a lot more before we knew it! We used to go for dinners & so many drives–he lived in Juhu & I, in South Bombay, so half our relationship was in the car! My friends warned me about him–he had quite a reputation. But he was different with me–that’s all I knew. We’d been dating for 4 years, when we decided to get married. His parents were on board, but my dad didn’t talk to me for 4 days. He wanted me to focus on my career, but I was firm & he eventually came around. Again, there was no proposal–we just knew we wanted to spend our lives together. We got married at home & gave the media the wrong venue–we wanted it to be our day. We had a Punjabi ceremony & a Marathi one! I remember, during the pheras Ajay was desperately trying to get the pandit to hurry up & even tried to bribe him! I wanted a long honeymoon–so we travelled to Sydney, Hawaii, Los Angeles… But 5 weeks into it, he fell sick & said, ‘Baby, book me on the next flight home!’ We were supposed to do Egypt, but we cut it short. Over time, we began planning to have kids. I was pregnant during K3G, but had a miscarriage. I was in the hospital that day–the film had done so well, but it wasn’t a happy time. I had another miscarriage after that–it was tough. But eventually it worked out–we had Nysa & Yug & our family’s complete. We’ve been through so much–we’ve formed our own company, Ajay’s on his 100th film & every day we’re building something new. Life with him is content–we’re not too romantic or anything–we care for each other. If I’m thinking idiotic things, it’ll come out of my mouth without a filter & vice versa. Like right now I’m thinking that he owes me a trip to Egypt!

It was not love at first sight for these two, but their story does feel like straight from a movie. Initially at loggerheads with each other, Kajol and Ajay fell in love eventually on the sets of their movie, Hulchul. After dating for 4 years, the couple decided to tie the knot in 1999. 

Dharmendra and Hema Malini 

On Dharamji’s birthday, I pray for his happiness & good health. God bless him alwaysNostalgia time! One of our early fotos together

Love blossomed for this evergreen couple in 1970, on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan. Dharmendra was married but couldn’t stop himself from falling in love with the “Dream Girl”. She didn’t reciprocate the feelings initially but finally gave in due to Dharmendra’s constant efforts to woo her. They tied the knot in 1980. 

Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor 

Meal out after a long period becomes so special!! You value each moment enjoy every dish

They first met on the sets of Zahreela Insaan and became instant friends. In fact, Rishi Kapoor in an interview said that Neetu was his confidante with whom he discussed his girlfriends and heartbreaks. The realization of his love for Neetu came to Rishi when he went outstation to shoot for Barood. He wrote a telegram that read “Yeh Sikhni badi yaad aati hai”. The commitment-phobic Rishi finally committed to Neetu and tied the knot later.

Ranveer and Deepika's romance flourished during their 2013 film, Ram Leela. While it was love at first sight for Ranveer who saw the beauty at an award show but Deepika took her time to reciprocate the same feelings. The duo dated for almost 5 years before tying the knot in 2018. 

Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar

They met each other on the sets of a shoot for Filmfare magazine where Akshay Kumar developed an instant crush on Twinkle. However, it was not until International Khiladi that they fell for each other and started dating. The two got married in 2001. 

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli 

Every dark cloud had a silver lining. And this time, while it may seem like the worst time and in so many ways it actually is, has also forcefully made us all stop and deal with things we might have been running away from because either we were ‘busy’ or it was convenient to say we were 'busy'. If this time is respected for what it is, it will enable more light to shine through. This time has also made us all realise what's truly important. For me just having food, water and a roof over my head and the good health of my family seems MOST important. Everything else is a bonus that I bow my head in gratitude for. But, that which we call 'basic' is not so basic for everyone after looking at all the people who struggle for just those few things. My prayers with them and their families. May everyone be safe and secure. This time has surely made me more reflective. This need to stay at home with your loved ones has been forced upon the entire world but there is a deep lesson for us all. There is a lesson to strive for work and life balance ( I've valued and strived for this dearly for many years now ), there is a lesson to devote more time in things that actually matter. Today, when I'm surrounded by all the blessings in my life, I just want to tell everyone how much compassion I feel for everyone who I see suffer. I want to help as many possible in the best of my abilities. I feel pride in our resilience to be better human beings. I can instinctively feel this in and around me. We will all have our individual and subjective lessons from this time and hopefully, such lessons will continuously stay with us all.

One of the most talked-about couples of Bollywood, actress Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli met on the sets of a commercial of a Shampoo Brand in 2013. They tied the knot after dating for more than 4 years in 2017. 

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza

WARNING ‘DO NOT’ try this stunt at home ......@geneliad

This cute couple first met on the sets of the movie Tujhe Meri Kasam and developed a strong bond which later grew into love. At first, Genelia thought of Riteish as a spoiled brat but changed her opinion once they started shooting the movie. And the rest is history.  

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 

HappyBirthday Babyyyy-PapaaaaLove LOVE LOVE ALWAYS

These two became close friends on the sets of Dhai Akshar Prem Ke and this friendship continued until things took a serious turn and they fell in love on the sets of Umrao Jaan. Abhishek popped the question on the sets of Guru and they finally got married in 2007.
