Ajay and Kajol are one of the most adored and loved celebrity couples of India. While Kajol is fond of letting her heart out, Ajay is a man of few words however what sets them apart is their mutual understanding and the sense of quiet yet unconditional committment to each other. You might not spot them sharing intimate moments in the public or professing their love in front of the paparazzi but will surely see them standing with each other through thick and thin. Let us reacquaint you with how Ajay and Kajol's reel life romance took a real-life turn, a love story for ages.
Their first meeting was an incident planned by cupid. The couple first met during the shoot of their 1995’s movie ‘Hulchul’. The sudden death of Bollywood actress Divya Bharti made makers rope Kajol in the lead. Even after working together, Their first impression of each other was not so pleasant as Ajay and Kajol didn't even become friends.
Kajol’s first impression of Ajay, as she revealed at a chat show, was, “Who’s this guy? What kind of personality does he have? He sits in one corner and smokes like a chimney and even doesn’t speak to anybody.” But gradually that changed and Kajol was sure about Ajay playing a crucial role in her life.
With their changing equation in the reel-life, the real-life also took a turn and made them close friends. Kajol and Ajay got close at that time and they started giving each other dating tips. Kajol started taking love advice from him. Even Ajay was dating another girl at the time.
The love story of the couple took two years to start. After doing their first movie and getting out of their respective love affairs during the post-production stage of their movie Gundaraj, the two started dating each other.
The couple kept their relationship lowkey and less fancy. After four years of their courtship, without any formal proposal, the duo decided to get married in an intimate ceremony since Ajay, being an introvert, didn’t want media attention.
In his own words, Ajay once said, “We never resorted to the usual ‘I Love you’ routine. A proposal never happened. We grew with each other. Marriage was never discussed, but it was always imminent.”
On February 21, 1999, the couple exchanged the vows at Ajay’s residence and promised to hold each other at every moment of life.
Ajay and Kajol are a couple who reminds us that true love does not lie in photos with philosophical lines of love, it is when partners show their support to each other.
It has been 20 years and the couple’s love is still standing strong. Ajay and Kajol are now the dotted parents of Nysa Devgn and Yug Devgn
