4. Sanjay Dutt And Rhea Pillai
This couple got married on Valentine’s Day in 1998. At the time, she was a model and lifestyle coach and followed a very spiritual lifestyle. She saw Sanjay Dutt for the first time in court when he was released on bail. Rhea worked as an instructor in the Art of Living at that time and Sanjay Dutt found comfort in her company. They eventually fell in love and got married but their relationship didn’t last too long. They separated in 2005.
5. Raj Kaushal and Mandira Bedi
A lot of us know Mandira Bedi. She is a fine example of women empowerment and she’s filled with immense talent. What you don’t know is that she is one of the few lucky women who found true love in her husband, Raj Kaushal. In the year 1996, they met for the first time during an audition. He was in for an audition for Philips 10. She had already made her mark as an actress with her television show Shanti as well as the famous Bollywood movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. He had not noticed her until then. She showed up for the audition in a red and white striped t-shirt and khaki pants and that was when he first noticed her. They clicked well, met often and by the end of the year were in a steady relationship. Being polar opposites did not stop them from falling in love and they believe that the glue of their relationship is that they are complementary in nature. With the blessings of their parents, they joined together as husband and wife in 1999 and without a doubt made a quintessential Indian couple. They’ve been married for 18 years and are blessed with a beautiful son. The couple is planning to adopt a baby girl soon. We wish that they are blessed with an angel soon.
