7 Famous Male Actors Who Married Into Bollywood Families

Bollywood actors aren’t just known for the roles they play, they are also known for their personal lives and their other endeavors. While a lot of actors choose to marry other actresses from prestigious Bollywood families, some choose to marry celebrity kids who prefer to stay away from the limelight. Either way, this brings increased attention to the celebrity and some might even argue, an extra foot in the industry. However, there are many celebrities who married the love of their lives, who just happen to also be involved in Bollywood. So let’s take a look at some famous celebrity sons-in-law and their beautiful partners:

1. Kunal Khemu

Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu have been together for a very long time now. The pair have your typical Bollywood romance; they met while filming a movie. Sparks flew on the sets of their film, Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge and the pair famously had a live-in relationship until they finally tied the knot in 2015. The adorable pair shares daughter Inaaya together and Soha is a few years older than Kunal. Besides breaking stereotypes, Kunal doesn’t mind that his wife is Bollywood royalty. Soha Ali Khan’s mother, Sharmila Tagore was a famous actress in her heyday and was also related to Rabindranath Tagore.

2. Kunal Kapoor

Shweta Bachchan is the woman who apparently introduced Kunal and his lovely partner, Naina Bachchan. The pair dated for around three years before the Rang De Basanti heartthrob broke all his lady fans’ hearts by announcing that he had tied the knot with Naina. Naina is the niece of Amitabh Bachchan and the daughter of his brother Ajitabh Bachchan. Kunal and Naina had a dream destination wedding in the scenic town of Seychelles.

3. Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar was quite the ladies’ man back when he had just made his entry into Bollywood. However, the Khiladi actor stunned his fans when he tied the knot with his girlfriend Twinkle Khanna in 2001. The actor had famously dated stunning women like Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shetty before he met his forever partner. Twinkle had also acted in movies around that time but stepped away to focus on her writing. She is the daughter of famous couple, Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna. Twinkle and Akshay share two children, son Aarav and daughter Nitara.

4. Dhanush

The “Why This Kolaveri Di” hitmaker made his debut in Bollywood opposite Sonam Kapoor in the movie, The actor tied the knot with Aishwarya Rajinikanth who is the daughter of (you guessed it) legendary actor Rajinikanth in the year 2014. Dhanush had later on revealed that contrary to popular belief, they were not dating each other before marriage and stated that the marriage was arranged by their parents.

5. Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan was once married to actress Amrita Singh, who was the daughter of the famous political socialite, Rukhsana Sultana. The pair had two children, Sara Ali Khan, now a famous actress herself and Ibrahim Ali Khan. However, things between the couple ended bitterly and after a difficult divorce, Saif Ali Khan found himself in the arms of Italian model Rosa Catalano. Sadly that relationship didn’t last long either. It was on the sets of the film Tashan that he grew close to his co-star, Kareena Kapoor. Kareena is the younger daughter of actors, Babita and Randhir Kapoor. After dating for five years, Saif and Kareena (affectionately called Saifeena) tied the knot in 2012. They are now parents to son Taimur Ali Khan and a part of a beautiful blended family with Saif’s older kids.

6. Ajay Devgn

Ajay and Kajol make us believe that opposites truly attract. The pair met while shooting for their film, Gundaraj in the year 1994. They dated for four years before tying the knot. Kajol is the daughter of film director Shomu Mukherjee and Tanuja. Oddly enough, the notoriously shy Ajay has admitted to not proposing to Kajol officially and just marrying her. Kajol is known for her vivacious personality and jovial nature and is the polar opposite of introverted Ajay. The pair share two children together, Nysa and Yuv Devgan.

7. Sharman Joshi

Sharman Joshi wed Prerana Chopra in the year 2000. Well before he achieved fame after his role in the mega-hit film Rang De Basanti. Prerana is the daughter of famous villain of the yesteryears, Prem Chopra. The pair first met when they were in college while participating in stage plays (Romeo and Juliet move out of the way!). The couple share three children together, a daughter named Khyana and twin sons, Vaaryan and Vihaan.

It’s lovely to see so many beautiful love stories blossom out of Bollywood. Many fans look up to these celebrities as idols and think of their relationships as #relationshipgoals and #couplegoals. However, like every other couple in the world, actors too are not spared from the trials and tribulations of marriage. Many people say Bollywood marriages don’t last.
