A successful marriage is all about arguing on random stuff and forgetting about the big fights over a cup of hot tea. Every day is like a new surprise and without even realising you are celebrating your golden anniversary together.
Recently, in an interview with Humans Of Bombay, Kajol talked about her love story in detail. She shared her first meeting with Ajay and said, “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. 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 from me–that’s all I knew.”
Kajol further revealed how her father wasn’t happy with her decision of marrying Ajay, “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.”
Kajol also shared an interesting detail from her wedding and said that Ajay tried to bribe the pandit to rush the wedding. She said, “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!”
