What happens when a quiet and shy introvert meets a completely outgoing extrovert?
They are bound to either bang their heads together or fall head over heels in love with each other!
The latter is what happened with the most critically acclaimed actors of the film industry of their times.

They were not even friends initially but came to know each other on the sets of the film,Hulchul in 1995.He was the silent man who kept himself aloof from the others and was smoking away merrily when she first saw him.He was dating another woman at that time and Kajol had become good friends with him.She even used to take love advice from him initially.
They were just good friends and everyone else thought the same too about them. They were never touted to be the next couple expected to be in a romantic relationship any day.

After two years of friendship and moving ahead from their previous relationships, they started dating each other.It was not the typical proposal or the three letter declaration of “I love you’ in their relationship still.It was something deeper which connected them together which could not be put in words. They knew they were crucial in each other’s lives and hence they decided to tie the knot after four years of courtship.

The Marriage

Their marriage was held in a private ceremony in Maharashtrian style at Ajaya’s home on February 24, 1995.For this unconventional couple, marriage was never discussed but was imminent.
Their marriage ceremony was an intimate affair with no wedding photographers and media attention.Ajay was the only one having a camera at the wedding!

Kajol revealed why she got attracted to Ajay,” He is not a romantic person who will buy me a rose on a Valentine’s Day and I have to always remind him our wedding anniversary three days in advance but he always looks out for me. I never feel unsafe anywhere because I know he is always behind me standing there for me. He backs me one hundred percent and he knows I am there for him as well.”
They escaped to Europe for their two month honeymoon and their love shone through their strong marriage.
Isn’t this how real life partners are supposed to be? The invisible force guiding and pushing you forward towards your dreams…
