Soha Ali Khan hails from the royal Pataudi family and has deep roots in Hindi cinema. Sharmila Tagore, mother, Saif Ali Khan, brother, Kareena Kapoor Khan, sister-in-law are prominent actors of Hindi cinema. Kunal Khemu, a fun- loving, simple guy from Srinagar who is the son of Ravi Khemu and Jyoti Khemu also tried to make a mark in Bollywood. When these actors came together for the film ‘Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge’ for the very first time in the year 2008 they didn’t even think of becoming friends, let alone dating or marrying each other. But, as we say destiny always have something else in the store and within no time Soha and Kunal fell for each other and the entire film fraternity was aware of the new romance that was brewing. Soon this couple moved in together for a live-in relationship and left no room for media to make any mountains out of mole-hill.
Kunal popped the question first to Soha in Paris, the city of romance in the year 2014 to which Soha said a yes promptly without wasting a single moment. Excited Soha shared this great news with the world through Twitter and her tweet read, “It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world and I said yes.”
They finally became one on January 25, 2015. The nuptials took place in Mumbai at their residence in Khar. It was a private affair with only family members, a registrar, and close friends. Even though the couple wanted to keep their wedding away from media attention it still attracted a lot of it because Kunal was becoming a part of the family of Nawabs.
They welcomed their first baby, a beautiful girl on 29 September 2017 and named her Innaya Naumi Kemmu.
9. SAIF ALI KHAN & KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN
Saif and Kareena or as the world likes to call it ‘Saifeena’ is one of the best love stories that we saw blossoming in the Bollywood. They both fell in love with each other while shooting for their film ‘Tashan’. The film, however, didn’t do great at the box office but the audience liked the fresh pairing and their chemistry. Kareena and Saif started dating in October 2007 and by that time Kareena had moved on from her relationship with then boyfriend Shahid Kapoor. After dating for good five years the two announced their wedding and became husband and wife on October 16, 2012. Kareena who was at the peak of her career decided to marry Saif crossing all the age and religious boundaries and grabbed a lot of attention. Media from all across the globe showed huge interest in this wedding and was keen to know all the details of it for its luxury, magnificence, and regality.
Kareena is Raj Kapoor’s granddaughter who is also known as the Showman of Hindi cinema and was born to Randhir Kapoor and Babita who were celebrated actors in their time. She comes from a Hindu Punjabi family whereas Saif Ali Khan is Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s son and is often addressed as the ‘Chote Nawab’. Nawab Mansoor was a famous cricketer whereas his mother Sharmila Tagore is a yesteryear famous actress and comes from a Muslim family. Despite their religious differences and age gap where Kareena is 12 years younger to her husband they both got married and broke these narrow prism of culture, religion, and age. The best part of their union was this that unlike the other marriages that happened in the Pataudi family where women changed their religion to Islam to get a social acceptance, Kareena didn’t accept Islam as her religion and Saif had supported her in this decision.
Kareena gave birth to her first child, cute as button baby boy on 20 December 2016 and the couple has named him Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. Since the time he was born this star kid is grabbing a lot of attention just like his stylish parents and grabs media attention wherever he goes.
